At first, I was pleased with this novel. The MC is very calm, he keeps his composure, he never let himself get submerged with his emotions. But I simply can’t bear the story. Sh*t keeps happening to the MC, every time it looks like things are going to get better, sh*t happens, always!

Moreover, I don’t like the fiancee.

一开始我对这本小说很满意。主角非常冷静，从不让自己被情绪控制。但实在无法忍受主角的狗屎运，打脸的桥段太多，几乎贯穿这个故事。

而且，我不喜欢未婚妻。

Another story ruined by author's need for more words = more money.

Take any book you've ever read. Now imagine if that exact same story was written over 50 books.

That's exactly how ZTJ is written.

Author had a good storyboard, then proceeded to lengthen it as much as possible, using any means possible. Walking down the road and saw a tree? Let's take 4 chapters describing everyone's thoughts and emotions regarding that particular tree. Oh hey, look, another tree.

这个故事被水字数毁掉的，毕竟字数=钱

你拿起一本书。想象一下，50本书跟你手上是一样的故事

择天记就是这样写的。

作者写的大纲无限制的填充。比如：路上看到一棵树？用四章来描述每个人对这棵树的看法。然后又看到另一棵。

This novel is unbearingly slow. Some people dislike how fast paced some of the poorly written xianxia novels are, fans of this novel read this due to the knee jerk reaction to poorly written “time skips” that seem ever prevalent in translated novels.

小说节奏缓慢，慢到让人无法忍受。普通人都喜欢快节奏小说，粉丝们读到这篇翻译小说时，会下意识对写的不好的段落跳过。

TheDarkness

Stoic MC, who is extremely humble and yet stubborn with his bottom lines. He doesn't care what others think about as long as he can live with his choices. That makes for an interesting story.

故事的主角极其谦逊，有自己的底线。他不在乎别人怎么想，他只接受自己的选择。这是一个有趣的故事。

My heart aches and my eyes bleed when I see 3 stars or lowers ratings. I get why they don't like it, but I still can't share the feeling. I guess I like simple things.

This novel is slow paced has a calm and inexperienced guy as a protagonist, this story is about following this calm yet awkward guy through his journey of life and death, it's about fate, about choices.

当我看到三星或更低的评价时，心在滴血。我明白他们为什么不喜欢，但我无法体会这种感觉。我喜欢单纯的东西。

小说节奏缓慢，主角没有人生经验是个冷静的人，这个故事跟随着主角走过生与死的人生旅程，这是命运，也是选择。

Biggest letdown among the novels I read. The author was superb during the first half of the story, and he destroyed the novel during the second half. In my opinion, the author has a lot of issues with his own ego, self-conscious, and overthinking.

这是我读过最令人失望的小说。故事的前半部分很出色，后半部分他写崩了。在我看来，作者的自我意识过重。

riida

I really liked most of it, as it has several unique, interesting and engaging components to it, BUT, it's very emotionally unbalanced. Mostly negative. MC is getting horrible treatment from EVERYONE, unjustifiably and unreasonably.

很喜欢小说的大部分内容，它有几个独特的、有趣的和引人入胜的桥段值得阅读，但情感上处理失衡。大部分是负面的。每个人对主角的不公正待遇是毫无逻辑的。

Aeternus

If you read the novel, you will propably think the rating is wrong. I don´t know which side you will be on, the one who thinks it is too high, or the side that thinks it is too low. It is hard to give this novel a rating. In my opinion three is too high.

如果你读了小说，你能会认为评价是错误的。我不知道你站哪边，是太高还是太低，都很难给小说打分。在我看来，三星评价太高了。

Cool, maybe this story is amazing but honestly for me it is unbearably boring. The main characters actions and personality is as flat as a line.

很酷，也许故事很精彩，老实说，对我来说太无聊了。主角性格平淡如水不是我的菜。

whatdoyoumeanihavehpv

The author has really like to pad his chapter with a lot of words and it drags the story down. I don't mind the pacing but at least have something interesting.

The story is not fun to read, it's not a proper mystery, it's not an action novel, it's just bland.

作者很喜欢在他的小说里填充文字，于是故事节奏便拖了下来。我不介意节奏，至少有一些有趣的东西。

小说并不有趣，不是解密小说，也不是动作小说，感觉平淡无奇。

It really hurts me to give this novel 2 stars but it has to be done.

To be honest this novel has interesting characters, interesting MC, interesting storyline and is overall well written and translated and can be ranked under the top novels IF the golden rule of writing would not have been broken.

虽然给这部小说打两颗星很伤心，但我必须这么做。

老实说，这本小说总体上写很好，比如风趣的角色、有趣的主角、有趣的情节，写作黄金法则没有被打破的话，可以排在顶级小说之下。

People have said that Ze Tian Ji is slow. Yes it is, but so what? People have said that the fights take a long time. They do, but so what?

If all you want to do is to eat junk food, then open a packet of chips. That takes only a few seconds, and it is fast. If you want to eat something better, go for a burger at burger king's. It might take 5 minutes, but it tastes better, and is healthier. If you want to eat a delicious 5 course meal at a restaurant, it takes time. It is slow. It takes an hour for the meal to complete, but the taste is beyond compare.

有人说择天记很慢。是的那又怎样？有人说打斗很拖沓。是的那又怎样？

如果你想吃垃圾食品，那就打开一包薯条，这个速度很快只需要几秒；如果你想吃更好点的，去买个汉堡。这可能需要5分钟，味道会更好更健康。如果你吃一顿美味的中餐，这需要时间。因为它很慢。至少需要一个小时，但味道无与伦比。

Reading ZTJ, though, I feel anger, pride, humility, and, most of all, frustration! Towards the MC, nonetheless! And it feels so good!

读择天记我感受到了愤怒、骄傲、谦逊，最重要的是，挫折！尽管如此，面对主角的感觉真好

ryllonceras

This novel is really hard, really different from others. Not the type you should read with unclear mind.

But its not a bad thing, Its actually very refreshing and fun!

和其他小说不同，这本小说真的很难。你必须在你头脑清楚的时候阅读。

这不是一件坏事，这是非常有趣，令人耳目一新的故事

Maleandar

An excellent read, BUT requires lots of patience.

The story itself is well drawn out and all the underlying details are descripted chapter after chapter.

这是一本需要耐心阅读的小说。

故事很长，所有细节都被一章一章的描述。
