[Cold-Faced, Adorable Female Lead + No Romance + Coming of Age + Fun Ensemble Cast + System]
“I can’t update for now. This poor wage slave has gone to work on an assembly line and really doesn’t have the energy…”
(Somewhat slow-paced. The protagonist has no romance plot, though quite a few other characters have one-sided crushes on her.)
Shen Jinyuan narrowly escaped death and unexpectedly bonded with an Ascension System.
The hatred, fear, jealousy, and dread people felt toward her could all be automatically converted into emotional points.
She completed the System’s tasks and used the opportunity to put on a show, raking in emotional points.
The cultivators who couldn’t stand her were shocked and furious. “A useless cultivator with a mixed spirit root? How does she deserve to rise to the top at every turn?”
In the end, all they could do was kneel and beg for mercy. “I was wrong! I’ll never dare provoke you again!”
One after another, they put on a spectacular face-slapping show, admitting their mistakes and getting humbled.
But there’s a hard-and-fast rule of web fiction: every cheat comes with a catch.
The System was deliberately steering her toward the Path of Ruthlessness.
The trouble was, she’d played the aloof, cold-hearted act a little too well. The whole sect was convinced:
“Our junior sister must be an exemplary graduate of the Path of Ruthlessness, the first to ascend to immortality!”
She decided to go along with it, becoming a taciturn, aloof, top-tier sword cultivator. She planned to walk the path to immortality alone and spend her life indifferent to everything.
Who could have guessed that a huge conspiracy lay behind the System that had accompanied her day and night?
And the companions who had laughed and joked with her along the way were all powerful figures hiding their brilliance, each with an astonishing background.
Shen Jinyuan: So I was the clown all along!
The Demon Realm: The Saintess is no clown!
Shen Jinyuan: ???
(A slow-burn coming-of-age story. The protagonist keeps a low profile and focuses on growing stronger early on, but she never suffers needlessly. Her power gradually erupts later.)
Read a little bit. Give a rating first. The plot is good, but the writing style is a little lacking. EM doesn't seem to be light and cheerful yet, it's a bit dull. It feels like the author has written too many short stories. I feel that this style of writing is not suitable for such a cheerful long/medium-length fairy tale. It's weird, the description in some places is too em direct(?) It could be left blank to give some space for thinking. (I'm not a professional, so I'm not using the right words, so I'm just talking about my feelings. I hope this book will get better and better) Change. The plot is much better later on, it feels more cheerful, and there is obvious progress😘It's so good to watch.
What can I say? It seems that the first few chapters are a bit boring at the moment. I just can't stand it. I'll take a closer look at the rest.
