Reverend Insanity

Fellow reader friend, is your life boring? Are you tired of the same everyday life? Are you tired of feeling like a failure, of feeling like you're not enough or feeling like life could have been more? Are you looking for a little spark to brighten that life of yours?

Well look no longer, I present to you, the greatest novel ever written : Reverend insanity

What is it you might ask?

I say to you, it is beyond your imagination, it is everything you have looked for, everything that you wanted but couldn't pinpoint

Reverend insanity is a novel of 2334 chapters, long enough to sustain you for months, It is the story of Fang Yuan, a demonic cultivator who after living 500 years of life realised that everything in life is impermanent and meaningless and thus set his sights on the highest possible goal : eternal life

Fang Yuan after living 500 years and experiencing the vicissitudes of life sees that only by living true to himself and pursuing the beyond could he have lived a life worth living

Through countless efforts and killing countless people, he refines the spring autumn cicada, an artifact that allows him to return in time, however right after he is cornered and near death thus left with no choice but to activate it and repeat his life anew

He swears that this time, this lifetime will be where he achieves eternal life

What can I tell you my friend?

The absolute struggle, the sufferings, the blood, the tears, the killings, Life at its absolutes here is shown

Fang yuan's spirit, his dark personality, his struggles, his life, his resolutions, his hatred, his ruthlesness to others and especially to himself, his slight smile

Pursuit of the Infinite! Eternal life is his goal, the world his stage, you the one along for the ride

this is not a book for enjoyment, if you go on the ride, you are resolute in pursuing whatever it takes to attain the Infinite, stepping on corpses, betraying friends and enemies, returning in time, fighting to the death and dying repeatedly

He will not give up! this guy is a mad man, an absolute devil, whatever it takes, he will pay it full price upfront!

Wisdom is sown everywhere in this novel, the spirit of humanity, resistance and fighting for the beyond, fighting both against the Heavens, Fate and everything human

the main struggle in the novel is against Fate and fighting its shackles

if you do not feel Absolute Excitment, adrenaline flowing through your veins in everyone of its chapters, you are reading wrong

Reverend insanity is a Journey of Transcendence, exploring the beyond, overcoming the odds, rebelling against the rules of the world and pursuing one's goal of Eternal Life

Facing the entire world with no hope of success, facing all the challenges of reality yet overcoming them with Sheer fucking Will!

A Character so Transcendental, so Mighty, so Supreme, that the mere utterance of his name sends shivers up your spine

Cornered from all sides, completely exhausted, weak and near death, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly

Hopeless, in absolute despair, surrounded by enemies from all sides, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly!

Against the Heavens, Against Heavenly court, Against his enemies, Fang yuan still marches forward relentlessly!

A Journey to the Beyond! this world is too small for people who look for the beyond, if you don't have that fire in your soul while and after reading this novel, you are reading it wrong

were you wronged in your past? have you suffered? have you cried in the deepest part of the night?

well, cry no longer, enter here and kill everything that has made you suffer, pursue the infinite and take revenge on all your enemies, your goal Eternal Life, your enemy, the Heavens, Fate and the entire world

returning in time, dying, suffering, cruelty, darkness, hell itself, yet who are you, you are Fang Yuan, the world is too small to contain you, you are a raging inferno ready to conquer everything, whatever it takes!

If you still want to live after this, something must be wrong with you, this has shown the absolute fire that Life is, I've lived through everything in it, put myself in it, was thrown everywhere

What can I tell you my friend?

This novel is a piece of art, its a masterpiece bestowed on humanity

This Novel will give you the Will to live, the will to say f*ck you to the entire world and to live your own life regardless of what anyone says and help you build the resolve to tread your own path or die trying

I was a Neet when I read it and now years after, I've read dozens of the best novels , both chinese and normal and I have yet to find something that impacted as much as this novel did

The enemies in this novel are something else, everyone is shrewd, scheming, ruthless, everything is painted under dark shades of grey, there is no righteousness, no help me and I help you

In this novel, there is no friendship, no companionship, there is only Fang Yuan alone against the entire world trying to f*ck him over

Only something this extreme can give you the will to live!

Fang yuan is ruthless, torturing people, stealing, scheming, making others suffer, he is resolute, he doesn't back down nor does give up in despair

If someone suicidal came to me, all I would tell him was read this and see if you can die!

Fang Yuan has heart, he is also someone who was once weak, who lived through things and his poems elicit deep emotions in the readers making them understand him and love him despite all his cruel deeds that they do not agree with

"Ambitious mountains with steps firm as steel, taking large strides with unwavering determination. Taking risks to obtain the essence of the universe, my heart still seeks to rise beyond heaven."

"In this world, no one is capable of ending my ambitions, only a coward and defeated person will look for excuses, even if I shed tears and snot ooze from me, I will keep climbing the mountain, for that is the joy of life. Persevere and achieve great feats, either that or accept death."

