In the treacherous world of cultivation, Su Chen never acts rashly, meticulously planning and strategizing every step. Faced with various struggles and opportunities, he keenly perceives his own strengths, skillfully utilizing his spiritual root characteristics and mastering the subtleties of his learned spells, maximizing their potential.
As everyone knows, there are only three realms in cultivation: the Ant Stage, the Fellow Daoist Stage, and the Senior Stage. Ant, die! Fellow Daoist, please wait! Senior, spare my life!
The 8.1 Rating is fairly objective. The plot is worth watching, and the foreshadowing is well-developed and gradually resolved. I've already dropped it after 700+ chapters. The pre-Golden Core stage is very detailed, with vivid character descriptions; the sect, spirit pets, and villains are all lifelike.
It's really good! The pacing is tight, the battles are decisive, and there's not much unnecessary dialogue. Advancement isn't easy, unlike many novels where characters spend years in seclusion and immediately advance one or two levels. While it's fast-paced here, it's all based on reason. The protagonist could be a bit more meticulous.
It's rare to find a cultivation novel that manages to write both the main plot and the details so well. The protagonist is loyal and righteous without being a saint, and the character development is excellent. Currently, there are no romantic entanglements.
The plot is a bit clichéd, but the writing is smooth, and the story progresses steadily without being abrupt or rushed. The logic is sound, which is quite good. Of course, it's slightly inferior to *Six Ding Divine Fire*, *The Path of Immortal Alchemy*, *Star Path Immortal Traces*, and *The Mirror of Heaven*. Excellent, five-star review! (O^^o)
It's alright, the plot is reasonably designed, and it's not the kind of protagonist who's completely captivated by beautiful women 👍. However, why does the protagonist let out a "muffled groan" when releasing his aura or realizing something? The use of that word is rather inexplicable.
The protagonist is intelligent, determined, principled yet flexible, and has a positive outlook on life. He is a rare male protagonist in a cultivation novel. His cheat ability is also powerful and well-designed. Overall, I give it a five-star rating.
It's worth watching; it's one of the few mortal-centric stories that I really enjoyed watching, as it doesn't have that kind of abstract, face-slapping plot. Moreover, the pacing is just right, neither too fast nor too slow, which is quite comfortable to watch.
I haven't read the book, just looked at the table of contents. There are 255 chapters on Foundation Establishment, about 700,000 words. The author plans to finish it at 4 million words. One-fifth of the book is about the Qi Refining stage, and the Foundation Establishment stage will take up another one-fifth. I admire him!
