It's so well written! The protagonist's magic, Dao heart, and everything else are all for the sake of his Great Dao, unlike some other novels where the protagonist learns everything and everything in order to become some kind of chaotic Great Dao.
So far, there aren't many major flaws. The main character is well-developed and has great potential!
This is one of the few traditional cultivation novels I could actually finish reading. The path of cultivation is creative; geniuses aren't limited by resources, and enlightenment and meditation can also improve cultivation and lead to transcendence! Although the book has some flaws, watching the protagonist meditate always brings me peace of mind.
After watching so much scheming and intrigue, I suddenly felt that this story was actually quite calming and peaceful. It avoids clichés, features a protagonist who seems like an immortal, peacefully cultivating immortality, embodying the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me, and if they do, I will slay them," single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and treating everyone with kindness... It's simply captivating, updates quickly, and it's exactly my style!
After finishing the book, I had a subtle, detached feeling. The protagonist values cause and effect more than the lives of ordinary people, and while he values emotions in the early stages, he becomes selfless and indifferent after his parents' passing. Overall, the concept is very novel, and I really liked the anchor points of butterflies and illusions.
This is a novel that's perfect for those who are currently experiencing a reading slump; it's one you can settle down and enjoy. I couldn't continue reading this book after chapter 117 because it felt like it was written by a different author. The content became increasingly clichéd and simplistic, giving me a disjointed and forced feeling.
It's well written. The dreamlike quality of the butterfly is well captured. Although the little grass is a bit abrupt, I think it's alright. It should be considered an anchor point, like the family.
It's good, but there are too few chapters so far. I'll wait and read it later. P. S.: I suggest writing fewer scenes involving female characters 😢😢 It doesn't quite fit this story.
Wow, this book is really, really good! The whole thing is about the protagonist having his own epiphanies, understanding, and cultivating immortality, which is much more satisfying than those books with a system that adds points to your character. Although the ending is a bit strange, apart from the last ten chapters, the rest is very well written with excellent prose. The plot doesn't drag or follow any particular formula. I highly recommend it!
Although the battles are rather uneventful, the book captures the essence of human life, the emotions and desires of those seeking enlightenment, and the invincible power of the mind. It's a rare gem among Tomato's works in the past two years.
