Review by Ramon Mejia
This is a cultivation story with minor progression elements. It features a main character (MC) that reincarnated into a world that uses cultivation and where martial prowess equals power. The early to mid story is mostly training as the genius MC grows in power until he enters a tournament. Late story is the final revenge against those in the city that wronged the MC, world building, and setting up future storylines.
This story has a small amount of RPG elements. It has stats, classes of cultivation, and notifications. But it's mostly a cultivation story with an overpowered MC.
While technically LitRPG, for me there just weren't enough RPG elements to be interesting or to quantifiably justify the huge jumps in power. Not that there isn't power progression, it's just more cultivation based. With huge leaps in power after compressed training and cultivation sections.
While the action is good, overall it didn't work for me. However, if you're more of a cultivation or wuxia fan. You might enjoy the story more than me.
Score: 6 out of 10

Good reading
I liked Kai the cultivator's story. It's not terribly clear why he ends up with other cultivation options unlike those in his new world. It wad fairly simple and easy to read. I had fun with it. The world was developed enough to keep it interesting.
Score: 7.8 out of 10
