(Unhinged + split-personality junior sister + master-obsessed rebellious disciple + shameless master + lighthearted comedy + no System + silly fun + cultivation based on numerical stats)
Xia Tian transmigrates to a cultivation world overflowing with “meaning,” where cultivators find it extremely difficult to improve through traditional cultivation and must publish academic papers to grow stronger.
Demonic cultivators start writing inspirational essays,
rogue cultivators publish reflections on living off others,
and dual cultivators publish accounts of their post-coital routines.
Xia Tian discovers that common knowledge from Earth frequently earns the Heavenly Dao's recognition in this world. Even wearing a Sunfire Mask and a Thornmail, so that hitting him means hitting yourself, works. Somehow, even split personalities can succeed.
Then inspiration strikes. He claims that cultivation is just messing around with a bunch of techniques and promotes the motto, “If it exists, it's reasonable; if it's reasonable, it's bullshit.” The lazier he gets, the higher his cultivation rises...
Xia Tian's inner thoughts:
My master has no principles, my junior sister has split personalities, and I'm the only normal person on the whole mountain.
Lin Qingxue's inner thoughts:
This is bad, this is bad. My eldest disciple only knows how to slack off, my second disciple has split personalities, and Qingxue Mountain has no future.
Su Qiao'er's inner thoughts:
My master only knows how to gamble, my senior brother is unreliable, and without me, Qingxue Mountain will fall apart sooner or later.
The book's premise was quite novel, and the characters really made me laugh.
