A Killer’s Path to Immortality

Reality is a cold mirror. A rich, warm light bathes its surface, reflecting the bright and beautiful side of things. Beneath the surface lies a deep darkness, secretly supporting the entire mirror. Front and back, illusion and reality. I'm not saying the mirror's appearance is merely a reflection of the back; I'm saying that finally, someone has written something that allows me to glimpse even a…

This is a very creative book that transcends the traditional framework of cultivation novels. It's clear that the author is putting a lot of effort into telling a story about humanity, the path to immortality, and transcendence. The foreshadowing is plentiful, and the plot twists are frequent, making it a very enjoyable read! Definitely worth reading carefully!

At first, I didn't think this book would be very interesting. But as I read on, I found that although it was simple and straightforward without any particularly exciting plot twists, it was surprisingly quite good. The most important thing is the female lead. She just likes him; there aren't many reasons needed. It's impossible for everyone in the world to have such a dramatic and passionate love story. A simple, quiet love at first sight is the normal thing.

He kills one man in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. The deed done, he dusts off his clothes and departs, concealing his identity and name! Cool! Awesome! This is what a sword immortal novel should be! This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for a long time, but I haven't read it much.

Reading this book doesn't feel like reading a cultivation novel; it feels more like reading a martial arts novel. Perhaps cultivation novels are simply a continuation and sublimation of martial arts novels. However, many cultivation novels fail to capture the essence of cultivation: the vicissitudes of life. The long passage of time is a terrifying thing, and immortality is even more so.

Having read so many fantasy novels, all with similar formulas and a macro-narrative progression, this novel took me to a completely new perspective. It focused on the most fundamental character in fantasy novels, the "mortal," showing me the flesh-and-blood "mortals" behind the immortals, people we often overlook, and revealing the dialectical relationship between immortals and mortals. 😘

It's a good book. I rarely find a novel truly good, but this one is genuinely excellent. Nowadays, writers almost forget humanity, good and evil; they only know how to kill, show off, and act decisively—that's machine-like, not human! Since the novel is about people, and people are highly intelligent beings with emotions, opinions, a sense of right and wrong, flesh and blood…! Not walking corpses.

I've read about half of the updated parts of my book, and I feel that the protagonist is a person with feelings in his heart. However, he has been forcibly suppressing his feelings, and all his actions tell others that he can be whoever he wants to be, but he can also abandon it at any time. The ordinary people he depicts all lack normal lives; they are either making offerings or suffering.

This is a fantastic cultivation novel with a cleverly conceived plot and a highly suspenseful story that's truly impressive! The first-person perspective might feel awkward at first, but once you get used to it, it's incredibly immersive. Every character in the story is fleshed out, and at times the author seems a bit ruthless—a character you just started to like is killed off.

I've read over 30 chapters so far. It's written in the first person, which is quite rare, and it's very well written. Of course, this type of work will either be absolutely adored by those who like it, or difficult for those who don't to have the patience to read it. It has a strong philosophical connotation.
