Cultivating Immortality in a Western Fantasy World with Players

The fourth catastrophe, a blend of Western fantasy and cultivation, has a good premise and currently has no major flaws. The initial chapters provide initial assistance, but once the protagonist gains independent power, the story treats them like easy targets, creating a slight sense of urgency (but not much).

I just saw the latest update, and it's great! (Slight spoilers) This book, *The Fourth Calamity*, isn't a typical formulaic story. The author clearly has their own ideas. The Fourth Calamity isn't introduced until the first 10 chapters, and the ability to summon it isn't a system-generated power; the author researches it themselves, which is pretty cool.

The common flaw in this kind of story still exists: if someone with high cultivation level dies in the wild, does they resurrect with their original cultivation level? Then the protagonist would just be a laborer. Perhaps a mechanism could be added to recover corpses and return a certain percentage of cultivation level to adjust this. Okay, I didn't see the rest, never mind.

Will someone eventually travel here thinking it's a magical world, only to discover that the player's world actually has cultivators? 😏

Long-time readers get their wisdom teeth back quickly! 🤓👍

First, the world-building seems vast, and the subject matter is quite novel. Second, the writing style is decent, avoiding the common problem of excessive daily life descriptions found in other Fourth Calamity novels. Third, the setting is ingenious, and there are no systems or similar elements that detract from the reading experience, which suits my taste perfectly. Finally, this book is relatively niche, so I'll support it.

I have a question. How did they come into this world if they don't have souls? In normal novels of the same genre, the soul comes to this world while the body remains in the original world, right? [What][What][What]

The best book that blends Western fantasy and cultivation elements

It's well-written. I've recently read several books on the Fourth Calamity, and they're all pretty much the same. The leveling-up content is quite procedural and gamified, and they mostly involve modern technology. This one leans more towards the cultivation system, and the gamification isn't too obvious. It also doesn't have any major flaws. It's one of the more satisfying books I've read recently. Keep up the good work, author! Update soon!!!

Why would he sue the virtual world? I still don't understand. What benefit would it bring to the protagonist? The protagonist has experienced seven layers of loneliness; would he still act this way? When I'm lonely, I think about the universe, life, the world, and life and death.
