Chen Li works at Mo city, he works there every day with no hope to be seen for the future… until one night. Chen Li obtains a special ability, an ability to buy “Time” and “Lifespan” from people, sell “Time” and “Lifespan” and also let things speed up “Time leap” and slow down “exhaustion time”. So he begins to build a top-class “Lifespan club”!
2nd Manhua Review
Plot 9.1/10 (Simple bro has time powers in a nutshell)
Uniqueness 9.7/10
Onion Cutting Ninja, Just stop enough is enough
Character Development 9.3/10 (Very Slightly, but if you pay attention to detail you see it)
Side Characters, 8.5/10 (Some get left behind, and others are solid and stick around)
Romance, uhhhh like very small bit and I don’t even know if it counts as romance so no for the most part
Art Style, 8.1/10 Actually Really consistent art (its not like top-notch, but its not bad either)
Fit tags? eventually Sci-fi will fit with all the tech advancements
Violence, its sprinkled around
Comedy, it has some good moments
MC 9.4/10 (Solid Business Man)
Villians, this is a complicated question, but they are all pretty disgusting for the most part
Plot Armor, its kinda already stated how powerful he is in the beginning so not really
Memorability N/A
Fights, N/A (we do have a few but this isn’t really a super fighty manhua)
Time Travel, Yes
Waifus, we have some options here and there
Background art style, hard to say for me
Character Art Style, Fine
translation, Actually Pretty good for the most part
How dark is it? 1/5
Tips: Does have some Nationalism (Chinese Nationalism) (Ironically the novel got banned in China because MC was more powerful then the Chinese government XD)
Pacing, Acceptable for the most part
MC Intellectual, The brain is firing on the cylinders that are needed
Philosophical Depth, It has its moments
Survival Difficulty- this is depending on who you are it can range from low to if you die its a skill issue depending on your relationship with the MC (Are you a genius or somehow valuable to the operation)
(NEW) Plot twists, this has a fair bit of unexpected plot twists ngl
Approximate read time: no lifers 2-4 days, Lifers 1-4 Weeks
Chapter Finished at-295
Final Ranking 9.1/10 Tier System A-

Shameless plug-in
I have an insta with all my reviews if you want to check it out (63 Manhwa Reviews/ 2 novels/ 2 Mangas/ 1 Re-review) (thecriticalreviewer77)
Mao Zedong is our red sun 
One of the Few Best Chinese Manhuas out there. I’m honestly shocked at how good this is actually. Very addictive . I find no errors. The Pacing, The World Building, The Explanation of the Power of the Main Character and so on. 9/10 is my rating for this. I can only compare this to “My Disciple’s are all big Villains” due to how consistently good the Art and Pacing and Story and Translations are. But, there’s a problem. Or problem’s that prevent me from giving it a complete 10/10. It suffers from the same problem as Korean Manhwas, Nationalism. Cringe Nationalism that only Chinese People could get behind. Anyone else who isn’t Chinese would feel alienated. Let me give a clear example, “Chinese Government v Vatican Catholic Church”, in the beginning, and throughout the whole story, it had the Perfect Villain that would make sense in opposing MC and his “Eternal Organization”, and would allow for a “Reverse Underdog v Pack” situation. Normally in Stories, we follow an Single Main Character who’s opposing a Larger Organization with some kind of Charismatic Evil Leader, Take the Manhwa “The Genius Assassin Takes It All”, but here? We follow the “Charismatic Evil and Powerful Leader”. When the Main Character killed that Loan Shark Fatso, his Brother could’ve fulfilled a larger purpose in the fight for Earth’s And Humankind’s Future, along with the Chinese Government. I continued reading hoping for MC to face some kind of Adversary and Rival, cuz everything was going too good for MC without much problems and conflict. Heck, in the later Chapters he was able to pacify a Subterranean Kingdom, he already has the power of a Small Nation. And as he begins to recruit more and more people from the past and present, and maybe the future as his Time Grows. He’ll become unstoppable. The Chinese Government Police and Military would’ve made the Perfect Opposition. But no, throughout the whole story it never even names Countries, aside from one. The Vatican. And it was a bad and poor portrayal as well, since the whole “Galileo Galilei was Persecuted because the Vatican didn’t like their Authority Challenged” is a misconception that people still believe Saddeningly. This Manhwa can blatantly criticize and show in a poor way things like Japan and their Yakuzas, but never the Chinese Government, and especially the Chinese Police and Military that was one of the first who actually went against him and had a chance. They would’ve been intriguing villains. Heck, there’s even a very dumb, inaccurate and hilarious statement made by the Main Character saying China is safer than the US. 😑 Bruh, way to Bootlick for the CCP. After that the Chinese Government Opposition never made a reappearance. Author and their story don’t want to end up like “The Master of Gu” it seems. Get banned and cracked down upon just for showing “Individualism, Opposing Authority and Criticizing Propaganda” huh?
this is one of those mangas that changes the reader
I’ve read many manhua.. Most of them were vanilla type.. Girls throwing themselves over mc.. Reincarnation, system and those wu xia world, cultivation type manhua are straight cowsh*t..
