A very good book. It's very heartwarming; you won't feel like every female character you encounter is about to have a romantic relationship. The female characters are well-developed. Although the sister isn't related by blood, they are genuinely siblings, and their relationship is very normal and heartwarming. The female friends are also genuinely friends; one is just an ordinary person who has gained immortality.
I've read a few chapters, and this is the first time I've encountered an urban fantasy novel about immortality. I really like this book. I suggest the author continue writing in the current style, developing the plot from the perspective of an ordinary person, and slowly depicting the protagonist's growth process. This would be more enjoyable to read.
It's not bad; it's not uncomfortable to read. While the character's strength increases slowly, there's no excessive focus on mundane daily life, and the timeline is relatively fast. The advantage of this is that it doesn't require a high level of writing skill; as long as the pacing is good, it's fine. Currently, the main character's personality is good, and the supporting characters aren't mindless either. I hope the author maintains this level of quality.
From April 24th to 27th, 2025, I read the latest chapter, 439 (1.05 million words), which was very good. The cheat codes are: immortality and increased strength through stat allocation. The god-level Turtle Breathing Technique allows the user to alter their displayed strength, including the strength detected by instruments.
It's well-written, finally something I can read. However, I feel it should have a female lead earlier on. It would be better to write about the male lead's growth after he reaches immortality. After all, the protagonist hasn't experienced love in either of his two lives. I think it would be better to show some of the protagonist's growth. He's only just achieved immortality; how could a normal person adapt to that feeling so quickly?
The pacing was excellent, and the plot was also good. You'd be better off picking up girls and eating them up. Author, I advise you not to be ungrateful. 😏
The pacing was decent, and from my perspective, there were no major flaws. The characters were well-developed, and the character development was also good.
The author should realize that there is a difference between humanity (family affection, patriotism, dedication, etc.) And animality (love, sexual desire). It is said that sincerity begets sincerity. When the protagonist was weak, Lin Liuxin had no feelings for him, but when she discovered that he was strong, she suddenly fell in love with him. It is a bit ridiculous to say that this was true love. What is even more ridiculous is that she deceived the protagonist into believing her true love.
In my opinion, this is the best longevity story. It's far superior to those stories where the protagonist is indifferent and carefree. The protagonist mostly acts like an ordinary person, rising through the ranks and encountering many benefactors.
Super good! Highly recommended! I hope there's no female lead; if there is, I'll keep watching! I suggest three updates a day! [Requesting more updates!][Bump this post!][Please follow!]
