Those who have survived more than three near-death experiences and whose fiancée has a mysterious background will be given priority for admission. 4. Those who have been had their engagement broken and their parents have mysteriously disappeared will be given priority for admission. 5. Those who are targeted and deliberately made things difficult for as soon as they arrive outside the sect gate will be given priority for admission. 6. Those who like to wear a mysterious smile on their lips and whose enemies also like to laugh “jie jie jie” will be directly designated as personal disciples. 7. Those who have had their bones dug out and are on the verge of death will be directly designated as personal disciples. 8. … One day, the Fifth Elder reported: “Sect Leader, great news! Someone outside has been disengaged, wears a mysterious smile on his lips, and also likes to talk to a ring! His parents are also missing?” “What? Quickly bring him in.

## My Thoughts on Becoming Sect Master: My Rules Are a Bit Wild "Becoming Sect Master: My Rules Are a Bit Wild" certainly grabbed my attention with its quirky title, and after diving in, I can see why it's generating buzz. It's a mixed bag, but there's definitely some fun to be had. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the seemingly fresh premise. It's not every day you see a sect master with, well, *wild* rules. The early chapters promised a lighthearted romp through a xianxia world, and the characters seemed to have more personality than your average cultivation novel. I appreciated the story's self-awareness, even playfully acknowledging common tropes. ### What Works Well The fast-paced plot and focus on sheer entertainment are definite strengths. If you're looking for a novel that doesn't take itself too seriously, this could be right up your alley. I particularly enjoyed the way the story branches out to follow different characters, which prevents it from becoming solely focused on the MC. It seems the author has put a lot of thought into the world-building. The size of the chapters is also a bonus, offering a more substantial reading experience. ### Areas of Concern While the novel has its charms, I do have some reservations. The main character, while powerful, can come across as a bit bland. Some readers might find the MC's actions predictable. I also noticed that the romance aspect feels underdeveloped and tacked on. Furthermore, some interactions lack depth, making the characters besides the MC feel less intelligent in comparison. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have expressed concern about potentially problematic elements creeping into the story. Specifically, the introduction of sect rules that seem to promote a certain nationalistic agenda has raised red flags. It’s something to be aware of as you delve deeper into the story, and I hope the author addresses these concerns thoughtfully. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Becoming Sect Master: My Rules Are a Bit Wild" is an enjoyable, if flawed, read. Its strengths lie in its fast-paced plot, quirky characters, and self-aware humor. However, the somewhat uninspired main character and shallow romance are definite drawbacks. The potential for problematic themes further clouds my judgment. If you're looking for a light and entertaining xianxia novel, this might be worth checking out – just be aware of its potential pitfalls. I'd give it a cautious 3.5 out of 5 stars.
