   Reader note

   This is a traditional cultivation novel with a parasitic, dark, and esoteric theme. The protagonist consumes insect eggs before taking cultivation pills. His cheat ability allows him to steal others' spiritual power. He cultivates by raising insects, possesses an abnormal spiritual root (a black python), and has no system or superpowers. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, but the pacing is a bit slow. It gets to a good point around chapters five or six; the early chapters are transitional. You can skip ahead if you don't like this kind of story. It's not a mindless, fast-paced novel. If you don't like this kind of story, please don't click the "j" button.
