A Hidden Paradise in the Thatched Cottage

Hilarious! Looking back after ages, the author finally gave in and reverted to his old ways. Writing about what he's good at is fine, but he fell back into his old habits. A dignified True Lord, in his own grotto-heaven territory, with so many disciples, was shot to death by a hail of arrows from the imperial army. Hahahaha, what's so great about being an immortal?

I can tolerate the "humanity first" part, but how come several of the experts who cultivated to the level of Human Immortal were killed by muskets? I'm not reading this book anymore. Is this what you call cultivating immortality? This is more like the Boxer Rebellion!

He's been writing for over a decade, fifteen or sixteen books, and only one is barely considered excellent. You say he's underrated? Who's underrated? The reader market is the fairest; whoever writes well becomes popular. With his writing style unchanged for over a decade, his imagination has become rigid and stagnant.

The author's ideas are truly unique and his concepts are truly unconventional. Volume Two Chapter 42 The official selection of disciples is so lax that it only chooses troubled children. This move is amazing! Moreover, they didn't warn the protagonist before giving it to him.

This book is hopeless. It was slightly toxic before, but the last two chapters, the part about the orphan taking on a disciple, are extremely toxic. Editor, please don't recommend this book to me again. It's so annoying.

It feels like there are deities in the dilapidated temple in front of us?

Seriously, is this author trying to be disgusting? Don't insult the word "immortal" in your novels, okay? Just change your so-called "human immortal realm" to something like the "bone refining realm"—after all, you can get shot for that. Why not just make up your own realm? You have no skill, yet you insist on using the word "immortal" to your advantage.

In mainstream novels, all sorts of gods and immortals are omnipotent, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, but in your story, they all get shot to death. Are you kidding me? You insist on going against the mainstream; no wonder your novel flopped.

Xue Manlin is one of the few remaining authors still writing in the Qi Luck genre. His books contain some disgusting plots, lack a grand scope, and are severely anti-intellectual. He often compares cultivation to technology, which is quite nauseating. Hopefully, there will still be books in the Qi Luck genre to read; it's not easy to find them now.

The author of this book is a typical example of someone who peaked at the beginning of his career but then declined as his career progressed. The first book, "Becoming a Charlatan in the Late Northern Song Dynasty," was merely a somewhat unique and somewhat dry read, but the second book, "The Legend of Immortals in the Six Dynasties," was well-written, at least above the level of dry read, and…
