Being mistaken for an Ancient Predecessor usually results in heavenly benefits. Not for James Anderson.

After being thrown into an isolated training realm, he is quick to figure out that there is no tutorial. No guidance. No ancient being to fully unlock his system. For eons he remains stuck by himself. Only system notifications and rewards appearing out of thin air keep him from going insane.

But even that eventually stops working.

Standing at the precipice of the Isolated Realm, he closes his eyes and jumps.

A tear in reality opens under his feet, unbeknownst to him. It dumps him into a cultivation world gone awry. Demons and evil cultivators now dominate the world. Righteous sects and clans hole up in caves and array-defended mountain peaks.

Why do they hide? Well, let's just say James has something to do with it.

Follow James Anderson, or is it Yin Hu, as he is dragged into petty squabbles and the lives of the last remaining Hu Family members; Hu Shui and Hu Jun.

Will he achieve his ultimate dream? Will there finally be his dream lady to pamper him after eons of struggling? Or maybe he should begin a harem-chasing adventure?

Follow James (Yin Hu) as he navigates the world with the belief he isn't that strong.

It was funny for awhile, but it quickly becomes extremely annoying. Like come on, we get it, but no one lives this long and is this freaking dumb. It kills the book when it barely even starts.

HOW OBLIVIOUS CAN THE MC BE?!?

This book was difficult for me to get through. The narration itself was fine, but the premise and execution didn’t really work for me.

The story centers around a main character who believes he is underpowered and focuses on raising two young girls to the peak of cultivation. To do this, he lies to them and pretends to be their ancestor while training them and providing resources based on manuals he has received.

The core frustration is that the main character is apparently the most powerful being on the planet, yet he never realizes it and continues acting as if he is weak. That misunderstanding might have been interesting for a short period, but it goes on for far too long and ends up making the character feel unnecessarily foolish.

Because of that, much of the story felt frustrating rather than entertaining. Watching someone with overwhelming power constantly misjudge their own situation stopped being amusing fairly quickly.

The narrators did a solid job with the material, but unfortunately the story itself just didn’t work for me. I won’t be continuing with the next book in the series.

Goofy yet entertaining MC. Definitely plan to purchase the next couple books in the series.

He is unsuccessful (as far as I am in the book) and it doesnt seem to get weird. Will update this if it changes as the series continues.

To clarify to the people who read 'Harem' and were put off

An excellent story! I started to read this story on Royal Road and found it extremely fascinating and then one day it just stopped. I’m glad the author continued to write this and got it published. I really look forward to the next book in the series and hope the series continues for a while.

Good story, very interesting
