Highly Rated Mortal Cultivation Stories Without a System
Tomato Novel Has Had so Many Great New Releases Lately, but the Word Counts...
Lately, Tomato Books keeps recommending stories that update constantly, then after a while there's another new book with only a hundred-odd thousand words, but plenty of readers. They all seem pretty good, too, but just when you get really interested, the story ends…
Looking for Truly Good Books. No Immature Stories!
I've read too many books, and most lose me after a few chapters. The writing is so immature, as if it were written by a kid with only a middle-schooler's thinking skills. I want to read good books, truly good books!
Completed Xianxia Novels That Are Better Than Typical Cultivation Stories and Have Sound Logic

Honest review ⭐⭐⭐ I've read about 50 chapters so far, and there are around 100 requests for more. Not ideal, a bit like children's literature. ① I've never understood one thing: the protagonist clearly has a cheat ability, but you're told this isn't a wish-fulfillment novel. Doesn't it feel contradictory and depressing? What kind of personality likes to read this?
"The Rise of the Dust" is truly stunning! The author, with refined and vivid prose, eloquently narrates the journey of a village boy seeking immortality with only a purse in hand. The plot is ingeniously conceived, blending the down-to-earth simplicity of everyday life with the epic adventures of cultivation, maintaining a perfect balance and captivating the reader.
The story's use of the imagery of "dust" is exquisite. Here, "dust" represents not only the physical elements of wind, sand, and toil, but also the hardships and confusion of life's journey, and the insignificance and resilience of ordinary people amidst the torrent of history.
"The Rise of the Mortal" paints a vivid picture of a mortal's journey to immortality with its simple and unadorned style. The title, "The Rise of the Mortal," aptly captures the essence of the story—the protagonist is not born into nobility, nor does he possess any extraordinary inheritance; rather, he rises step by step from humble beginnings in the mortal world.
This novel deserves to be praised. Don't take the initial ratings too seriously. As you follow the updates, you'll see the author meticulously crafting a detailed world of cultivation. If you read it attentively, you'll discover it's a masterpiece worth exploring further. I predict it will receive overwhelmingly positive reviews in the future.
"The Rise of Dust"—Starting from humble beginnings, embarking on the path to immortality. With its simple style and solid narrative, this work paints a classic picture of "mortals cultivating immortality." The title "Qi Chen" (起尘) itself points to the main theme—a story of someone born in the mortal world and starting from humble beginnings.
The title "Qi Chen" carries profound meaning; it's more than just a title, symbolizing the essence of an ordinary person's rise to power. The novel centers on a rural boy's journey to immortality, eschewing exaggerated plot devices and instead using simple yet delicate prose to paint a picture that blends the realities of life with the grandeur of the immortal path.
This book gave me the feeling of reading an ordinary person. The plot is full of ups and downs, the writing is delicate, and the foreshadowing is intricate. I hope the author won't ruin the ending and will persevere so that I can grow along with the protagonist. Looking forward to becoming the second mortal 😄
What amazing writing! The author has created a super interesting world of cultivation. It's a slow-paced story, which is why very few authors can write it well, but the author's control of the narrative makes it feel both fast-paced and profoundly meaningful. The characters are also incredibly lifelike; it's so captivating, you can't put it down!
A cultivation novel similar to "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," quite well-written. While it has minor flaws, such as occasional repetition and wordiness, these don't detract from its overall excellence; it's very captivating.
