Fang Yuan is one of the greatest protagonist in fiction, the writing and the complexity of his character is insane 😊

RI is my bible. I am reading the webnovel again for the second time. This is the only novel that forces me to stop and think (for hours at a time) after nearly every single chapter. The author is a god and RI is unique and incomparable to any of the other works you might have experienced. The only negative thing about RI is that once you have read it, you can't help but notice how lackluster all the other worlds/universes are. I understand that Solo Leveling is popular but it is a joke when you compare to RI. The Dune universe (including the Butlerian Jihad), The TLOTR MiddleEarth and The 3 Body Problem universe felt empty when I compare to a single Gu world. The wicked and scheming Lannisters in AGOT are saints and middling fools, when you compare them to Fang Yuan. When people talk about something as being "epic", I usually scoff in my mind, knowing that they have never truly experienced the magnificence, grandeur and brilliance that is RI.

**May contain SPOILERS** My take on Reverend Insanity is that it is one of the best written light novels out there, coming from someone who has read many of them, including the reincarnation, revenge, and cultivation genres. What makes RI so different isn't just Fang Yuan, but rather every single character in there, their motives, their goals and their reactions. Many times, once a main character gains a following, or a friend group, those people would defend the MC through thick and thin, they might even abandon their goals just to help the MC succeed. But with RI its different. The characters you thought where his friends betray him, and so does he. Not once do the characters ever stop to try and achieve their motives, no matter what side they are, be it demonic, righteous or lone. The characters are flawed, they're dynamic, and they're also fleshed out. They each have their goals and wishes, like Bai Ning Bing, who never once stopped trying to fight for an exciting life, even after Fang Yuan gained extraordinary strength, or Red Lotus DV, who, after receiving Fang Yuan's help, still plotted against him. The characters have the ability to go against Fang Yuan and defeat him. The author is not scared to show Fang Yuan as weak when he is weak and he does not stint on making Fang Yuan fail. Another thing I like about RI is that it doesn't blindly show characters in a black and white scope. Yes, the main character is a villain and a "demon", but he has not truly lost his rationality or his emotions, he is just one who acts towards what benifit's him the most, so are the other characters, albeit their methods of approach being different. There are many times Fang Yuan helps the righteous path, as much as how they also help him. The characters aren't also perfect, as there are MANY flawed characters, who infuriate me (Duke Long). The author perfectly shows the difference in powers, mentality, and will. The characters are stubborn, or understanding, or disagreeing, they don't bend to the main characters will, that doesn't make them evil, but that doesn't make them nice either. The characters have the ability to pick and chose and be characters/personality first and characterization later. Emotions aren't shown as a weakness, and the characters have the ability to perform as they wish. Another thing that I absolutely adore about RI is how they treat the female characters (which are many). The characters are treated as humans, to the point where you don't even focus on their gender throughout the book (except Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan (during the first half)). They aren't just limited to their attachment to the main character, as they have their own goals and wishes. Plus the Gu world is non-discriminatory (to humans) for the most part. Plus I haven't been able to make a single prediction towards the plot, the climax was genuinely interesting in every arc and the build up was beautiful(the Northern Plains to Zombie Arc's might be a bit long, but they are worth it). One more thing I love about the book is at first, I thought it wasn't going to appear much in the later parts of the story, but it proved me wrong. The legends themselves are very profound, holding deep meaning. All in all, I have much to say, but this is enough for now, RI is my top 1, from anything ever. Long Live Lord Fang Yuan

Haha, great video. I read the manhwa long ago, when chapters were still coming out and was impressed. Now, i just finished Lord of The Mysteries and wanted to take a break before starting COI. I watched vids on TT of Reverend Insanity and thought i would give it a chance. I can tell you in all honesty, best decision ever!!! Am currently at chapter 288. PS: I started reading from the beginning. Love your videos, man. Keep it up. Finally a start to this awesome community.

Read Kingdom Bloodline and you will thank me , second best novel after reverend insanity and in same level with LOM

Honestly the only type of people that won't like Reverend insanity are those that hate villain protagonists 😂😂

The difference between fang yuan and other villains is that fang yuan isn't necessarily gonna kill you for example he may use you for your value and then discard you but that doesn't mean that he isn't a proper villain as he has quite literally no bottom line as long as it benefits his goals he will do anything and everything

Just finished LOTM and heard people say that this can actually be good as it so i am gonna try start reading it!

