Has Traditional Fantasy Really Fallen Off? I Still Haven’t Found a Good One.
I'm tired of the new-style fantasy novels. I miss the old-fashioned, traditional kind. A golden finger is fine, but no System. Rebirth is fine, but no transmigration. Preferably no female lead or just one, and the protagonist should work hard on his own and ultimately succeed.

Good book, really good book. I have read the novel for nearly 6,000 hours. I personally feel that it is as good as anyone else, but the ratings cannot compare with the number of people. But this book is really good to read. I recommend it. It would be great if the author adds some elements of Han Laomo to the male protagonist.
It's so beautiful, and the content is so rich and colorful that you can't bear to put it down. Come on, young man, work hard to update.
A very nice book! The story reaches climax one after another. The plot is incredible and mind-boggling. The protagonist has a true temperament, and the relationship between men and women is sincere, simple and not sentimental. The mind is firm in pursuing the great road. Highly recommended reading!
The protagonist is kidnapped as a blood slave and abandoned in the Beast Mountain step by step. He relies on the Chaos Talisman to make talismans to increase his strength, and then joins the sect. He works step by step and carefully increases his strength. I really like this kind of novel with the talisman as the theme. The author is great, please give me more, it is not enough, it is so good~
The portion is large and the tube is full, so far it's pretty good. I don't know when it started to become a historical fantasy novel. It's not as good as the original adventure novel.
Full star rating! The Emperor's Way of Incense is a brand new field. The author combines historical allusions and immortality novels to create different sparks. It is very creative! Fiction writers need this kind of innovation! From the memory of the protagonist Xu Changan, he began to foreshadow the writing, and his mother gave him a golden talisman. The author grew up step by step. He escaped from death several times relying on the power of the golden talisman. It seemed thrilling, but in fact he had great luck and gold-finger skills. He could already imagine that the protagonist was the reincarnation of a powerful person. The psychology of the protagonist was actually somewhat incomprehensible. He jumped repeatedly between maturity and childishness. Maybe this is the mind of a cultivator who has lived for too long. I can't look at it with a mortal's eyes. I'm such an old bookworm! I really wish I could see something different!
This is a novel about cultivating immortality that I like so much after reading it for many years. What I like very much is that the protagonist is practicing peacefully and not wandering around. I saw in Chapter 192 that the protagonist practiced qi to the sixth level, went into seclusion for 200 years, and was able to calm down. So far, there is nothing that I find toxic in the entire novel, and there are not too many impetuous elements, such as time travel, systems, etc. None of those big pretentious calculations. The protagonist is a native of the world of immortality. He has a powerful magic weapon called Golden Finger, and he practices peacefully, refining elixirs, making talismans, and setting up formations. Don't fight with others, don't fight for women. I could only see this feeling when I read traditional immortality novels many years ago. After many years, the current novels are too impetuous. They often travel through space and time, and casually lay out the reincarnations for tens of millions of years. It's very difficult to find someone who can practice Qi and build the foundation in peace and peace of mind. I gave up after reading Chapter 379. Let me summarize the nonsense of this novel for your reference. The novel goes into pure torture mode starting around chapter 200. 1. When the protagonist provokes enemies outside, he actually uses the face and name of the senior brother with whom he has the best relationship. In the end, the enemy directly remembers the face and name of the senior brother. I don't understand, who can't be transformed into the disguise pill? 2 The protagonist told his mortal wife that when he returns home in half a year, he will not come back for about eighty years. When he returns home, his wife will be over a hundred years old. He began to pretend to be a good husband, saying that he would not go to the secret realm in order to accompany his mortal wife. There was an inexplicable wave of sensation, but in fact there was already another woman outside. 3 This is also the most ridiculous and the most intolerable to me. The protagonist's mortal wife committed suicide by taking poison in order to allow the protagonist to go to the secret realm with peace of mind. May I ask? What kind of character building is this. What kind of female image does the author create? My husband has been away from home for 80 years without even returning home, and he didn't even write a letter. We finally met him. Is the relationship so deep? How have you spent these 80 years? Let the protagonist go out to practice, but he can't speak with his mouth? 4. The protagonist was hunted by the powerful Nascent Soul during the foundation-building period. He actually teleported back to his hometown and wanted to go back to his sect. However, he diverted the trouble eastward and led the enemy to his sect. At that time, the sect's highest cultivation level was the golden elixir. 5 It was still about being chased by the powerful Nascent Soul. He used the teleportation array to leave. He actually thought that he was safe and was ready to return to the sect in peace. May I ask? There were so many witnesses, so I could just ask anyone and come over and arrest the protagonist directly. 6 The protagonist is looking for trouble. He hides his name in the capital and uses his master's name and appearance. I really can't complain, and I can't even make the best elixir in a high-profile way. Wow, what a hideaway. 7 All the characters are flat, not just the protagonist's wife, but also the protagonist. All the characters, I can't see their true personalities and emotions, they are all NPCs without any thoughts. I'm not going to read it anymore, the rest is full of eye-catching stuff. Considering that the first few dozen chapters are very exciting and the 200 chapters or less are still acceptable, I revised the rating to 2 stars. More than 80% of the novel with more than a thousand chapters is written randomly, so a 2-star rating should be about the same.
Nice. I like this type, it's very rhythmic
Heard Chapter 627. Traditional immortality writing. The hierarchical classification of cultivation, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, seals, etc. Is generally consistent with the traditional immortal cultivation literature, which is relatively easy to accept. But the combat power system is a bit broken. The emotional processing of the protagonist is somewhat lacking, especially the emotional processing of the mortal wife and children is disappointing. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the book was all about incense cultivation and hegemony. It was a bit poisonous and too long. There are many inconsistencies in details and inconsistencies in the preface and the follow-up. Apart from these problems, everything else is very good. The characters are relatively stable, the story has continuity, and the matters mentioned in the previous article are basically dealt with accordingly in the following article. The novel is pretty good overall. New map, hope to have good performance and new surprises. Don't be a rogue when reading, just send a message and comment.
Great book! When I first started reading fantasy novels, I enjoyed reading everything, but as I read more, my taste became more and more sophisticated. The characters, plots, logic, grammar, and even the author's idioms were not to my taste and I couldn't read them anymore. In the past two years, I basically haven't read (or heard) the ending! This book is quite good in every aspect. It is a rare good book. Most authors often use repetitive words when describing expressions, demeanor, tone, and dialogue. The long story of hundreds and thousands of chapters makes readers feel very bored. For example, the characters in Battle Through the Sky always 'shake their heads helplessly'. I hope the author will take this as a warning, write better and better, and present a perfect work to readers. I wish you good health and all the best!
