It's not consistent at all, and that's honestly the most frustrating part. For about three months last year, new chapters dropped almost every other day. Now? Sometimes you're lucky to get one a week. I check my reader app daily out of habit, and half the time it's a re-run of the last chapter or some notification about a live stream event instead of actual story progress.
There's no official schedule pinned anywhere that I've found, which forces you to rely on fan forums for updates. People there often cite the author's weibo for hints about health issues or other projects causing delays. The translation team tries to stick to a 'three times a week' promise, but they're at the mercy of the raw release, so their schedule falls apart too. I've started stockpiling chapters for a month before binging just to avoid the constant disappointment of hitting the 'next chapter' button only to find nothing new.
It's a fantastic story, but the erratic pace makes it hard to stay emotionally invested week-to-week.
More reliably than you'd think, actually. The primary site I use has been posting a translated chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the last four months straight. It's not the lightning pace some machine-translated aggregators claim, but it's steady. I appreciate that consistency—lets me plan my reading around it. The raw releases in China might have pauses, but this particular translation group has a buffer, so their output isn't interrupted unless there's a major hiatus. Friday chapters are the highlight of my week, no lie.
Slowly. Too slowly for my taste. After the last major arc concluded, updates became sporadic. We might get one this week, maybe none next week. I've moved it from my 'daily check' list to my 'check when I remember' list, which is a shame because the world-building is incredible. The official translation site sometimes goes a full ten days without anything new.
I wish I knew. Seriously, if someone has a definitive answer, please share it. My experience is a cycle of feast or famine. You'll get five chapters in seven days, then radio silence for two weeks. I've wondered if it's tied to the author's Patreon or if certain plot sections are harder to write. The lack of a predictable rhythm is why I eventually dropped it for a while; I came back to like 30 new chapters, which was amazing, but then the slow drip started again. It feels less like a scheduled serial and more like the author publishes in bursts when inspiration strikes. Makes it tough to recommend to friends who prefer structure.

Adrian died with fury in his heart, hating the tragic ending of his favorite novel.
The villain deserved better.

Betrayed by everyone he trusted, feared by the entire world, and ultimately destroyed by the plot itself—Cassian Nyx, the infamous Demon Lord, was never meant to be saved.
Until Adrian woke up inside the story.

Just finished the latest raws on WuxiaWorld and went down a rabbit hole comparing access points. If you want a consistent free experience, official translations are tricky for that title—it's locked behind a pretty aggressive paywall on Webnovel after the first thirty chapters. I found an aggregator site with a complete fan-translated version, but the quality dropped off around chapter two hundred, with some real head-scratcher lines.
Honestly, the most reliable method I've settled on is using the Webnovel app for the first arc, then switching to a subscription for a month to binge the parts I really care about. It's a pain, but the fan forums sometimes have downloadable EPUBs of older translations if you know where to look, though those can vanish without warning. I still haven't found a perfect, permanent free source that doesn't feel like a gamble every time the page loads.
I'd probably steer clear of most general-purpose reading apps for something as niche as that. Tried a bunch last year, and the official translations are almost always behind the original webnovel platforms.
You might have better luck checking out the dedicated sites that serialize these cultivation stories directly. A lot of them have decent mobile sites that function like apps. The comment sections are half the fun anyway, seeing other readers freak out about power-ups. The official 'Dragon Master' pages on platforms like Webnovel or NovelFull usually have the most stable updates, even if you hit a paywall after a few dozen chapters.
I ended up just bookmarking the browser version on my phone. It's less polished than an app, but at least I know I'm getting the primary source.
Honestly, the main thing you've got is 'Dragon Master' which is a crazy common title in webnovel spaces. I've clicked into at least three different stories called that on various apps. The one people might be asking about is probably the xianxia or fantasy city-building one by Smiling Proud Wanderer or a similar author? It's a total maze.
If there's an official translation, it'd almost certainly be on Webnovel or maybe Wuxiaworld since they lock down a lot of those licenses. But I checked both a few months back for a friend and didn't see a title exactly matching that in their official catalogs. A bunch of fan-translated chapters float around on aggregate sites, but the quality is usually all over the place, and they rarely finish the whole story. You might find the first fifty chapters cleanly translated before it drops into machine-translation gibberish.
My advice is to search the Chinese title or author name if you can find it; that's the only reliable way to track down an official version. Otherwise, you're in for a frustrating scroll through a dozen dead links.
