  • Library of Heaven's Path frustrating arc.

Question. At what point will the 10-day 2 Star Master Teacher trial end? This arc is just too annoying to read... Also maybe a TL;DR on what happens after the second duel when that fatty gets a poison from the great herb king to the end of the arc.

    the trial ends in 6 days instead of 10 but dont know the exact chapter

    SeraphiMaelstrom lol this annoying and few more arcs are gonna last till 500 to 600 when it starts getting really good, read the mtl

    Luta Ikr! How is this novel even so highly rated? It's basically a filler paradise and the worst kind of wish fullfilment novel i have ever read! It's repetitive af and requires you to shut down the part of your brain that governs over logic... It's a miracle i even lasted up to chapter 123 before my tolerance ran out haha! It's not just highly rated in Qi tho. It's even very highly rated in novel updates! It seriously baffles me... And then we have novels like Assassin's Chronicle that gets literally no attention. It's actually a pretty good novel but it's just crawling at the bottom for some reason. I guess general public is just more into brainless stuff that doesn't need any thinking...

      Look at Feng Xia novel ratings (TTNH, OEM and co) and they all are under 30 mostly.

      Or Mao Ni books

      Or Spirit Sword mountain

      Or freaking Er Gen books

      But no, let's make random face-slapping and cheats the top spot. Why not?

        Luta Well, tbqh Er Gen books start great, develop great but then at some point become too draggy and repetitive. I dropped ISSTH like around 1000 chapters...

        N0xiety lol i reach the same chapters till i dropped, so much filler

        Luta Sigh Mao Ni novels are so good, but they're really down in the rankings, everyone says his novels got a slow pacing but i think they just perfect.

          PiedritaNegra Mao Ni novels really do have one of the worst pace i have seen. Ze Tian Ji is a great novel but it's so goddamn draggy. It wouldn't be too much of a problem if the translation was fast but even 1ch/day speed doesn't cut it. The story barely moves forward because of how draggy the novel is with such translation speed.

            N0xiety I think the ZTJ pace is good, because it goes with the personality of the MC, and, at least for me, the beginning is really good, because I was so bored of the MCs becoming OP so fast, fighting for all kinds of places, and offending young masters and sects. This novel gave me something new, and since then, i fell completely in love with Mao Ni novels
            Also for the novels here, Joy of Life or The Path Towards Heaven (especially this one), they are not so slow, and i like how in the former the pace was neither fast nor slow.

            Luta

            First I would like to tell my sad story. I read this novel called A Thought through Eternity( Er Gen) and got addicted to the feel so I want more. At the time I was only getting my novel recommendations from mangaupdates(and still do sometimes) and eventually I found, World of Cultivation ( Fang Xiang) and fell in love all over again with an entirely different feel but before I found that there was something in between....something I like to call the gag of all gags for all these xianxia novels. The ultimate reincarnation is that of a librarian. Library of Heavens Path has that overpowered in a minute Achilles heel. I read up to the start of the kids competition before he ofc beats that Lu guys butt. I read LOHP sporatically between novels it is that novel for me where you skip mass amounts of the chapter content to hear his long explanation of why he's right and other dude is wrong. Or maybe just waiting for that time which he panics cause he cannot activate the library to tell him what he needs to know (his excuses sometimes are gold and his solutions to things kill me). So basically for the ultra rich comedy that is built on a cliche that takes forever.

            IMHO spirit sword mountain is guilty of bad comedy (I never laugh at their antics only when lady master f's up is anything ever funny to me). Though the story is very intriguing so it wins as a serious novel in my book and deserves to be looked at only when I'm in the mood for it not to mention I don't read the novel but the web comic cause that's how I started and I'm gonna finish it, in full color!!

            Also the reason I mention those two novels start is because while looking for something like the other I found LOHP which led me to an even greater novel so I am forever grateful to its existence.

