This book is detailed and slow-paced. The protagonist doesn't start out invincible; the story unfolds gradually!
In Qingshi Town, Chen Mo, a blacksmith's son, wakes up every day with a line of text in his mind: a divination that tells him what fortune and misfortune the day holds. Sometimes it's terrifyingly accurate, sometimes it's vague, and sometimes it's clearly the opposite of the truth.
His spiritual roots are mixed, his aptitude mediocre, and nobody believes in him. But Chen Mo knows better than anyone: when mortals cultivate immortality, success doesn't depend on talent. It depends on making the right choice at every crossroads.
If the divination says, "Go east and meet a benefactor," he goes east. If it says, "Wait quietly for three days," he grits his teeth and waits three days. If it says, "Don't trust a man in white," then when a man in white offers him a pill, he stays on his guard.
This isn't a story about a genius crushing everyone. It's the story of an ordinary man who relies on the information advantage of a daily divination and the steady, calculating nature of a blacksmith's son to survive, one step at a time, in a cultivation world that devours people.
The writing is okay, I'll keep it for now and see what happens next.
The content gets better and better the more you read it. There is nothing fast-paced, but the writing is very delicate. Among fast-paced online articles, it is rare to find a book that slows down.
