A cultivation world destined for destruction. A man fated to destroy it. There's a prophecy to ignore.

Jim was thrust back in time, returned to his body at the moment he started cultivating. Anyone else might have given up, but Jim doesn't have that option. He's already made the mistakes that doomed him in his first life, and he knows what to do to make it right. Jim wants to right the wrongs of the past… or, future? All while a pair of angry gods torture him through lack of sleep.

He must find a way to reach the top of the cultivation world without drawing the attention of those who would take his knowledge of the future for themselves. Jim has seen how the world ended, and he is determined to fight his way through the world's hidden foes and defeat his destiny.

Weakened to merely a shadow of his former strength, he quickly learns that fighting alone may not be his best option, even though fate seems to like it that way.

Luckily for the world, Jim thinks fate is stupid. He doesn't care what it wants.

Es ist ein gutes Buch für nebenbei. Da es keine wirkliche Spannung gibt, kann man nichts verpassen. Der MC ist ziemlich OP.

Zu schnell, zu viel, zu einfach

The book is an a bit above average rebirth/Isekai meet Xianxan novel, not bad, not too good. The Isekai part is extremely underdeveloped to the point that is only being used as a Deus Ex Machina and to speed the plot along. Which is fine because the books don't overuse these plot devices. Almost no actual story arcs are actually built upon the premise that the MC is reborn, only instigated, the Isekai part only used as a storyoutline/-guide. The humor is mostly funny but sometimes bordering on cringy. There's a lot of needles verbal gore, so if that's something you enjoy; it's got that going for it. The pacing is quite alright, sometimes the descriptions are a bit to coarse. The plot throughout book 1 to 3 is mostly simple & linear, and the series implements a lot of steriatypical scenes. That being said there is enough divergence for them to be an entertaining read, both as audio and as physical medium alias printed text.

Mostly average story outline, but well executed

The main character is better than everyone from the start which removes all danger and tension.
For the first 4 hours he beats up every "super mean" bully that "definitely" deserves it in a coldblooded manner while sitting on his high horse.
Narrator is doing a good job, but that can't save it.
Don't recommend - mediocre at best

no tension, not interesting

TL;DR: Do yourself a favor, don't pick it up. You'll just be disappointed with the sequels.

I'm always on the search for halfway decent progression fantasy, so when I finished the first book I was fairly happy I had found one more to bridge the gap between more exciting releases, but the author really dropped the ball with the sequels. The progression didn't feel satisfying, the actions of characters felt unrealistic, the dialogues were mediocre at best, science/rules don't hold up. Characters got a gigantic plot armor. First handful of random weaklings found in backwater clan? All prodigies. Adults that lived for several decades and are supposed to be extraordinary, because they got scouted by talent searchers? So pathetic that random 15 year olds laugh at them.

First book was okay, sequels are pretty bad.
