It's simple and straightforward, which I really like. I hope the author can finish it (without padding). The first book is very ambitious, and I reckon it will take a long time to write. It's a bit complicated and requires some brainpower. It's not as exciting or thrilling as it is right now, so it's perfectly normal that there aren't any epic battles. The third book is quite good; the female lead is super interesting and capable.

    These are all cultivation novels I've read. The first and third ones have couples, but the romance is minimal; they all focus on diligent cultivation. My favorite is the third one. Some cultivation novels end with ascension, but the third one doesn't! It even tells the story after ascension. The female protagonist grows from a little girl being someone's disciple to becoming a master herself. Standing where her master once stood, speaking similar words, and seeing her little disciple react the same way she did, it's as if she sees herself reflected in the book. Reading it, I felt a profound sense of the passage of time. Also, the character Master Jin Guang is exceptionally well-developed! I highly recommend everyone to read it! Trust me, it's a great read!

    "Like willow catkins drifting in the wind," the female protagonist is single-mindedly focused on ascending to heaven. She may seem cold and indifferent, but from the moment she assumed the role of a public servant, it was destined that she couldn't stand idly by when others were in distress (she has her own principles, saving those she believes should be saved). Some call her a saint, but I don't understand. As someone who grew up in peacetime, shouldn't she be unable to stand by and watch someone die? ... Regardless of what others say, to me, she is gentle, strong, resilient, kind, idealistic, principled, and ambitious—the person I admire most. Therefore, I hope she can ride the favorable winds and soar to great heights.

    Although the synopsis doesn't look great, the writing is truly superb. The everyday moments between the master and apprentice are especially heartwarming. "Miss Leng, are you willing to tear a hole in this murky, dark world for yourself, to let the light in?" "The way to protect an eagle is never to break its wings, but to stand with it and sweep away all the dangers high in the sky." "It turns out that what moves us isn't just the heart-wrenching pain of separation and death, but also this most sincere and ordinary longing."

    I think this one fits the bill perfectly. There's very little romance, almost none in the early stages. 🌸 The female lead is consistently very powerful (among her peers). She possesses a proud and unrestrained nature, yet she doesn't look down on others. The male lead is also very powerful, though slightly weaker than her. Their cultivation progresses together. 🍃 This book is good; it has a romantic pairing, and both characters are growth-oriented. The female lead is a prodigy from a sect, and the male lead comes from the mortal realm. He unexpectedly gains a fortuitous opportunity to begin cultivating immortality, later joining the female lead's sect and becoming a disciple. Not long after, evil cultivators and other forces invade the sect, resulting in its massacre and the female lead's death. The male lead unexpectedly gains a fortuitous opportunity to collect the female lead's primordial spirit, revive her, and begin the path to restoring the sect.

Even if you don't read it, you have to read the first book by Feng Xi, "Debo Debo."
