Description
Chu Yan’s life went through ups and downs. At the age of fourteen, he stepped into the realm of a fourth level martial arts expert. However, he was framed at the celebratory feast of fifteen and charged with attempting to assassinate the emperor and usurping the throne. In the presence of all the witness and material evidence, he was demoted to a civilian on the spot and sentenced to death. Not only was his martial arts destroyed, the poisoned wine at the banquet was also damaging his body at all times. The Emperor, the Prince, and the Princess colluded just to frame him, the Crown Prince. To Chu Yan, the turning point in his life was probably the pair of earrings left behind by his mother. This echo loop could open a time and space cage called Return to the Ruins Tower. Inside Return to the Ruins Tower, one day was equivalent to three days in the mortal world. Different levels in the tower had different surprises. Chu Yan made up his mind, “When I recover my strength, I will take what you guys took from me, and take it back again!”

My Thoughts on Overriding the Heaven
Alright, let's dive into "Overriding the Heaven." I've spent some time exploring this Xuanhuan world, and I've got some thoughts to share. Overall, it's a mixed bag, landing somewhere in the middle for me. It has moments of brilliance, but also some dips that kept it from truly soaring.
First Impressions
Initially, the story felt a bit generic. The opening chapters are a slow burn, almost deterring me from continuing. However, I'm glad I stuck with it, as it does find its footing. The cultivation system, while not overly complex, is easy to follow and makes sense within the story's context.
What Works Well
One of the most refreshing aspects is the way the author handles villains. They aren't cartoonishly evil or easily swayed to the protagonist's side. They have their own motivations, relationships, and reasons for their actions, which adds depth to the narrative. I also appreciated the absence of those cliché "gasp, shock, awe" reaction chapters that plague so many web novels. The dialogue and narration flow smoothly, conveying information naturally and making for a pleasant reading experience. The side characters, including the harem members, have their own agency and contribute meaningfully to the story, even if their interactions sometimes feel a bit bland. The action is good, and the world-building is solid enough to keep me engaged.
Areas of Concern
While the story has its strengths, it's not without its flaws. The harem, while extensive, lacks depth in its character interactions. Also, the protagonist sometimes gets rescued a bit too often by conveniently placed "seniors," which diminishes his agency.

Final Verdict
"Overriding the Heaven" is a decent read with some enjoyable elements. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a shounen-style Xuanhuan novel with a focus on action and a large cast of characters. However, be aware of the potential for a decline in quality later in the story. I'd recommend giving it a try, but keep your expectations in check.
