I’m So Disappointed in Urban Cultivation Novels!
99.9% of urban cultivation novels follow the same formula: an Immortal Emperor (or Immortal Venerable) returns to Earth, and from the start, runs into a classmate who mocks him and invites him to a reunion. He shows off and face-slaps everyone at the reunion, then meets an old man from a powerful family who asks him to treat an illness.

Where Have All the High-Quality High-Martial-Arts Stories Gone?
Looking for books like Reborn, I Tutor My Younger Sister and Shock the Nation. What kind of awful high-martial-arts stories are people writing these days? They all start with a spiritual power or awakening test, where the protagonist gets looked down on. Then some school beauty from another class has the highest talent or whatever, and he does too. Are there any that don’t...

This book is very well written, but I only gave it four stars because I read a novel with a very similar plot, but this one is much more enjoyable to read. The other book had some flaws, but this one improved upon them, making it a more comfortable read. 😘 I just hope it doesn't follow the same path as that book, since it seems to have borrowed from it. And please update soon! 😄
Hehe, Su Liu 99, the details are a bit lacking, but it's not a big deal. I predict it will be around 7.6 Points.
It's pretty good. So far, there haven't been any uncomfortable scenes; it's a heartwarming slice-of-life story.
I haven't read the book, but I did read the reviews. I don't know what they're thinking. Why can't Taoist novels have female leads? Who told them that? They're not monks. Taoists can get married. Besides, in the four-word mantra of cultivation, "wealth, companion, method, and land," the companion is second. Not everyone cultivates the art of forgetting emotions.
It was fine, but it suddenly disappeared.
Overall, it's not bad. However, the terms used for worshippers are Buddhist and Taoist. The more common terms are: * ** (Shànxìn):** Believer; the most general term for ordinary believers who come to offer incense and visit. * ** (Fúzhǔ):** Benefactor; someone who funds a Taoist temple for rituals and offerings (corresponding to a Buddhist patron).
I enjoyed the beginning, but the romantic subplot wasn't handled very well, and the details were just so-so. However, adding a female lead to become a Taoist priest together was a fresh style, and it was mutual. The rest of the story is uneventful, and most importantly, the romantic relationship doesn't progress much. I don't understand it; they established a relationship so quickly at the beginning, but then there's absolutely no progress afterward.
It's a slice-of-life story, very well written. There's not much scheming or intrigue, making it much more comfortable to read.
It's super good, the content is incredibly rich, but the updates are rather slow. I hope the author will update more often! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It was beautiful, but how did it just disappear?
