## My Thoughts on I Really Want To Go Against The Sky "I Really Want To Go Against The Sky" certainly presents an interesting premise, blending modern-day cultivation with an impending apocalypse. The mixed reviews had me curious, so I dove in to see what all the fuss was about. ### First Impressions The initial setup is intriguing. Our MC experiences a grim future before being thrust back into his past with a system in tow. It's a classic reincarnation trope, but the added element of absorbing souls and memories from the future gives it a unique twist. I was immediately hooked by the potential for fast-paced action and strategic development as the MC tries to avert the looming disaster. ### What Works Well I found the MC's personality to be a refreshing change of pace. While some might find him "shameless," I appreciated his often humorous approach to dire situations. The fact that he prioritizes strengthening humanity as a whole, even sharing cultivation techniques, is a welcome departure from the typical self-serving protagonist. The system, while a cheat, seems necessary to balance the overwhelming threat of rapidly evolving monsters. The story also earns points for its unique premise, taking a transmigration story and turning it into a race against time. ### Areas of Concern I can understand some of the criticisms regarding the plot. It seems that while the premise is interesting, the execution might not be for everyone. Some readers found the human interactions bland and the characters lacking depth, comparing them to "cardboard boxes." While I didn't find it *that* bad, I can see where they're coming from. Additionally, the quality of translation may be a barrier for some readers, although it's generally understandable. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, so there are some spoilers floating around. Apparently, the MC isn't afraid to make some controversial decisions, like killing a child's pet to prevent future mutation. This kind of ruthlessness can be a double-edged sword, adding complexity but also potentially alienating readers. Also, the MC merges souls with all the dead people, that may be a make or break for some readers. ### Final Verdict "I Really Want To Go Against The Sky" is a mixed bag. It has a compelling premise, a likable (if somewhat unconventional) protagonist, and a unique take on the cultivation genre. However, it also suffers from potential pacing issues, character development concerns, and possible translation quirks. If you're looking for a lighthearted, action-packed read with a flawed but well-intentioned MC, this might be worth a shot. Just be prepared for some rough edges along the way. I'd say it's a solid 3/5 stars.
