Breaking the rules, the process is completely different from any longevity novel I have read before. It is no longer a running account mode plot, or the background is too complicated and the description of the characters is ignored. It shows us the exploration, growth, sadness or joy of the world of immortality from the perspective of the protagonist.
The highlight is the protagonist's very lifelike character development, which I think is a very appealing aspect in the AI era. The male lead isn't a ruthless, overpowered protagonist, nor a cunning, scheming genius, nor a deeply vengeful, blood-soaked hero, nor a wicked demon.
I think it's very well written, with superb prose, no forced connections, and seamless transitions. The descriptions of various aspects of life are very immersive and feel natural. Five stars!
No rambling, fluffy stories; a simple and clear logical cultivation world – this is the real cultivation world, not the typical overpowered protagonist or tragic family feuds. Everyone is cultivating, and people let go of what they should let go of. It's so satisfying!
This book is truly excellent. Other novels about immortality all start with the protagonist being immortal and having the worst aptitude (actually the most amazing), but this protagonist doesn't even have the qualifications to cultivate immortality 🤦. And although the protagonist suffers a lot, it's not the kind of cruel treatment the author uses to torment the reader.
I regret discovering this so late! It's so good, a perfect 100! 😆😆😆😆 Unlike the current template-style writing, you really have to read the old books. 😆😆😆 So good! 🥺🥺🥺🥺By chapter 456, I really couldn't read any more. It's all descriptions of women, at least ten times per chapter. 🥺🥺🥺I don't understand, there's really no need for so many descriptions.
The first few chapters felt like they were written by a novice, but the subject matter was good and I kept reading. The story gradually improved as it progressed. Personally, I think that besides the main plot of seeking immortality, there could be some foreshadowing, since the protagonist is on a path to immortality, and this momentum should be utilized!
The characters are well-developed, but some readers might not accept the male lead's personality. The plot is somewhat convoluted, but it's still captivating and quite original. Overall, this is a book that deserves a nine-out-of-ten rating. I predict this book will have a bad ending.
It's pretty good. Although sometimes the protagonist is deliberately made to suffer setbacks, which is frustrating to read, I think that's how novels are supposed to be. However, if the author had been a little more subtle, the book would have been more readable. But if you can get through the initial annoyance, it's alright. The author is still the same as always. Funny as it is, but truly humiliating!
The idea is very good, but I feel that the writing style and the subtle details are not quite enough, and the background is too blurry.
