Five stars. As a seasoned bookworm, just looking at it is refreshing and eye-opening.
While the author's writing style is average, the concept is novel, depicting a difficult cultivation world that emphasizes resources and talent. Having read many books, I've never seen an author think of a banquet for those who leave the world after death, or a ceremony for those who pass away peacefully. The author pays attention to the lives of lower-level cultivators, showing genuine humanity. For this alone, it deserves 5 stars.
It's pretty good, and I think the main character is intelligent enough. Also, the action sequences weren't too hesitant. I think it's quite good, and it suits my taste. So far, I don't have any major flaws. I highly recommend it. It's also not overly verbose; it's concise and clear. It's not too cheesy either. Thai movies are getting boring. They do involve fighting monsters, okay.
The story of an ordinary person with no background who slowly cultivates immortality. Although he is a descendant of the Xu family, he achieved Foundation Establishment through his own efforts in the early stages. It's a good story, but the author updates too slowly 🥺 Not enough to watch, not nearly enough at all! 🤦🤦🤦
This novel is really well-written; I'm still reading it. It's the novel I've followed the longest in all my years of reading novels. The language is simple and unadorned, the plot is well-developed, and the writing is skillfully executed. I give it five stars! 🤭
The characters are portrayed as intelligent, lucky, unassuming, and especially hardworking, giving them boundless hope and imagination. They are truly unique among novels, rarely resembling other works. Thumbs up! 👍 Let's all look forward to Xu Changshou's growth.
I watched the short drama, but the updates were too slow. I finally managed to catch up with the novel and finished it in one go, but the novel's updates are even slower than the drama's... Having read the previous reviews that gave it one or two stars, I don't know why, but I genuinely think this is super good.
The beginning is good. The protagonist, Xu Changshou, is the same as the protagonist of the neighboring book, "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting with a Chaos Talisman (Chaos Creation Talisman)," Xu Chang'an (their names are only one character different). Both have ten elemental spiritual roots and rune spaces. The stories are different, but both are very readable.
It's well-written, but the plot feels a bit slow. I've reached 100 chapters and I'm still stuck on Qi cultivation (no offense to the author, just sharing my opinion). ❤️
Well written, original, and creative.
