I Regret Refining the Elixir of Immortality

I just hope there's no female lead in this one thing.

So far, this book is still to my liking. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is interesting. After being used to rich, heavy meals, a simple meal is refreshing. If you maintain this level and keep updating, and if you get a triple recommendation, you can keep readers engaged and hopefully it will become a top-tier book in the long run.

For example, if Ox-Head and Horse-Face appeared in front of you, would you still say that the real world is just a technological world? They talk about martial arts all the time, but they don't know anything about cultivating immortality. Speechless.

Sigh, I thought that once I successfully concocted the elixir and gained immortality, I'd be chased by all sorts of monsters, wander the streets, and experience a series of interesting events in this mortal world. But instead, a chat group appeared—an elixir-making exchange group—and nobody talks about elixirs! Wouldn't it be better if everyone just used the knowledge of the old alchemist to develop new elixirs? Ugh, this whole book is a mess.

From the author's answer, it's clear they might be a bit out of touch with common sense. Perhaps the author felt these two terms were hard to connect, so they gave an analogy: Heavenly soldiers and generals don't necessarily mean a Heavenly Emperor; they're not fundamentally related. Does that seem problematic?

People's preferences don't always align; your meticulously designed cultivation system might just seem like filler to others. A lengthy introduction to the cultivation system will only deter readers; they'll either want to read the literary scenes, with their engaging plots, or the action scenes, with their exciting fight sequences. It's really boring to keep going on and on about the world-building.

Having read novels for over a decade, finding something readable these days is difficult. This book, however, is enjoyable to me. Everyone has their own interpretation of Harry Potter, so the author simply didn't understand your enjoyment level and it's not for you... It's still pretty good. With so much pressure these days, let's not nitpick... With this time, I can find another readable book. 😁

High emotional intelligence:** Low emotional intelligence: Have you ever considered becoming a tragic actor?

The plot in these first dozen or so chapters is getting nauseating. It's so annoying how they're forcing this title on her. There's clearly nothing wrong, and it's been explained that it's an apology. Plus, the protagonist doesn't understand, and the woman isn't that old either. Isn't this ruining her reputation? In ancient times, reputation was extremely important. How will she get married after this? Won't they change it?

It's quite toxic, but the problem is that the protagonist lacks class, as do his chat group teammates; they all feel cheap. And constantly offering unconditional help makes readers uncomfortable. Effort and reward should be balanced, especially for the protagonist, who needs to reap a 200% return to maintain reader satisfaction.
