The Regressed Lecher Became an Orthodox Sect Genius

My Thoughts on The Regressed Lecher Became an Orthodox Sect Genius

First Impressions

Okay, so "The Regressed Lecher Became an Orthodox Sect Genius" is quite a title, isn't it? It definitely grabs your attention, and the premise is… well, it's certainly something. The story throws you right into a murim world, where our protagonist gets a second chance at life. But this isn't your typical redemption arc. He retains his… ahem… lecherous tendencies from his past life, which, as you can imagine, creates some interesting (and occasionally eyebrow-raising) situations.

What Works Well

The world-building is solid. I found myself invested in the martial arts setting and the various sects and power dynamics at play. The story has a clear goal: our protagonist needs to get stronger, and his method of doing so involves forming bonds with specific women. The author does a decent job of tying this rather… unconventional… power-up system into the narrative. I'll admit, I was curious to see how he'd navigate the challenges of being a "lecher" trying to fit into an orthodox sect. The fight scenes are well-written and the plot is engaging enough to keep me wanting to read more. I think the unique concept and the fast-paced plot make it a novel that many would enjoy.

Areas of Concern

Honestly, my biggest issue lies with the main character's behavior. Sometimes, his "teasing" goes way too far, and it can be difficult to reconcile his actions with his supposed desire to be a righteous martial artist. There were moments where I questioned his morality and found myself hoping for some genuine character development. The harem aspect is also quite prominent, so if that's not your cup of tea, you might want to steer clear. I feel like the author could have explored the romance in a more nuanced way.

Final Verdict

"The Regressed Lecher Became an Orthodox Sect Genius" is a flawed but ultimately entertaining read. If you can stomach the protagonist's… unique personality and the heavy harem elements, you might find yourself enjoying the blend of martial arts action, fantasy, and mature themes. It's not a masterpiece, but it definitely provides a unique experience that I would recommend to those who enjoy the genre.