After Magic Emperor and Reverend Insanity this is something tasty.. Might as well consider Lord spare my life..
Also, there’s a manhua of lotm.. It is an absolute insult..
Maybe the creators don’t get enough freedom or government’s censorship is really that tight..
But, still…!
How can the people there be satisfied with all the baseless,cringe and cliche..
If there are more hidden gems like this please recommend me.. 🙏
I read until ch 90.
This manhwa initially presents intriguing plots and adept storytelling. However, it becomes somewhat peculiar when the narrative, centered around advanced science, contains plot holes regarding the science itself. It’s as if the author lacks research or isn’t personally invested in the scientific aspects. Whenever science is involved, it consistently falls short, highlighting a noticeable gap in understanding or interest from the author’s side.
While I appreciate its storytelling, finding it decent, the arc and its plot are too linear, overly predictable, and repetitive if you could read its pattern. Moreover, the absence of plot twists makes the narrative feel so bland and monotonous.
The characters’ stories and development are exceedingly simplistic, primarily serving the story’s core necessities. The author invests more in the “Lifespan Club,” which is the title itself. Initially, I anticipated a sprinkle of romance, especially due to the MC’s roommate, but alas, nope.
As for the artwork and its details, they are adequate. It’s simple and not overly extravagant, with nothing significant to complain about.
Story…… 7/10
Detailing… 2/10
Plot… 5/10
Char build.. 3/10
Art…. 5/10
Despite having a genuinely intriguing story, this work suffers from numerous plot holes and inconsistencies. Additionally, its plot and storylines are repetitive and predictable, no plot twists or surprise elements. However, I still recommend giving it a read solely for its quite interesting story alone.
I caught up. Ok future me I left at 274.
9.1/10, it’s amazing. Despite the yap by other comments, there are actually not very many plot holes if you don’t skim. MC is not in fact a terrible person, but isn’t a good person. He’s fair. Although there are times he seems bad, they are rare. More than often he is fair.
Now, that’s not mentioning the absolute peak almost the entire story is. Absolutely amazing, believe me. I binge read the entire series. One thing you might notice is that character in cover looks nothing like MC… yeah no clue on that. Oh, and yes, the most recent arc (240 to 273+) is not great, but it isn’t bad.
People saying its bad are just mad there is a series that is better than their favorite or just mad that there aren’t constant fights where the MC is OP as heck (not that he isn’t) because they have the attention span of a kindergartener after watching TikTok and YT Shorts and Instagram Reels all day. So yeah. Read it.
Ranking System:
11: My favorite manga/manhwa of all time, forever.
10: Stop. Read. Now.
9: An outstanding performance in every single category, and more.
8: A work of art that perhaps is not fully fleshed out, but pretty close.
7: Very good, and definitely give it a read when possible.
6: Fun, engaging, but nothing special.
5: Decent, but somewhat boring. I liked it, but you might not.
4: Questionable, but I won’t tell you not to read it.
3: I definitely wouldn’t recommend you read this, but it could be worse.
2: It couldn’t be worse.
1: At this point, why bother?
0: Avoid at all possible costs. Read at your own risk.
Massive plot holes and inconsistencies. MC is a terrible person, commits genocide for petty reasons. The same people that rate this highly probably rate ‘Confinement King’ as high too. Remember that the majority of people read at a 5th grade level, so all the people praising this as a masterpiece are people that cannot read beyond that.
Masterpiece
This is seriously amazing. I didn’t realize I spent all day reading 272 chapters, but it was seriously worth it. I will likely re-read it again soon, the character growth is fantastic and it has a dark undertone. The only thing I didn’t really care for was that one character is introduced and shown quite a few times, but then never shown again after like chapter 20 or 30 or something. But other than that, it’s amazing and I can’t wait for more.
great manga just didnt like the
D
Pretty sure Justin Timberlake was in this movie
“In Time”
This is the most unique manhwa that I have ever read!!!