Brother make this shit popular its one of the best

One of the few youtubers who are making Reverend Insanity known to people. great job, need even more RI posts..... Here are my thoughts on Reverend Insanity: The thing about fang yuan(MC) is that he is not truely evil. YES in contrast to our society the things he does are truly evil, but in their world killing is just ANOTHER WAY. fang yuan does not un-intentionally kill or harm anyone. he only does thing things that will help him achieve his goals faster and he will not discriminate againist anything either killing or not killing, killing a pig or killing a human are same in his prespective. all things are equal for him. I watched over 400+ animes,50+donghuas,150+manhwa/manhua but RI is different form all those.Reverend Insanity is my first novel and it is like a bible to me. The characters, philosophy, action, world building, and every thing else stand out from typical regression stories. One more thing i like about RI is that it has a book called "Legends of Renzu" which is like a bible in that world, the world building and story takes it as a foundation to elevate readers experience. In RI there are many characters that can have there own story as a novel, there are many capable individuals and fang yuan is one of them. He strrugles between life and death while competing with others for one single goal - IMMORTALITY. Fang yuans perseverence is unmatchable I would recommend everyone to give it a try, u wont regret picking it up...... ALL HAIL GREAT LOVE IMMORTAL VENERABLE!!!!!!

Cane from tiktok i like ur concept cuz im a reader too of Ri and Lotm

The only story that can give Reverend insanity a run for it's money is lord of mysteries, other than that, nothing else comes close to Reverend insanity, fingers crossed it will still get an anime👀

I Am the Fated Villain is another great villain story only 140ish chapters rn. Another great one is Revenge of the Mad demon its so fucking good. Nano machine is great too and all of the authors related works are good too.

I rank ri in the top of my list. I read several several books traditional novels, wn. (Spend around 7- 12 hrs daily on audiobooks.) Nothing even come close to RI.

3:40 As a member of the "Heaven And Earth Great Love Alliance" the slander of Great Love Immortal Venerable will not be taken lightly. Be prepared to face consequences you Heavenly Curt propagandist

*Little SPOILER* Sadly, Fang Yuan's venerable name won't be Scheming Scoundrel Demon Venerable 😔.

I completely agree to what you said for anime readers who wish to go to manga/novels, but describing Fang Yuan as simply a villain is criminal. Yes, he is definitely a villain through and through but he is more than that, his extreme perseverance to achieve eternal life whilst being unbound from moral and emotional constraints creates a path of benefits. The story builds Fang Yuan's character by delving into his past, from the start to the end his character remains fundamentally the same. His brother Fang Zheng is actually a form of representation of Fang Yuan's first life in the Gu world, Fang Yuan's attitude to life transforms into what we see now is the result of 500 years of pain, struggles and determination. Fang Yuan does not rationalize being unable to achieve his goal or not, if he does not achieve his goal that is his fault this shows his extreme harshness on others and himself. He would rather die reaching towards the sky than to be ordinary. Fun fact: Gu Yue Fang Yuan means "Gu goes beyond rules and regulations" Source: reddit PS: what chapter are you on when making this video, and now?

He is not evil, Great Love is truly magnanimous

I see Reverend Insanity content, I click. A modern masterpiece imo. They should read this book in schools instead of Catcher In the Rye jk. The two things I like the most about the book is that there really aren't any plot-holes or "useless" background characters. The author will setup seemingly pointless, unexplained, or off-hand information that will play a part in the grand scheme of the book later on or hint at the progression of other factions in the world that lead to actions that influence the MC. Side characters are actually well thought out and represent "people" rather than cardboard cutouts. Alot of times the side characters will make very intelligent decisions based on context and/or thought out plans of action, rather than random "face slapping" scenes in other Manhua. I will say a more succinct explanation of gu would be: "Gu are basically tiny fragments of the 'Dao' laws of the 'Gu world' represented in the form of magical insects, and are utilized in all paths of cultivation. Instead of innate treasures or powerful cultivation techniques you store and use gu within your body and combine their powers in 'Killer moves' to achieve an infinite variety of effects. At low levels of cultivation, there are an infinite variety of gu to represent the infinite small fragments of the 'Dao'. At higher cultivation levels, there is a finite variety of gu because they now represent pieces of a puzzle, that when put together will make up an entire cultivation law (like water, wind, fire, etc.). They become that much more powerful in exchange for their scarcity."

I have been reading RI and it’s so peak. I finished Vol 2 and wanted to re read it to grasp more things

Well fang yuan is goal orientated he will become saint or do worse than judge holden if it benefits him he can do anything, i mean anything, and what's back that is his god level writing and novel of him easily one of the best in fiction and additionally he can also solos all smart charcter. He and the reverend insanity is truly deserve of the goat. And it's so rare to see someone ❤ covering RI it's damn underated .

But i today i am gonna share one of my favoutite novel to you. Name-"I hate system" Pretty original. 1)Has unique power sysyems not one 2)Has multiple worlds..we got a unique worlds among them there are appoclytic world cultivation world magic world and other worlds...You will read and find out. 3)A scheaming Mc not exactly evil but will do anything for his daughte rs safety 4) an interesting history between systems and other genres..

What is your favorite arc in the novel

2:51 yeah okay, but is it really that necessary?

Is it really that good? not the courting for death type oh shi..

He wasn’t a normal human and got transported into the gu world or anything, he was a normal guy in the gu world, lived 300 years trying to live and 200 years wondering around the world and ended up making the spring autumn cicada And the manhua got only to chapter 128 not 115, most of your informations aren’t accurate and your talk about the story won’t make anyone read it
