It's good. It's nice to change things up and read this genre. I'm tired of those protagonists who only know how to be reckless. I don't understand why you dislike this book and are so hostile towards it. If you don't like it, just don't like it. Everyone has different characters. Do you expect me to imitate other people's plots to make it appealing to you?
It's so good! Actually, the real protagonist is the restaurant; the synopsis is misleading. The restaurant exists to suppress the "protagonist." I hope the author can write more about the protagonist; his role is too small. [Think about it carefully]
Well written!!! I especially love the line, "Women only slow down your sword-drawing speed!!!" They're immortal, why do they need women? If they have ideas, why not just visit some brothels? The protagonist's personality would be even stronger!!! I rarely write comments! It's not well-written! But these are my honest thoughts!!! Author, keep up the good work!
The protagonist has a good personality; he's cunning and a bit of a sly one, never causing trouble, but if provoked, he'll never hesitate to act decisively and swiftly, leaving no loose ends. I really like him. Here are four words for you: You're bound to be a hit!
This is great! I'm giving it five stars to others. Even reading it makes me feel frustrated; this is only the second book that has made me feel this way. It's truly amazing! Life is already frustrating enough, and reading a novel makes it even more frustrating 👍
Why is the rating so low when it's so good? The "survival of the fittest" genre is all about hiding your true nature! I think it's very well written. Several novels on Tomato Book that focus on this kind of survival-focused cultivation have been criticized by readers and have been forced to stop updating. Author, keep going! I hope you don't stop updating! 😢 Keep it up!
Well, this book isn't the typical fast-paced, light novel genre. It's more like a traditional cultivation novel from around 2008, featuring a steady and cautious character setup. As we all know, the excessive padding in light novels leads veteran readers to quickly flip through the pages, but this novel is a rare find that even a 15-year veteran reader like myself could savor and slowly read…
The protagonist is so devoted to his tavern that he borrows money to keep it open even when he's broke; he just can't leave.
I think it's a slow burn, the pacing and plot are all pretty good. The villainous supporting character is intelligent and has a brain. Much better than those trashy books I haven't used this cheat code much. Keep up the good work, author!!
This novel about immortality is different from other novels about immortality. Other novels about immortality follow the same formula: the protagonist trains in martial arts to become a grandmaster, then changes locations to cultivate immortality in a sect, and then it becomes no different from ordinary cultivation novels.
