Reverend Insanity

Reverend Insanity is a weird one. The main character, Fang Yuan, is basically a soulless calculator. No emotion, no guilt, nothing remotely human. He just wants power and will throw anyone under the bus to get it. At first it feels “different,” but after a while, the one-note personality just gets exhausting.

Yeah, the world-building is solid, I’ll give it that. But the pacing drags, buried in endless strategy talk that kills any real momentum. And Fang Yuan never changes. Like, ever. No growth, no conflict, just cold logic from start to finish. People call it 'realistic,'but honestly, it just feels hollow.

You finish a chapter and go, “What am I even doing?” And if you’re still hyping this thing up, you’re either way too into edgy characters, or just pretending to like it because the internet says it’s cool. No other way around it. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

What can I tell you my friend?

The absolute struggle, the sufferings, the blood, the tears, the killings, Life at its absolutes here is shown

Fang yuan's spirit, his dark personality, his struggles, his life, his resolutions, his hatred, his ruthlesness to others and especially to himself, his slight smile

Pursuit of the Infinite! Eternal life is his goal, the world his stage, you the one along for the ride

this is not a book for enjoyment, if you go on the ride, you are resolute in pursuing whatever it takes to attain the Infinite, stepping on corpses, betraying friends and enemies, returning in time, fighting to the death and dying repeatedly

He will not give up! this guy is a mad man, an absolute devil, whatever it takes, he will pay it full price upfront!

Wisdom is sown everywhere in this novel, the spirit of humanity, resistance and fighting for the beyond, fighting both against the Heavens, Fate and everything human

the main struggle in the novel is against Fate and fighting its shackles

if you do not feel Absolute Excitment, adrenaline flowing through your veins in everyone of its chapters, you are reading wrong

Reverend insanity is a Journey of Transcendence, exploring the beyond, overcoming the odds, rebelling against the rules of the world and pursuing one's goal of Eternal Life

Facing the entire world with no hope of success, facing all the challenges of reality yet overcoming them with Sheer fucking Will!

A Character so Transcendental, so Mighty, so Supreme, that the mere utterance of his name sends shivers up your spine

Cornered from all sides, completely exhausted, weak and near death, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly

Hopeless, in absolute despair, surrounded by enemies from all sides, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly!

Against the Heavens, Against Heavenly court, Against his enemies, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly!

A Journey to the Beyond! this world is too small for people who look for the beyond, if you don't have that fire in your soul while and after reading this novel, you are reading it wrong

were you wronged in your past? have you suffered? have you cried in the deepest part of the night?

well, cry no longer, enter here and kill everything that has made you suffer, pursue the infinite and take revenge on all your enemies, your goal Eternal Life, your enemy, the Heavens, Fate and the entire world

If you still want to live after this, something must be wrong with you, this has shown the absolute fire that Life is, I've lived through everything in it, put myself in it, was thrown everywhere

What can I tell you my friend?

This novel is a piece of art, its a masterpiece bestowed on humanity

This Novel will give you the Will to live, the will to say f*ck you to the entire world and to live your own life regardless of what anyone says and help you build the resolve to tread your own path or die trying

I was a Neet when I read it and now years after, I've read dozens of the best novels , both chinese and normal and I have yet to find something that impacted as much as this novel did

The enemies in this novel are something else, everyone is shrewd, scheming, ruthless, everything is painted under dark shades of grey, there is no righteousness, no help me and I help you

In this novel, there is no friendship, no companionship, there is only Fang Yuan alone against the entire world trying to f*ck him over

Only something this extreme can give you the will to live!

Fang yuan is ruthless, torturing people, stealing, scheming, making others suffer, he is resolute, he doesn't back down nor does give up in despair

If someone suicidal came to me, all I would tell him was read this and see if you can die!

Fang Yuan has heart, he is also someone who was once weak, who lived through things and his poems elicit deep emotions in the readers making them understand him and love him despite all his cruel deeds that they do not agree with

"Ambitious mountains with steps firm as steel, taking large strides with unwavering determination. Taking risks to obtain the essence of the universe, my heart still seeks to rise beyond heaven."

"In this world, no one is capable of ending my ambitions, only a coward and defeated person will look for excuses, even if I shed tears and snot ooze from me, I will keep climbing the mountain, for that is the joy of life. Persevere and achieve great feats, either that or accept death."

How much would I rate this novel?

10 outta 10. I swear to god, this will make your heart flinch, cry, break, and sweat. you will probably need a doctor while you read this because I KNOW you cant, and you will not sleep. This novel haunts you in your dreams. Your depression? Gone. The moment you wake up, your inner monologue would be "Fang yuan! that Madman!" You probably never read anything with such philosophy and way of life that you see yourself slowly admiring him

This novel gives you a reason why being a NEET, no job, without friends, and being rich is the greatest dream of all time. Reading this novel will make you work harder and try harder in life. Actually, you'll like the main character so much that if you think you're too lazy to do something, you'd be thinking "i challenge myself cause i aint no p*ssy" after reading this. Read this. Like right now.

Read Now🗣️

This will forever be my #1 novel. This novel got me hooked with anti hero genre, but the protagonist here is a full-fledged villan. All the people in the world want him killed but he still manages to outsmart them... 

This novel is #1 for me and nothing can top it. What I enjoy most of Reverend Insanity is Fang Yuan's philosophy and monolouges yet the only dissapointing is the ban.

PEAK ABSOLUTE PEAK FANG YUAN FOREVER RAHHH!!!!!

If you like ruthless Mcs who will do everything for power read this right now. I will find you if you don't

Very good novel but a slow pace, I think most people who hate this novel give up in the first 100 chapters and don't ever get to experience how good the novel is. If you are one of those people please try it again, it's worth it.

If you are into xianxia this novel is a 10/10, if you aren't into xianxia the novel is still a solid 7 - 8 / 10 it hase so much to offer, def worth reading

PS: This is actually my first time writing a review — and I'm only doing it because this novel holds a special place in my heart.

Reverend Insanity is one of those novels that pushes readers to extremes — you’ll either love it or hate it. Honestly? I loved it.

The author has a very deliberate narrative style: each story arc starts slow, immersing you in the atmosphere and a sense of calm, almost like a cooldown after the dopamine rush of the previous climax. And those arc finales? Some of the best I’ve seen in years of reading webnovels. The payoff? Nothing short of spectacular.

At times, the pacing might seem to falter, but it’s all part of the structure. Let the author cook — you’ll be rewarded. Impressively, especially for a xianxia novel, it just keeps getting better.

The protagonist is the absolute highlight. He’s the ultimate villain — cold, cunning, ruthless, and deeply compelling. Easily the best MC I’ve come across in cultivation novels. And the supporting cast? Top-tier. Unlike most stories in the genre, the “old monsters” here aren’t just filler — they’re crafty, dangerous, and genuinely fascinating. No throwaway elders here; every character brings something to the table.💯
