Um... Since you've already decided she's just a friend, why help her improve her understanding of the Great Dao? I don't understand. Even if it's not a case of gratitude turning into enmity, women are the most fickle. Between becoming an immortal and love, they almost always choose immortality. What's the point of doing this?
Good books
I can't come up with long, elaborate praises, but I can still say what needs to be said. The writing is excellent, the plot is coherent and smooth, there's not much explanation, and personally, I don't find any major flaws. Next, for those who decide whether to stay or leave based on their interest in reading posts, I will summarize the first five chapters of this novel:
We are both wanderers in blue robes, each writing with our own unique perspective on life's journey. Congratulations to this outstanding newcomer; may you persevere!
Regarding Chapter 73, the protagonist's direct confrontation with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada seems excessive, a move that drew sharp criticism from reader Hanxi. However, I'm pleased, as previous reviews have shown that Hanxi is a thoughtful reader who raises insightful questions. I will briefly explain here my writing approach in this chapter.
Seeing a master calculate a specific date and year for accepting disciples, etc., Makes me lose interest. If a person's fate is predetermined, what's the point of seeking immortality or pursuing the Tao?
The romantic subplots for the main character are too drawn out. There's no need for so many scenes of unrequited love between women, let alone the cultivation deviation—it's ridiculous. One subplot would have sufficed; the plot should focus more on cultivation techniques and battles. Otherwise, it lacks flow and negatively impacts reader engagement. This isn't pure literature; there's no need for such extensive and convoluted emotional build-up!
The book is good, but I have a suggestion: the names of the spells are really terrible. Things like "Cloud and Rain Spell," "Ice Cone Spell," and "Fireball Spell" are awful. These are names you'd find in a beginner's book; they shouldn't be in this one. Names like "The Mysterious Scripture of All Heavens" and "The Secret Palace's Three Primal Divine Thunder" are much better.
This is giving me a headache, it's like writing poetry. The plot is only briefly mentioned; I've written how the story unfolds, so you can interpret the details yourself... I'm not a reading comprehension expert, and this writing is so flowery. It deviates from the essence of online novels.
The first part I couldn't get through was the cultivation realms. The fact that the major and minor realms had the same name was a point of contention I'd never encountered before. I'm impressed. The second part that I couldn't get through was the forced scheming and intrigue.
Well, the biggest problem with this book is that the enemies can't die. Even when we have the advantage, we can't kill them. Even when our true immortals kill our primordial spirits, we still can't kill them. Even when we surround them, we still can't kill them. We can't even kill a random demonic cultivator. It's unreadable.
