    Reader note

    Tired of the scheming and bitter resentment common in cultivation novels, "Me, an Honest Man, You Want Me to Cultivate Immortality?" By That Cat and That Dog offers a refreshing change. Whether you're a novice reader new to fantasy or a seasoned fan, this book is likely to appeal to your tastes. Beginner-Friendly: Zero Barrier to Understanding. Many fantasy newcomers worry about the complex realm divisions and settings, but this book completely eliminates that concern. The protagonist, Hao Youtian, is an honest and simple man who unexpectedly enters the world of cultivation after being bound to the "Honest Man System." The core concepts of cheat codes and realms are presented in a simple and easy-to-understand way, requiring minimal thought, allowing even novice readers to easily follow the plot. Anti-Truthful Delight: Honesty Comes with Divine Help. For fantasy enthusiasts, the book's anti-truthless premise is very appealing. Unlike other works where the protagonist gains opportunities through fierce battles, Hao Youtian's path to cultivation relies entirely on his "honesty." His sincerity and honesty led to many humorous situations, and every opportunity he gained was closely related to his "honest" character. Perhaps because he was too honest, he inadvertently solved a millennia-old mystery in the cultivation world, allowing the incomplete, low-dimensional cultivation world to upgrade to the Immortal Realm. This "unexpected yet logical" pace of advancement makes for a solid and comfortable read. The author's light and humorous narrative style is witty and lighthearted, with language very close to online slang, making it easy to read without any pressure. There are no melodramatic or tragic storylines; the protagonist's cultivation journey is more like a wondrous adventure full of surprises and unexpected events, perfect for relaxing reading in short bursts of free time. If you're a beginner looking to get into fantasy, the book's easy-to-understand premise will get you hooked; if you're a fantasy enthusiast looking for a change, this unconventional, honest cultivation story will offer a unique experience.
