   I hope everyone can read it patiently. This book is really, really good. The author's writing style is very vivid in describing the characters. Each character has his/her own characteristics, story and background. It is definitely not just something written casually to fool people. The plot development, the various events involving the protagonist and the development of related characters, and the various foreshadowing are all definitely not the kind of old and clichéd plots that you usually read!

   In a fantasy cultivation novel, the protagonist obtains an immortality sign-in system, gaining one attribute point each year to enhance his strength. In the early stages, he focuses on survival and development, relying on immortality to wear down his enemies when he can't win, and incidentally destroying their ancestral graves to vent his anger. Later, he becomes almost invincible, but he still loves to take advantage of small things, and his skill in destroying people's ancestral graves hasn't diminished either.

   It's quite good. Better than most of Tomato's (a popular Chinese web novel platform) apprenticeship stories. As for the claim that accepting three disciples directly is "toxic," perhaps they're blind; they didn't actually accept any disciples at all beforehand. They were just kept for observation. What I think is "toxic" is that the protagonist's cultivation level isn't emphasized much. It's not suitable for those who like invincible protagonists slapping faces and mindless light novels. I recommend it to those who enjoy watching the disciples grow rather than focusing too much on the protagonist.

   I highly recommend this book, it's really good! The female lead isn't love-obsessed, but career-driven, a real workaholic. It's truly different from other cultivation novels, it's really good. 🤤 The female lead transmigrates into cannon fodder, and to avoid the main character, she enters the worst sect, only to stumble into a group of crazy senior brothers on the verge of turning evil—a vengeful Asura, a descendant of the demon race, a useless demon lord, a lovelorn simp—each one destined to be a villain. The female lead helps her senior brothers and sisters change their fate, and behind their sect's fate is a hidden hand pushing things along. The later parts are really detailed, with many plot twists. I won't go into too much detail, but from being lost souls to fighting side-by-side, they rewrite their destiny with passion and warm their cultivation path with camaraderie. The final line, "Everyone is here," is the most touching promise the young people made after overcoming all kinds of difficulties. This cultivation journey was worth it! It's really super good!
