It's pretty good. So far, after reading dozens of chapters, there haven't been any major problems. It's worth reading. I look forward to finishing it and continuing to update it. The plot starting from chapter 62 is rather disgusting. First, the disciple is forced to heal someone even with a sword to his throat; then, he inexplicably gets into a conflict with someone because that person captured…
It's a good book; the plot and character development are quite good. The pacing just feels a bit fast. It's also clear the author has some understanding of Taoist culture. The protagonist's personality is excellent; he seems like a calm and serene person. The story also incorporates some reflections on the lives of ordinary people in ancient times. I hope the author continues; he's sure to achieve great things.
A truly excellent book, a rare find. This cultivation novel offers philosophical insights into Taoism, explaining profound truths in simple terms. It's engaging, informative, and the several short stories within are well-designed. I hope the author continues to improve.
This book is suitable for seasoned readers. The author explains a lot, which might bore those seeking a quick read. As a novel about establishing a sect, it departs from conventional cultivation novels by adopting Taoist cultivation methods, which is quite novel. The explanations of the Great Dao are also relatively clear and easy to understand.
The characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is tightly woven, the Taoist traditions are rigorously observed, and everyone is intelligent. It's a great book, and I hope the author continues to improve!
It's a good read, the main character has very positive values, and it's not one of those gangster/cultivation novels.
It's pretty good overall, the writing is above average, I'd give the author four stars. The only point I'd deduct a star from is the author's inaccurate understanding of Taoism. Some Taoist ideas are presented as fantasy novel reflections, while others are repeatedly emphasized as orthodox Taoist traditions. [Bookmark] Well...
Great book! It's just that the rating is too low 🤦 It's been recommended to me several times, but I lost interest as soon as I saw the rating. I only read it because I was bored, and it's really good—no melodrama, no Mary Sue moments! 👍👍👍👍
It's a very good book, but it seems to clash with Tomato's readers. The author wanted to write about cause and effect, reporting on a cultivator's cultivation, while readers wanted to see immediate karma. Regardless of the consequences, no matter how capable the protagonist is or what they can do for the world, and regardless of the impact on the young girl's mindset after she was possessed by a…
Overall, it's alright. I think Candle Nine is really cute, hahaha!! However, the plot involving the protagonist's top scholar apprentice in the synopsis of over a hundred chapters was frustrating and inexplicable. He was tricked into sleeping in the same bed as the princess (it's been a long time since I've seen such a classic honey trap), and then he developed feelings for her.
