Summary

In the depths of a newborn universe, a cultivator takes advantage of the abundant energy to refine himself a treasure. But after 14 billion years of refining and quite a few more to go, he decides to entertain himself by releasing countless systems and watching how the creatures of this fledgling universe handle them.

On Earth, a young man, lost and confused about what to do with his life, sits in a park and looks up at the night sky. A shooting star, a wish and a bang. When the boy finally wakes up he hears a sound, "assimilation complete. Launching System. Welcome to the Midnight Inn. Host Designation: The Innkeeper."

    1.Too slow ( not updates but story and mc level progression) 2.Too much details for not necessary things 3.Author create conflicts but the MC level can't keep it up but still every one feels mc is the best . 4. At some you get vexed and stop reading this s""t

    I have a question for people that caught up. Does Lex gain control of the whole Midnight Realm? It's a little underwhelming right now, have been waiting for this for so long yet he can access only a miniscule amount while his Inn is practically rendered useless until he can complete quests and bring the Inn Facilities back.

      Yes. Read privilege chapters as well. Realm was upgraded to earth immortal but lex fought against most of the strong monsters and beasts there. Inn was reopened and is doing well. All functions available and then some.

        Yup. Jumped from planet to realm in one go. Not a bad promotion.

      No, to have control over a whole realm you need to be on a level similar to a Dao lord

    The author said that there's no Family Hating MC trope in this novel and disregarding him, but so far(im at chapter 190) all of his family members are nonchalant about him and don't really tell him anything or help him with anything. Does this change?

    • ForeshadowKing 8

      So the family definitely does not hate Lex. They do, however, have special circumstances that are keeping them away from him. And there are special reasons why he was never told about cultivation by them. He does start meeting his sisters at around chapters ~800-900 and that’s when you get to know more about what’s happening with them. Not to mention there are bits and pieces from their POV once in a while throughout the story so far.

    This is probably one of the my favorite series on the site. The progression is relatively slow at times, but it's really satisfying every time the main MC gets a new boost in his powers. I think something interesting about this series is that there are multiple MC's who have their own unique arcs that happen congruently with that of the main MC. The interesting to me is how the author shows how intertwined everyone's fate is with each other and that of the main MC, which creates a lot of interesting plot points. The start is definitely slow, but once you push through that it's a gold mine (cancer be like that you know).

      Does this have a lot of action or is it like LOTM where it’s very slow paced / little action / and mc getting new powers.

      • bigregressorultrabro 1

        It's on the slower side. I'd say that the first 100 or so chapters are mainly focused on building up the world and understanding the basic mechanics of the Midnight Inn. The MC acts rather erratically in the earlier parts (but these actions are explained and are corrected later on in the story). It gets a lot better later on in the story with a very good blend of action, base building and comedy (especially as the MC gets stronger). It is a Galactic cultivation novel (similar to Supremacy Games), so you have space travel etc which I love but I know other commentors don't enjoy that. I will say (as was seen in my earlier post), the story has a lot of different MC's and it follows their unique stories. Everyone's story is connected to each other's in some way which makes it nice when you see different pieces fitting into each other. However, because there are different MC's, you may feel disappointed that the story is not solely focused on Lex (the owner of the Inn).

        Thanks for the detailed explanation. I might check this out later on.

      Agree a slow built up story that will burst into greatness once the MC successfully develops into his unique MC trait powers.

    Alr review time for the homies: the story is slow, like really REALLY slow, but that’s not a bad thing imo, the author takes all the time he needs to develop the concepts he’ll be using throughout the story, the story buildup so far is pretty credible with actual side characters, there rarely ever ahh sidekicks and even then it’s mostly for the jokes. So far plot armour is rarely ever used (only remember seeing it once or twice), the mc isn’t brain dead and actually improves on a mental level throughout the story. But tho the mc is pretty strong he’s in no way OP ( for example: he can beat people at his cultivation realm and some above, but his level is so low it’s inconsequential and barely comes into play). All in all if you’re looking for a story that actually wants to tell a tale, not just fill words on a blank screen, but will actively make you invested in it, then this is for you. But if you’re just looking for a novel to pass time (which is completely fine), better pass.

      Yeah, it's a great novel all things considered. The only major flaw with it is how much the author is suppressing MC's cultivation. Would it hurt the author to at least match the MC's speed with those around him? The only reason why the MC hasn't been squashed like a bug yet is that he's great at keeping up appearances as the innkeeper.

        His cultivation speed is amazing. Remember he isn't even 100 and he's catching and passing people over 1000 years old. The disparity you see comes from being 30 and interacting with beings over 1 million. In fact author did an amazing job showing MCs progress when Midnight Realm was closed and he was running around doing stuff. I don't think that's much, if any, spoilers but I'm adding the tag anyways.

        Uhh I think your saying this because you haven't caught up but, the mc's cultivation is way faster and stronger then the people around him.

      • AnimeOverlord856 18

        I mean not really cuz if you're caught up you realize the whole time you was always stronger than anyone at this level or above this level so even if they're faster than him they would still be weaker also he speeds up the stronger he gets to the point that he's not being arrogant when saying no one on his level is as strong as him and everyone who you're talking about who's outpacing him got left behind way behind to the point that they're not even worth his attention he now has to actively slow down his own cultivation

        Oof does the MC need to fake at being strong to be able to live? That's not good

      • RobotBits 19

        No not necessarily, he mostly takes care of problems that involve his life and others personally. And his inn keeper persona is just not a fake persona either it comes with its own set of powers and perks, I won't say much tho for spoilers.