            N0xiety
            Lastly the Mao Ni problem....what can I say Ze Tian Ji literally annoys me to death because of a damn dragon. After the dragon incident, I couldn't find any traces of it like 200 chapters ahead and only mentioned the dragon during combat.... I'm like wtf!!! And rage quit on the novel. Yes the slowness of that story progression in my actual reading i never felt but then when i wanted to know something it became glaring clear something was wrong. I will go back to it when I cool down but its been almost a year and I still ain't cool. Also joy of life is my shiz though have not raged out yet because it's not even translated up to 150 yet so...

            I can't take this sheet anymore... Time to drop this one. Too bad though, it was so good from the beginning. Now they just force stupid events just to make things "funny."

              SeraphiMaelstrom exactly, I also think the same.
              It was good at first, then they start to introduce random people offending and 'logic breaking' chapter just for filler.
              At first the MC was agreeable and you can relate, but it's going down the plot hole each time.
              It's like MC lost his value from his previous life and just become and ordinary citizen of the cultivation world with some cheat.

                so much repetition and lack characters development. I Dropped this novel after the mc fought with lu xun, disappointing to the max

                  I was so frustrated with that arc. Especially when he missed his chances of becoming the most recognized teacher just because of bad timing or MC's ignorance. Haven't read it since.

                  14 days later

                  Tired of reading him assumes more identity, creates troubles for himself, and be ignorant. Like goddamn, look at Lin Fan, although he's also ignorant, at least he doesn't need to create the problem for himself in order for the plot to move forward. I remember how hard it is to read his students battling each other (students of different identities he assumes) for his sake, makes me wanna quit reading because of his ignorance and (brain got numb).

                  N0xiety I agree with you for most of it but i don't think assassin's chronicle is that good. What ruined it for me is that bitch daughter of the mage.

                    I just binge read this. While it is a mystery to me that this at top spot while Cultivation Chat Group is down below, this is an ok parody novel.

                    Read first 100-200 chapters and you'll know pretty much how the next story will be written, same stuff with different setting. Now, I'm reading lnmtl by skimming (duh why bother reading 'kick a formation to turn it off' or 'he is 2 star xxx,xxx' for the hundredth time) because I'm curious about the reason why MC got poisoned.

                      PaaGuuChoki hummm, if that's the only thing making you go on , then i advise you to stop, beause till recent chapters he's nowhere near solving that mystery

                      The only devloppement there is thzt he saved some guy's daughter that turned out to have some innate poisonous soul (some kind of talent) that managed to supress an outburst of that innate poison of his.
                      In brief what happenned in the last hundred chapter :
                      -Mc is cool and still faceslapping by doing the impossible.
                      -Mc became 6 star FINALLY.
                      -The only disciples that are yet to decide on their path are Wang Ying and the fist guy.
                      -THE THING THAT TURNED ME OFF THE MOST, MC IS SOMEHOW IN LOVE WITH A GIRL THAT HE DEEMS "mysterious" .

                        Tumeke You know... That's called character development. Not everyone can be perfect, but everyone can learn from their mistakes. That 'bitch daughter' came a long way from how she was at the start. Just like how Anfey changed himself and all the other members. But i guess you are just into brainless stuff like perfect mc with his perfect little pets and perfect little followers going around fking everyone up with their perfection? Yeah i get you, i mean it's your choice i can't really refute your taste...

                          I don't have anything else to read so I just binge read novels like this. I have too much free time

                            N0xiety well ok. I'm just saying its not necessarily deserving of having a high ranking. There are definitely better novels than that ranked above and below it. Btw the power rankings is the best example of a popularity contest so you really shouldn't be surprised if an unpopular novel isn't highly ranked. It's weird that you don't see the irony in assuming that because i don't like assassin's chronicle i instantly am a fan if brainless mc stuff.

