Beginning with Ancestral Evolution

Ugh, it's so awkward to include parents in a post-apocalyptic story. It just feels like parents aren't suited to the apocalypse, giving the protagonist two extra weaknesses and giving enemies more ways to deal with them. If they're part of a team, they can easily become a burden.

The first forty chapters of this book are great! But the later chapters are really melodramatic 🔪. They introduce a young master from some powerful family, a collateral branch, who has the ability to listen to everyone's cell phone data at any time 😤😤😤. And not only has this young master evolved elemental abilities, but what's worse is that having elemental abilities isn't enough; he can also mentally enslave others 🔪🔪🔪

This is a really good novel. It's been a long time since I've read one this well. At least this one has a decent protagonist. These days, many novels have protagonists who rely purely on system cheats and are essentially useless. It's far worse than before. The writing is good, author, but this style feels risky. 😢

Seeing that flashback scene made me wonder, what is the purpose of cultivating immortality? Forgetting parents, forgetting children, not needing to eat, not needing to drink, not needing to find women, only seeking immortality. If that's all they want, wouldn't it be better to just become a thinking stone? It's much better than risking everything in human form.

Is there any investment involved?

The protagonist, as the creator of the Dao, is quite good; it's just that the two female leads have too much screen time, which is a drag.

I couldn't even get through the first chapter. Five hundred years ago they could launch satellites, and five hundred years later they're reading novels on mobile phones—this technological evolution is truly amazing!

The concept is great, very good, but the plot is terrible. In realistic rural areas, parents are incredibly proud when their son passes the civil service exam, but in a post-apocalyptic world, the protagonist is radiating divine light and becoming an immortal, yet the parents and villagers' perceptions of him remain completely unchanged.

The author's skill level is evident in the fact that even a two-sentence summary cannot be properly punctuated.

What is this even about? It's all the same old clichés, I'm speechless.