How much would I rate this novel?

10 outta 10. I swear to god, this will make your heart flinch, cry, break, and sweat. you will probably need a doctor while you read this because I KNOW you cant, and you will not sleep. This novel haunts you in your dreams. Your depression? Gone. The moment you wake up, your inner monologue would be "Fang yuan! that Madman!" You probably never read anything with such philosophy and way of life that you see yourself slowly admiring him

This novel gives you a reason why being a NEET, no job, without friends, and being rich is the greatest dream of all time. Reading this novel will make you work harder and try harder in life. Actually, you'll like the main character so much that if you think you're too lazy to do something, you'd be thinking "i challenge myself cause i aint no p*ssy" after reading this. Read this. Like right now.

This is easily one of the best webnovels of all time. Fang Yuan is my favorite protagonist ever and also this was my forst novel . He’s cold, calculated, and completely unrepentant—but he’s also insanely smart and philosophical in a way that just hits. His monologues are god-tier, and those poems? Absolute peak.

This is truly a unique book. When I first interacted with it, I was simply looking for better fiction. But now after reading RI, it feels much more than mere literature, something that leaves a mark on you for the rest of your life.

The rights ->

 ✅️An evil protagonist that's done right, without coming off as edgy, cringe or attention- seeking.

✅️Side characters who have actually have depth.

✅️Lack of any forced romance with Fangy.

✅️Extremely detailed world building and history.

✅️A power system that is well rounded and is throughly explained.

 ✅️Doesn't hold back on making things difficult for Fangy.

 ✅️Doesn't hold back on gore.

The balance -> 

☯️The world building may get lengthy at times.

☯️Some arcs feel stretched more than they should have. 

☯️The occasional gore and cruelty may be too much for the ones new to it.

The wrongs ->

❌️Ironically, despite having some of the best SC's, their handling isn't always the best.

❌️I didn't like how BNB's potential was wasted for the majority of the book.

finished this novel years ago and it has always been one of my favorites webnovels, easily in the top 5. there is just something incredibly fun and refreshing about reading the journey of this enlightened psychopath, fang yuan.

he is someone who would be considered vile and evil by almost any moral standard, yet he is still a very charming and charsmatic character, he is unapologetic and very true to himself, he is self aware and won't try to convince himself that his actions are right, only necessary, or even convenient. he has lost all sense of compassion during the 500 years he spent roaming the gu world in his previous life, yet he still grasps human nature well enough to use compassion as a tool when needed. 

as long as you try to read this novel with an open mind, don't insist on finding everything mc does agreeable, and as long as you try to see things without the lense of normalcy, i think you will enjoy it. i glazed fang yuan a lot but really he is not alone in his tunnel visioned insanity, nor is he the only interesting character in the book, far from it. there are many amazing side characters, the dialogues are nice and well written, and the world feels alive. there is deep philosophy that's conveyed from the pov of the characters, so you can still enjoy the food for thought without feeling the book is trying to push an agenda. unless you really don't like an evil main character, i'd suggest that you give this novel a try.

Reverend Insanity is a bold departure from traditional xianxia tropes, weaving a grim tapestry of power, survival, and unforgiving ambition. The protagonist Fang Yuan is an immortal villain whose ruthless intellect and moral ambiguity drive the narrative forward. Gu beasts, Gu techniques, and the complex Guconomy create an immersive, perilous world where strategy trumps strength. The novel excels in its cerebral battles and political intrigue, offering satisfying twists and betrayals at every turn. Its prose is direct and efficient, though occasionally verbose during detailed explanations. Themes of existentialism and the cost of immortality linger long after reading. While the absence of a conventional hero may unsettle some readers, Reverend Insanity’s dark atmosphere and philosophical depth make it a standout in fantasy. A thought-provoking saga for those craving morally complex storytelling. Its chilling realism and unapologetic darkness elevate it above peers

This is peak fiction..

It has its own manhwa now.. with Goated art..

The best fan made manhwa of all time..

Go read it.

It already has 2 chapter 

this novel is racist, it ate my dog and my cat and then killed my grandmother. also the community is a*s and full of edgy teenagers that will dislike bomb this comment with 20000 alt accounts on this website because the moderation is a filipino kid that has to juggle feeding 100 mouths, fighting a war (probably idk what filipinos do) and fighting off bears.

Just not a fan of evil mcs normally would be a 4 for me but since it got review bombed I'll give it a 4.5. I dropped it at ch. 90. I'll try reading it again after reading RTOC. (Reviews got deleted so I'll put it to 4 now)

This is the peak novel I have ever read in my entire life. I have read all top 3 novels and into SS 200 chapters in and it is also good for me but I have RI as the main novel in my heart until I die. I will preserve myself until it gets unbanned
