The Ink Calamity: A Long Road to Immortality

Core theme: This story carries on the essence of the “ordinary mortal” genre. The protagonist has mediocre, or even poor, aptitude, and relies on caution, cunning, good fortune, and far greater perseverance than most to advance carefully and struggle to survive in a brutal cultivation world where resources are scarce and the strong prey on the weak, ultimately carving out a path of his own. It emphasizes the hardships of cultivation, the cruelty of reality, competition for resources, and the protagonist’s growth and transformation.