                            Edit: in reference to "that's called character development" that's kinda bullshit. I didn't like her cgaracter when i stopped reading around chapter 50 and if she was to change so much that i started to like her, is she really the same character. If anyone readslegend of the dragon king, you would know that elder cai is a massive bitch. Even if they give her development later in an attempt to make reader's empathise with her it would feel forced. Maybe I'm weong for thinking this but first impressions matter. It's not that i hate everything about the daughter character, it's that there are no redeeming qualities to her (imo) so even if they add something later i will most likely be stuck in my ways.

                              Tumeke Don't worry she didn't change her character completely. She is still wilful and does what she wants, but now she atleast thinks on how her behavior might effect others around her before she acts. So her character didn't really change much, but the way she acts did. Just like real people. It's an improvement but ofc she still ain't a perfect human being. You are not supposed to like every character anyways, she is just another cog in the wheel that makes the world more diverse. In most other novels mc's followers act like robots who follow after every command and lick his ass at every opportunity. It's like they don't even have their own lives. Especially those stupid harem members in general... Tell me if i'm wrong?

                                N0xiety Yes, you are wrong. I don't like the character, which causes me to dislike the novel. So what if people irl are like that. I choose not to be subjected to the craziness like i choose not to read this novel. In my mind she is not any better than those boot lickers. I don't like both cases and it doesn't make a novel good just because it is diverse in characters, but it can make it a jumbled mess with tons of crossed wires and tonal inconsistencies.

                                  Tumeke Oh? What is your recommendation then? I'm curious since you seem to have quite high expectations. I'm just curious what novel can make you sattisfied. It should also be able to sattisfy me since i also have high expectations, so throw me a bone. I especially require the novels to atleast have common sense and simple logic. Not a fan of exessive usage of plot armor to save the day either. Oh also please spare me the critisizing masses(filler) that talk constant sh*t only to be awed at the end by how awesome mc is... I'm running out of web novels to read currently so?

                                    the more frustrated i am, the more i want to finish the arc so that i can read the future good chapter ... ehem coz i read the spoilers, future chapters are awesome ( sorry for the other people who don't like spoilers, different people have different likes and i like to read spoilers coz chapter updates were slow

                                      i hate this novel, more precisely the author who made the mc so dumb but OP.

                                      i hate the infinite amount of face slap, then boom another face slap, then the author keep telling how amazing that things is in every chapter. then next chapter repeat the same thing, we got it, your mc is freaking amazing. but i continues to read for plot.

                                      no character progression, still dumb and oblivious.

                                      then the golden page appears, it could increase soul depth or something which is ok. but then he effin kills people above his level with the page and i was like what? ok this is quite op.

                                      then the mc goes on rampage for his student, if in most novel is a legit suicide.
                                      he meets an ancestor way above his realm and guess what? plot armor and killed the damn ancestor. why even make realms and the massive difference in power if at the end of the day, you could kill with plot armor. then i drop this novel.
                                      plot armor too much, mc too dumb, but most likely too much rush and stupid reason of mc. mc doesnt know how to chill and goes rampage way too easy.

                                        NineLife hahaha, I guess you fell for the trap. It's not that MC is stupid but compared to others his common sense is way beyond. The plot Armor did make the mc kinda OP but it's in lieu with a majestic tittle Library of Heaven's Path. Heaven's Path is "mysterious" although I agree with the notion that it is a bit too much to use the golden page from the library to kill opponents but it's not like there is a proper way of using the LIBRARY to fight. It's author's way of letting those who believed that library it's just a support tool. Anyhow it's up to imagination and preferences of each reader so I can just say what I feel.

                                          [unknown] he cant figure out that his diciple is fighting each other

                                          didnt even bother getting to know the basic of the test hes going to take, simply rushes through everything. common sense is the majority ways of thinking, that is why it is common. you put it his common sense os way beyond others so that mean he doesnt have common sense. what idiot doesnt bother checking the intruction of a test you are going to take? an idiot with no common sense, or a person who already know the instruction.
                                          its repetitive, this novel. i abandoned it due to plot armor and i give up on this author. seemingly using the same plot, face slap, same lines. nothing new
