    I’d rate it 7/10. Around chapter 1148, I couldn’t bear the plot or the MC anymore. He dominates other races just to get what he wants, yet somehow feels offended even though he's the one in need. It's funny how protagonists think they can get everything just by showing off their aura. This is the first novel where I found myself skimming chapters instead of actually trying to comprehend them.

    6.5/10 It is engaging that i read 1400 chapters but thats all , it doesnt do anything more impressive than other novels , so in the end you can read if you have time , it doesnt have sh*tty things like harem or racisim

    Update as of Chapter 781: A solid trashy novel, perfect for passing time. The character development and world-building are surprisingly good, adding depth to the story. However, the plot feels like a Bermuda Triangle—messy, unpredictable, and occasionally nonsensical. It’s entertaining if you don’t take it too seriously, making it a fun, guilty pleasure read.

      It’s not trashy by any means, the only reason certain plot points seem wrong or illogical is because the author has yet to make it logical or right, and he has done that with many plot points I.E made them logical and right which for some will add a hint of mystery whereas for you, you seem to just like having everything laid out in front of you im on chap 1300 something and personally it is a massive time spender, definitely a slow burn novel but by no means trashy, the plot improves and sometimes is bad but it’s never been anything trashy unlike some novels where they make a plot point but don’t expand on it or the plot makes no sense even after attempts to make it work

    Guys if you find errors and maybe some plot holes when reading here it’s because they haven’t been corrected like in the WebNovel version. Please read there if you arent just too financially strained to support the Author 🙏

    I’m up to date with The Innkeeper (Chapter 1409) and wanted to share my thoughts. Overall, I recommend it. While it’s a cultivation novel with familiar tropes, it often uses them for comedy rather than relying on clichés like “eat a pill, slap a young lord, fight his family.” The Inn serves as an excellent central plot device, enabling smooth transitions between adventures while logically supporting the MC’s growth. Most events have explanations, maintaining suspension of disbelief. The novel excels at epic moments—when the MC is serious, the tension feels earned. The comedic elements are genuinely enjoyable, and the MC, while flawed, feels well-rounded. The writing is solid; slow chapters exist but rarely detract from the overall story. There’s no shallow harem trope, and the potential FML has depth. Side characters are fun and meaningful. It’s not perfect, but it’s absolutely worth the read. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

      Quick question, do fml nd MC ends up together or like she's just there nd MC is dense without any idea or something like that?

        The potential female lead has made like 5 appearances total so far, all ranging from like 2-5 chapters. She hasn't done anything significant as of yet, we know very little about her, but the MC finds her beautiful so there's that

        The potential female lead either has no feelings for the mc currently or she hides them extremely well. (first is more likely) Mc isn't dense.

    When I began to read this book I was wondering why in the hell it was outside of the top 10. The longer it has progressed the more I find my eyes rolling at simple overlooks of the author and his ability to drag an arc entirely too long. The MC personality has gotten worse and he essentially no different from the typical 3rd generational young master archetype. Almost everything he has is either given to him by the system or some super plot armor from the writer. Yet his disposition is as if he’s earned it with his own two hands. The gross disrespect to extreme high level beings will never make sense in any novel. Every last one of them to get to their position are apex predators. In any logical sense they would just thump him crushing his entire being. Waiting on whatever mysterious backing he has to address them afterwards. And in this case it would be no one so he’d be dead just like every other amazing person from hubris. Ultimately this book is tolerable but slowly gets worse.

      I am with you, I like the novel but you are right with all you are saying he have a very Bad temper and if WE remember one of his oracle he dead in earth because of the tumor without the system.

      To be fair, dao lords can’t touch him or else they will ruin their investment in the realm, and lower tier ppl wont attack him at the Inn because his backed by a “dao lord”. The only time they can get their hands on him is when his out of it which then is hard since he has multiple stuff hiding him. I agree with other stuff you said tho, personality wise I’m just used to it, not rly a downside or an upside it’s hard to find novels where you 100% agree with every decision the mc makes.

      I actually think the story is borderline unbearable near the beginning and only picks up after some time, getting good after chapter 500 and really good around 1000

        I wouldn't say it ever gets "really good" but it is still better than the dog sh*t that 99.99% of webnovels are.

      Stacking is a bad idea if you like this novel unless you have a good memory. There are so many characters in this novel that you would forget a few of them after a month or two. I definitely forgot a few haha.
