The AFK Farming Software: I Became Invincible Without Knowing It挂机软件：我不知不觉就无敌了

Writing my review as of completing all 478 chapters

My overall rating for the novel is 'bad.' but that shouldn't tell you anything, so I'll wind up my explanation and you decide for yourself if you want to read that novel or pass.

So, 'The AFK Farming Software: I Became Invincible Without Knowing It,' huh? The second part is a total clickbait, and we both know it. And while yes, canonically his cheat is indeed called The AFK Farming Software, technically it has nothing to do with either software, or afk farming.

WRITING... is abysmal. Author ran out of things to write pretty quickly, so he filled the rest with 'very good', 'not bad', unnecessary predictions from side characters and trash talking MC's strength, and inevitable copy/paste about how surprised they are that MC is actually not weak.
It is a weak-to-strong type story... 3 FREACKING TIMES. MC starts as a mortal, becomes strongest in the world, ascends, he's now weak again, becomes strong again... and then it turns out there's a heaven above the heaven... bleurgh.

Transmigration itself is mediocre. We never got the answers to the classic questions: why he transmigrated, why him exactly, why he transmigrated in this exact person, why he got the cheat and why the cheat is exactly the way it is.

THE CHEAT. The AFK Farming Software... is complete dogshit. While it seems like a great and unique idea at the start, later it rolls down to just being item duping machine with some flavor to it, occasional injections of cultivation and some item upgrades, which are, quite frankly, irrelevant.

CHARACTERS. While initially, we see a lot of different and unique characters and bring up our hopes for them, very soon we encounter the harsh reality of author not caring a tad bit about them.
The MC also receives very little love from author, not getting any development excluding the initial one, to get him up to speed. Also, don't get attached to his pets, it's not worth it. Double also, MC seems to be eunuch, considering he never even thought about Dao companions.

Techniques: poorly written, often not clear what exactly they do, too many to keep track of, and of course, he never used even 1% of the total techniques he learned. It clearly feels that all techniques are written so that author could make MC pull any bullshit card out of his ass at any desirable moment.

And there's the ending... all the way story seems to be about the destination and not the friends we made along the way, but... I don't even have the words for it, I'll just tell you what I wish someone told me:

Open up the last chapter, scroll to the very bottom of it, and excluding "(The End!)", read the last five lines, they're neatly only take half the line. And then ask yourself: "is it worth it?"

Somewhat entertaining for the first 200 - 250 chapters. Then the writing quality drops from mediocre to plain bad.

Also don’t get fooled by the fast cultivation tag. MC cultivates extremely slowly. Due to his cheat allowing him to cultivate too fast, the author at some point decided to just nerf his cultivation speed by introducing “great dao” techniques which only mc can realistically cultivate. The only problem is that they are too slow. In the beginning it’s just a few hundred years for a single minor realm. But then it becomes thousands, ten thousands and even million for a god damn minor realm. His power also doesn’t seem to be invincible. He can fight may be 2 to 3 realms above him. If he selected any other normal techniques he would have increased his cultivation to probably the highest in the world in much shorter period and he would be just as strong.
