I Want a Satisfying Read, But Not Something Brain-Dead
I want an enjoyable power fantasy, but it's frustrating when there are too many brainless ones. People say you don't need to think when reading this kind of story, but does that really mean you won't care about anything? (Don't argue, just say you agree.)

I really like it; it's quite well-written. However, something feels off. I think it's somewhat detached from reality. Keep it up, update more!
The article is excellent. After reading so many stories about sons-in-law, miracle doctors, immortal farmers, and kings of soldiers, reading this down-to-earth article is like a breath of fresh air. Thumbs up to the author for not following the crowd!
This is an incredibly captivating book! I was completely engrossed, deeply immersed, and full of positive energy. Our lives are filled with so many negative influences, but reading a book like this, experiencing other people's different lives, makes me feel that life is worthwhile. We too can create our own happiness in our own world. I hope the author updates frequently.
Overall, the plot is well-structured, and the characters' personalities and work styles are well-written. It's clear the author has a broad and rich knowledge base. The villains are ruthless, and the good guys are kind enough. What I didn't like was the excessive romantic subplot for the male lead.
Having read online novels for seventeen years, this is the only one that truly captures the essence of life; it's incredibly down-to-earth. Ancient martial arts, immortal cultivation, divine doctors, and the ability to fly and traverse the earth—all these elements, from overwhelming mountains and seas to plunging into the dead, are presented with effortless ease, making the story increasingly fantastical.
The author has returned! Overall, it's good, and the plot is sound! Old and new grudges must be settled, especially given the male protagonist's intelligence. Happy holidays, author! Keep it up and bring more exciting content to your fans, haha 😄
This is a novel with a strong emotional core. Let's do a poll: those who hope the male protagonist and his ex-wife will reconcile, please give it a thumbs up!
A very realistic social backdrop. I'll keep watching. There's so much I don't know yet. I'm really looking forward to it.
It's well-written, with a winding plot and delicate emotional descriptions. However, I wonder how the author will continue writing such a complex storyline. Hopefully, it won't be too heart-wrenching! May good people have good endings, and may bad people go to hell.
The writing style is detailed, the plot is tight, and the logic is rigorous. It truly tests one's skill; it requires writing technique, the ability to withstand solitude, social experience, constant self-reflection, and continuous learning—all of which are challenges. Clearly, the author has succeeded.
