It's really good. This is definitely a novel written with a clear purpose. It feels like life itself. There aren't many funny or nonsensical jokes, but more of the inescapable troubles and the helplessness of being swept along by the tide of the world. Moreover, you can feel that everyone here has their own story, which is something that is not found in many novels.
The protagonist is honest, straightforward, and doesn't act recklessly—that's what a cultivator should be like, it feels great! This should be considered traditional fantasy, but the system is absolutely unbeatable. Using a cosmological model to depict a fantasy world is something I've never seen before.
Seeing the latest chapter, 349, I was completely stunned! This is a 6.5-Rated novel??? Don't give me that list of bestsellers or masterpieces; that's just hearsay. Seeing this book, I finally feel like I've found a real "novel." What is a vast worldview? What is a unique advancement system? What is imaginative thinking? You can find the answers here!
I still have dozens of chapters to read, and I feel it's necessary to leave a review for those who are planning to start reading. This book currently has over 600,000 words and has been updated almost continuously. The fact that it only has around 2,000 reads isn't without reason.
I read the latest chapter in one go, and at first, I felt there was a lack of substantial content and a lot of system development. But as I continued reading, I suddenly realized, "Hey, this is actually quite interesting!" It's not one of those generic, formulaic novels that just follow the crowd.
To be honest, in this environment where most people are writing mindless, fast-paced fantasy novels to make quick money, it's really commendable that the author can still settle down and write a slow-paced, traditional fantasy novel. As for the book itself, the novel setting is quite engaging and kept me reading.
Coming from the book drought forum, I really didn't expect Tomato to have such a great story. Now that I've read over 230 chapters, all I can say is that traditional fantasy is still alive! This is a unique kind of beautiful writing. It's not about being overly exciting or constantly laughing out loud, but rather about the various ingenious ideas that truly resonate with me.
I think it's alright, might as well take a look.
In my opinion, this book is of much higher quality than many novels rated 9 or higher. Having read over a hundred chapters, I haven't found any major flaws. It's not pretentious, not gory, doesn't torture the protagonist, and the plot isn't a bland, monotonous chronicle. A rating of just over 7 is definitely too low. My intelligence started to decline in the middle, sigh.
After reading 12 chapters, I can't help but want to give you five stars. This is the closest book to "Covering the Sky". The setting is very good, it is very immersive, the design is reasonable, and it is neither exaggerated nor low-IQ. Keep it up, as long as you don't write nonsense, you can expect a 10 out of 10 in the future!
