Fellow reader friend, is your life boring? Are you tired of the same everyday life? Are you tired of feeling like a failure, of feeling like you're not enough or feeling like life could have been more? Are you looking for a little spark to brighten that life of yours?

Well look no longer, I present to you, the greatest novel ever written : Reverend insanity

What is it you might ask?

I say to you, it is beyond your imagination, it is everything you have looked for, everything that you wanted but couldn't pinpoint

Reverend insanity is a novel of 2334 chapters, long enough to sustain you for months, It is the story of Fang Yuan, a demonic cultivator who after living 500 years of life realised that everything in life is impermanent and meaningless and thus set his sights on the highest possible goal : eternal life

Fang Yuan after living 500 years and experiencing the vicissitudes of life sees that only by living true to himself and pursuing the beyond could he have lived a life worth living

Through countless efforts and killing countless people, he refines the spring autumn cicada, an artifact that allows him to return in time, however right after he is cornered and near death thus left with no choice but to activate it and repeat his life anew

He swears that this time, this lifetime will be where he achieves eternal life

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

returning in time, dying, suffering, cruelty, darkness, hell itself, yet who are you, you are Fang Yuan, the world is too small to contain you, you are a raging inferno ready to conquer everything, whatever it takes!

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.

I regret reading Lotm after reading RI

Man, I mean I gave it a hard try, klein does get stronger when he gets the sea god specter but its still boring af after 800 chapters! do you know how much 800 chapters is!

after all the meaningless descriptions and long text and slice of life and I still didn't get any moment where i was like, woah it was worth reading, like no nada!

Even Fang yuan in the first arc in Qing mao mountain is more exciting, him fighting Bai ning bing being his nemesis, the Wolf invasion, the cultivation system, the politics of the elders and fang yuan trying to outsmart him, all the nihilism, all the explanations about the system and Fang yuan just struggling yet always coming up on top

Klein is like this, he first always stays low till something happens to him, he continues to stay low and uses the Fool meeting to investigate then he sees if he's strong enough, if not he just gives up, if good enough he has to plan again and make someone else do it or in rare cases do it himself

Its so boring its unbelievable, the point is even in chapter 700 klein isnt even that good, there arent high stakes and although at points there are, klein is too weak to make use of them or be the one being in the spotlight

like when he fought Mr. A, I thought thank god finally but he could be do something but its such a lame moment, even after all that, he didn't have some insane moment and everyone still died on the city, even when he was as gerhman sparrow, I thought finally, but no, when he got the sea specter, I said finally, but no its still lame as f*ck

Klein is also bland like water, audrey and the sun are too childish, in Ri such characters would be the first to die, add on the amount of slice of life moments, omg

Cultivation system is find ingredients, make potion, drink it and act as the power, the fact that people didnt even know the acting method is re.ta.r.de.d, so basically people drink a potion with the name lets say "seer" and dont get the idea that they have to become and be like a seer to digest the potion? The f*ck? And its supposed to be a reveal to other members? Like bruuh

also the paths are fixed, there is no explanation for the cultivation system, no way to go around it, no way to understand why are paths the way they are, why do potions work? why do beasts have magical powers? there is no way to absorb the magical power like a cultivation system, there is no way to create your own path, no way to be smart and use multiple paths or use some loophole or try to make your own ingredients, no understanding or rank of beasts nor interactions with them despite being the source of these powers

Klein never even finds his own ingredients, there is no refinement or alchemy, the little making the potion we see is just mixing things and meditating, when in most cultivation novels, even shitty ones there is atleast system or people specialised in alchemy and processes explained and one has to rely on them, also Klein never gets his own ingredients like hunting the beasts or scheming to get them, they just fall on his lap

but I still can't get over the fact that he is bland, other characters are also how would I say, they don't have a substance even villains like amon, its just oh there is this villain guy, we don't see some genius process he did, its like ok he has this heaven-defying power, thats it!

the World is also bland, its steampunk industrial society which is just bland, all cultivation novels have a vast natural world, new continents, forests, deserts, pavillions, beautiful cities, huge giant landscapes that can be insanely intriguing and new, there can be abysses, ocean, inheritance grounds, cities above the skies, all types of beasts all with their unique abilities...

