[Just got a rating, it'll go up, meow] [Cultivation] [Cautious] [No Female Lead] [Ruthless] [King of Playing It Safe] [Not a Do-Gooder]
After transmigrating into the Cultivation world, Lin Xuan binds himself to a System from the start as a menial servant.
Every year, Lin Xuan can save up one "stroke." Under reasonably plausible circumstances, he can use it to add extra characters to his existing attributes.
Only at the third level of Qi Refining? Lin Xuan saves up for two years, adds a "ten" in front of the three, and instantly reaches the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the ultimate state of great perfection!
The worst Five-Element Spiritual Root? Lin Xuan saves up for four years, adds a "heaven," and transforms his mixed spiritual root into a Five-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root five times more effective than an ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Root!
The power multiplier for drawing his blade and striking someone is only the basic onefold? Lin Xuan adds a ten in front, instantly turning an unremarkable sword draw into the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, an overwhelmingly powerful technique with a guaranteed attack multiplier of at least elevenfold!
His constitution is a blank slate with only the word "empty" left? Lin Xuan saves up enough strokes and conjures a Spacetime Sacred Physique out of nothing!
By saving up every stroke year after year and continually putting points into himself, Lin Xuan never turns back on his cheat-powered path of growth. In the end, he rises from an outer-sect servant to become the Spacetime Dao Ancestor who suppresses the myriad heavens.
This is a very good book; it's the first one I've truly enjoyed. However, could the author perhaps use a cheat code to directly grant the protagonist a top-tier cultivation technique? Even if it's not the number one technique in the Spirit Realm or Immortal Realm, it could at least be the number one technique in the Human Realm.
This protagonist is truly cautious, and he has his own set of principles for dealing with people; he neither seeks trouble nor is afraid of it. The only slight concern is that the protagonist's disguise is makeup; wouldn't a cultivator with high spiritual sense be able to detect it?
Well, I've read up to chapter 67 and it's pretty good. This is how cultivation should be done: "Every man for himself, or the heavens will punish him." The protagonist plans carefully before acting, which is excellent, unlike some cultivation novels where joining a sect feels like being forced to be a babysitter. The only downside is that there aren't enough characters yet.
A perfect score! The protagonist possesses powerful abilities, yet the development and setup are reasonable. The plot unfolds at a suitable pace, making it a high-quality example of the survival-oriented genre. The characters are intelligent, logically consistent, rational, and act with careful planning.
It's pretty good, even better looking than those at the top of the list.
This is true cunning, unlike others that are just a facade. I love it! Please update soon!
It's pretty good. At least the protagonist acts decisively when necessary, showing a bit of strategic thinking, or rather, the protagonist generally knows his own strength and isn't the type to wait until he's invincible before emerging, even though he seems invincible in that world now.
The protagonist is taking a bit of a risk; why not try body training?
To be honest, instead of modifying cultivation techniques, it's better to find techniques that allow one person to instantly become three, with equal combat power, and equipped with three magical treasures, so you can fight one enemy at a time.
It's visually appealing, fast-paced, and doesn't drag on.
