REVEREND INSANITY IS PEAK FICTION....
NO ONE CAN DOWN VOTE IN ON MY WATCH...
I WILL PROTECT IT'S DIGNITY EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO...
Needed to balance a certain Fixtion's review cause he review bombed a decent novel. Sue me. Anyway RI is one of the greatest webnovels I've ever read, even though I hate the MC to my very bones, he's really well written.
Edit: Now that the review bombing is being dealt with, here's a proper review, RI has one of the best interpretations of a selfish and evil protag, he made an attempt to have some morality and got backstabbed because of it. Personally didn't like it cause achieving higher plane of existence didn't seem like a valid reason(living for 1000s of years seem boring) to commit all the atrocities that he did, I like my antagonists/evil protagonists to have a reason that I can relate with. The villains and the world building was chef's kiss.
You'll like RI if you want a genuinely evil protagonist, a unique taste to webnovels compared to the other big 5 webnovels. But personally for me it's a 4-4.5
I got lost hiking up a mountain, and I saw a shepherd. I asked him "How far up are we? He answered ("Reverend Insanity") That's how I realized, I already knew the answer. We were at the peak. I heard he commits genocide and boils kids but don't know if that's true so I'll bring it to a 4/5. But people are review bombing sorry. So I'll bring it to a 5.
10/10.
There is no novel, manhwa, manhua, manga, anime, or any other piece of fiction that can compare to Reverend Insanity. This was the first novel I ever read, and even after going through many others since, none have come close to matching its brilliance.
The storytelling is masterful, the world building is deep and intricate, and the main character is unlike any other in fiction. It doesn’t follow the usual tropes. it breaks them and sets a new standard entirely.
Reverend Insanity is truly one of a kind. A masterpiece through and through.
Easily a 10/10.

It is the Best of the Best, if you ever find yourself feeling lost, without a goal, if you think you lost your drive to continue forward, give this novel a read, capture the message behind it, behind Ren Zu stories, behind the hardships, this novel made me change so much i can't even begin to describe it.
PEAK 🔥🔥🔥
Fang Yuan, the main character, has no emotions, no growth, and no humanity.
He doesn’t change, he doesn’t care, and he definitely doesn’t connect with anyone.
He’s not clever — he’s just lucky and heartless. Watching him win again and again gets old fast.
The plot is the same every arc:
Scheme → Betray → Kill → Power up → Repeat.
No suspense, no surprises — just the same cycle on loop with slightly different scenery.
Supporting characters? Useless. Disposable. Don’t get attached — they either die, betray him, or vanish like they never existed.
Relationships mean nothing. There’s no romance, no friendship, no emotional payoff of any kind.
Half the story is spent inside Fang Yuan’s head, explaining why everyone else is dumb and why he’s the smartest guy in the room.
The only way someone could like ts is if they're either deranged or a 13-year-old deep in their chuunibyou phase.
🌌 Reverend Insanity: The Peak of Cultivation Fiction. Nothing Comes Close.
Reverend Insanity is not just a novel. It is a literary black hole — a gravitational force of genius so dense, no other xianxia can escape its pull. While most cultivation novels are content to sling tropes and recycle power-ups like Pokémon evolutions, Reverend Insanity dismantles the genre, reconstructs it, then sets it on fire while laughing like a madman — and you, dear reader, are along for the ride.
🧠 Main Character? No. Main MENACE.
Fang Yuan is not your average underdog or your tragic antihero. He is a thousand-year-old scheming monster in the body of a teenager, and every chapter is a masterclass in cold-blooded ambition. He doesn’t "face challenges" — he orchestrates chaos, weaponizes everyone’s weaknesses, and plays five-dimensional chess while the rest of the world is stuck on checkers.
He is unapologetically evil, ruthlessly pragmatic, and yet so brilliantly written that you’ll find yourself rooting for a literal villain like he’s your favorite sports team. Morality? Out the window. Empathy? Buried. It’s not about redemption — it’s about domination, and Fang Yuan excels.
🌀 The Worldbuilding? Absurdly Deep.
The cultivation system isn't just some slapped-together Qi nonsense. We're talking about:
Thousands of Gu insects, each with its own logic and use.
Entire systems of ranking, evolution, refinement, and combat strategy that read like a 4D chess manual written by Sun Tzu on ayahuasca.
A history that spans eras, heavens, and time itself — all interconnected in a maddeningly brilliant web of schemes, betrayals, and karmic retribution.
Reading Reverend Insanity is like reading a living, breathing universe that punishes you for underestimating it. It’s not just complex. It’s divinely engineered chaos.
💥 Plot Twists That Will Ruin You
No one is safe. No arc is filler. No twist is predictable. Fang Yuan will outwit gods, reverse causality, and slap destiny in the face, and you’ll sit there with your jaw on the floor, whispering, “This madman really did that.”
If you're tired of:
Dumb cultivation clichés
Brain-dead MCs collecting harems like Pokémon
Plot armor so thick it might as well be vibranium
Then _Reverend Insanity will feel like drinking holy water after years in the wasteland. It respects your intelligence. It dares you to keep up. And when you do, it rewards you with mind-melting payoffs that make 900 chapters feel like a speedrun through narrative ecstasy.
---
TL;DR:
Reverend Insanity is GOATed beyond repair. It doesn’t just raise the bar for cultivation novels — it obliterates the concept of the bar entirely, and leaves you spiritually unprepared for whatever bland nonsense you try to read next.
10/10
Definitely didn't use chatgpt on this, promise...