but point is even I still hate Klein always staying low even in this boring world, Its not like Fang yuan, where Fang yuan is a fucking Menace every time, even in the first arc in the village planning its downfall, jumping here and there and planning to take over and take as much ressources and escape Qing mao mountain, it doesnt compare to Fang yuan fighting in the wolf invasion and experiencing loneliness and letting the whole village getting annihilated while he profits of it, all his quotes and poems or even Fang yuan outsmarting all the elders and this is just the first arc, it doesnt compare to cultivation where one has to nurture their aperture and get ressources and all types of gu worms to get stronger and use 7 types of gu, investigative, attack, defense, movements, healing and storage and all should be balanced, it does not have excitment and thrill and near death situation

it doesnt compare to having an aperture that has enough primeval essence, we can understand how it all works, oh fang yuan has only 20% primeval essence left and he can only use this attack that consumes 10% primeval essence twice, he has to grow up fast and advance the aperutre to the upper stage so he can use it more otherwise he can't advance in this inheritance

or oh Fang yuan just advanced in the next rank and the walls of the aperture broke and fell in the sea of the aperture to nourish it, or Fang yuan try to refine his own gu worms, or planning which type of gu worms he would need next, what combination of gu worms is needed, how to make a killer, even when one advances to rank 6 one has to break their aperture and absorb heave and earth qi

but lotm is basically, get random ingredients, make them into potions and drink and advance

it doesn't have one has to work to have profiency, one has to make their own techniques and develop their individuality, it doesn't have one has to paths based on elements of nature, it doesnt even explain what gods are, what it means if they descend, why do they try to descend, nothing is developed but nooo its "mysteries", point is even the events arent interesting

Just in Ri, take the Lightning lycan, a smart beast, where both Gu yue and Bai clan leader actually got outsmarted and are near death, it brings horror and fear while Bai ning bing and Fang yuan after nearly dying to each other in insane battles, decide to face the wolf pack decide to team up and get out of here only for Fang yuan to meet up with the Divine investigator a rank 5 coming for his a*s just after he got out of that near death moment, that same moment before it was even more harder battles

Fang yuan then awakening First Gen gu yue basically god level to mortals and then Lord sky crane also came and that Insane scenario where Bai ning suicides to save Fang yuan despite being literal nemesis and having nearly killed each other and then Fang yuan literally suicides to return in time when massacres and the rebirth using spring autumn cicada and uses a GENIUS PLan which you wouldn't have thought about to outsmart both of them and escape

and this is all just the First Arc ffs!

Klein has no defining moment, nothing that shapes him, no dream or purpose beyond just living, add on all those slice of life moments, you can hate Fang yuan because of how "evil" he is however he is inspiring beyond measure, those moments where he is near death, exhausted with no way out yet he never gives up nor looks back and keeps moving forward relentlessly in those impossible situations which define him as a person, he might appear outwordly one dimensional but in those moments of true intensity you find that this character is beyond just being a three dimensional character with true substance, this is a real guy whose been through real s*it and he will never give up, he will never back down ever and he will accept death as long as he keeps going, and he doesnt just talk about it, he shows it in action, he is always the first to strike, to first to look for trouble, to first to create opportunity, he can sacrifice things, he loses, he crashes and he suffers a Lot but he still keeps going which defines him being who he is, you know how he acts and what type of person he is and thats what makes him so Supreme

Reverend insanity mogs lotm, lotm doesnt deserve being mentioned with it.

>He's your average joe from Earth, not your reincarnated and regressed protagonist in RI. With no experience and no knowledge, it's clear he's being cautious and using his connections. That's called being smart in a world that seemingly gets more dangerous by the week

thats why klein should have never grown in power and actually sat down for a hundred years or more and actually understood life itself and grown more and more,

its extremelty unrealistic that a 20 year old man basically becomes a God despite being your average joe, doesn't this basically tear down the credibility of the world

> You can only say that because you have hindsight, really. The logical assumption would be that you get the abilities that the potion is named after. It's very plausible that not everyone would know about digestion because even if they do perform acts that help digest their potion, it depends on the scale of the action. So someone could be doing little things that coincide to be the acting method for that sequence and never notice that it was why they digested the potion faster than others while Klein and Daly could actively feel the digestion because they went out of their way to play along with the name of their sequence.

my brother in christ, if you have more than 50 IQ, you'd figure it our right away, we are talking about people here, people who have lived 50 years, huge underground systems, even the hanged man who if I remember was rank 7 in a church didn't know it which is dumb as hell,

if the potion is named "navigator" its obvious af you are gonna become one, otherwise why drink the potion, did tens of millions of humans live and die for a thousand years and even this didn't get known, this is just lazy writing,

the author could have made that public knowledge and created something else klein could boast about but he was too lazy

What a trash novel, no character development, mc is a castrated emo that has no deep thought, trash romance, no scheming, no deep plot, just surface level instant ramen that makes you vomit when you eat enough
