I Brought a Cultivation Game to Ancient Times, and I'm So Upright It's Sinister

Interesting. Unlike other books where someone is clearly very strong but constantly spouts the rhetoric of "I'm not a god, we're equals," or where characters are easily morally blackmailed, this book continues its current formula: If you're strong enough, even ants will see you as a god, and you can do whatever you want.

This book doesn't have that kind of story where the protagonist is the only cultivator, yet preaches equality to mortals while practically begging to be a dog to officials, especially emperors and princesses. For that alone, this book deserves 5 stars.

Okay, okay, finally it's not one of those articles that takes on apprentices from everyone they meet, great article!

It's well-written, so why is the rating so low? First, it doesn't feature any female characters who are overly attached to the female lead; second, it doesn't include any weak or burdensome characters; and third, there's no mindless romance. I haven't given a five-star review in a long time. I recommend this book to those who enjoy stories without a female lead, those that emphasize self-cultivation and self-interest, and those who don't want a saintly figure.

This is the most godlike and most interesting ancient Chinese novel. Others are people who are cautious and fearful in attacking high and defending low, people who are addicted to worldly affairs, people who are bound by worldly conventions, and gods who are high above and not descended to the mortal world... But this one is unrestrained, abides by the Dao, and is not bound by any rules. Even a speck of dust passing by can become a celestial destiny in the eyes of the mortal world.

Well, this book is readable. The only downside is that the author updates too slowly. By the way, the protagonist has a somewhat carefree and easygoing feel, which is quite good so far. It fits the image of a modern young man who travels to ancient times and doesn't eat beef. The only flaw is the less-than-ideal portrayal of the county magistrate in the early stages.

So far, my impressions are quite good. I'd like to recommend the author; this book is excellent. It doesn't mindlessly fawn over women or portray characters as carefree and frivolous. I hope the author doesn't change their attitude towards the emperor later on. I've read too many ancient cultivation novels like this, where the protagonist, a cultivator, is respectful and even fawning towards mortals. If there's a scene where the emperor is killed later on, I'll give it five stars! 👍

It's really good! Much better than most books that claim to be decisive but end up dragging things out. I don't understand why the rating is so low, and why those reviews give it such a low score without even a clear reason. Logically, as long as the book doesn't contain any dragging, female-oriented plot points, overly sentimental characters, or endless pre-kill dialogue, it shouldn't have such…

Some fellow cultivators have been criticizing the protagonist's temperament and state of mind, so the author would like to offer some explanation. The protagonist has only recently transmigrated and is currently only at the Qi Refining stage. Although invincible, he was originally just a young man who enjoyed playing games.

To be honest, up to this point, the protagonist seems like a machine, completely devoid of inner emotion. The lack of character development and the almost entirely third-person narration make it easy for readers to lose immersion, becoming increasingly drowsy and boring. Using more first-person perspectives and exploring the protagonist's inner thoughts would make it easier for readers to connect.
