The Daily Life of a Long-Lived Species
A community of long-lived beings, with little in the way of fiery passion or excitement. All they have is leisure and... wisdom. In a good story, the more everyday the scenes, the more clearly the author's elegant prose and profound ideas shine through. This is my own little corner, just a record of my reading journey. If it's not for you, please move along, and don't be abusive.

I have only one wish: to finish writing it properly. Is that alright?
I feel the protagonist's cheat ability is inspired by the Calabash Brothers. The eldest brother has immense strength and can control the heavens and earth; the second brother has clairvoyance and super hearing; the third brother is indestructible; the fourth and fifth brothers can breathe water and fire; the sixth brother is invisible; and the last one, well, the seventh brother's magic gourd…
Top-tier martial arts skills, the strength to pull an elephant backwards, and then anyone can easily fight them on equal terms—isn't this just wishful thinking? With that level of skill and power, one slap would leave the opponent with no chance to dodge. The writing is... Okay.
The protagonist of this chapter should have three paths to take. The first is to naturally rebel, consolidate power, and become emperor. The second is to help reform the national policies established by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, paving the way for the later reigns of Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons and Zhu Di, during which the country was stable, the population grew significantly, and territorial…
The name Hu Lu can be discarded; just call him by his Taoist name, Taipu.
Everything else is fine, but not many readers like the fat protagonist; the target audience is too small.
I haven't watched it yet, but I heard the pig's feet look like gourds. I wonder if that's true. 🤭🤭🤭
Leaving aside the other members of the Ming Cult, Wei Yixiao was a must-kill. The rest were simply caught up in the everyday fighting and killing of the martial world, their grudges and feuds governed by its own logic and methods. The protagonist, grounded in the deep-seated hatred between the Han Chinese and the Mongol Yuan dynasty, could remain detached and indifferent to these martial world…

After reading dozens of chapters, I really couldn't take it anymore. The protagonist is supposed to have the power to overturn elephants at the age of twelve, and he can fight people for a long time, sometimes even flipping over each other. I would consider one or two such people as top-tier characters, but he can fight anyone to a standstill. Did the author not take his own character settings seriously? It's really painful to read.
