Let me summarize first: This book is an excellent novel that is very rare on Tomato. This is a real mortal stream, with no cheats. The male protagonist only has a heart to survive in another world. He has been surviving in the wilderness since he was five years old and has been subjected to a series of oppressions. The male protagonist does not always have the best solution to every situation like reading a script. He will make mistakes, and his impulse will lead to more cruel consequences. The male protagonist has a bottom line and a kind heart, but he will never do anything that may endanger himself in order to help others. But this may cause discomfort to some readers. What makes me admire more is the creation of the characters. The characters in the book are not simply good at evil, but very three-dimensional. Kind-hearted people will also do "evil" for their own interests or desires. Even the supporting characters are all highly intelligent and look like living people under the author's writing. However, this book will not have a large audience on Tomato because the pace is slow, but there are many corresponding details. The behavior and psychology of the characters are described in detail. There are very few interesting points in this book. The male protagonist cannot be comfortable for two chapters and is constantly being oppressed. This will also discourage many people. But I think this is the real mortal flow, rather than using various cheats under the guise of mortal flow. I have written so much first. So few people have read this book. But I think the quality is excellent. The author must not be a eunuch. I hope the author will reply to me after reading it.
How does a child who is reborn (not in the womb) and possess the skills of cultivating immortals survive on a desert island? After leaving the desert island, he encounters some cruel people and things. After acquiring the skills of cultivating immortals, he does not become super powerful and kills all the ordinary warriors. He has been struggling to survive in a bandit den on the mountain with cruel rules. It feels real, cruel, and bad to me. Every character is very vivid, and the supporting characters are well-characterized and realistic in a few sentences. There are no routines, no pretending to be a slap in the face. The plot of the story is very smooth, and people are drawn into it unconsciously. I read novels, whether they are about farming, scientific research, cultivating immortals, harem upgrades, etc., But there is one common feature that must be true and consistent with the actual plot.
It's a rare masterpiece, and the logic is very smooth. I haven't found any poisonous points yet. It would be better if it could make it a little bit more refreshing. In short, it is a rare masterpiece of Tomato before Chapter 160. You can eat it with confidence. The sense of immersion is great, and each character's personality is very distinct. Some characters have very few scenes, which is quite likable, but I didn't expect that they died in the end. Some characters want to tear her hands off, such as the demon third lady. I really want her to be tortured to death by the protagonist. There are also the gang leader, eldest son, second son, and third lady who have not appeared much yet. They are all so ruthless. They are not good birds. I hope to pave the way for more of their stories before going to the world of cultivating immortals, because it is really interesting to watch.
The writing is so good and the image created above is so good. It establishes the main character's image of why he is cultivating immortality. It's not for some illusory things like immortality, but for the purpose of being able to control his own destiny in the future. Everyone is very logical in what they do and say, and all proceed from their own interests.
It is a very good novel. I think it is a relatively logical and in-depth novel. It can be said that it is a sadistic novel disguised as a fairy tale. It makes people sympathize with the protagonist but also want to laugh at the same time. The writing style is very tricky, there are not so many bloated modifiers, but it is not like a novice novel. From the article, it can be seen that the author is definitely a weather-beaten person. In addition to becoming stronger, you can also clearly feel the protagonist's mental growth. The characters portrayed in the article so far are all very expressive, and they can be regarded as depicting evil to the core. I still highly recommend this novel.
This book is the first book I am willing to rate on Tomato, and it is also the first book I am willing to write a review. Rather than saying it is about cultivating immortals, it is better to say it is a history of blood and tears of a time traveler who has lived in two lifetimes and struggled to survive.
I have read 540,000 words, and I haven't seen any trace of cultivating immortals. I am still controlled by poison in that village, and my life is at risk at any time. The writing is good. If you want to read it, don't read it as a novel about cultivating immortals. Just read it as a novel about martial arts. So far, no immortal has appeared. If you want to see the protagonist cultivating immortals, you have to wait. After all, so far, the entire background is the world of martial arts.
When you update, subtle flaws will be magnified, and the greenness of the writing will be criticized. When you update twice, a little patience is born, and the progress of the plot is paid more attention to. When you are on the third watch, the little praise starts to sound, and the number of dead harvests starts to decrease. When you finish the fifth update, readers' support will spontaneously form, and the voices of praise will become louder and louder. When you are in the tenth watch, the great Confucian scholars' debates are deafening, and the tolerant attitude is implemented both internally and externally. When you are twenty, you will have a place in the bookworm's memories. Even in your long life, your name will leave a dazzling trace. Updates may not solve all problems, but more than 90% of problems come from insufficient updates.
In the online novel market where cool writing is rampant, it is rare to be unique and stand out, and it is worth reading. Note, it is very abusive to the protagonist, so don't take it for yourself, and those with poor psychological quality should be careful. The current score is 7.5. If the book becomes popular one day, please remember to kick me so that I can see more like-minded friends.
Regardless of the plot, I feel that the author has his own style of writing (rough but elegant). I especially like the author's description of the changes in expressions of certain characters. The contrast makes me feel very happy...! Unexpectedly, the psychological changes of the characters actually made me very happy... I hope the author will make greater progress in the future. I wonder if there will be more novel rhetorical techniques. Because some words can become a bit boring if read a lot. Another point I feel is that some parts of the book are very ruthless in their descriptions, without too much overview. I also like this very much. Perhaps many readers feel that the author is impersonal, so why is that section not written more? So emotionless! But this kind of plain writing method actually increases the intensity, but it should especially test the writer's ability. I won't say more. I hope it will be a masterpiece... Phew...
