The One and Only Qi Refiner

Having read about half of it, here are my personal thoughts: Honestly, even Shennong (a legendary Chinese scientist) couldn't survive a time-travel novel written like this. The protagonist's character setup, the cultivation method setup—internal strength relies on comprehension, external strength relies on physical potential—and the protagonist can't learn either internal or external skills, it's…

Judging from the title, I thought it really was the only extraordinary being. But then it mentions a martial artist and an otherworldly being. I'm speechless. Can't the protagonist just be the only extraordinary being, and then it's just an ordinary ancient fantasy world with a martial arts master who can only defeat a hundred men at most? It's so unsatisfying, a complete rip-off.

The protagonist and his family lived together for so many years, only to have them all die. It's written like a story about strangers. During the great famine, the protagonist didn't try a single way to increase his income. Don't tell me the protagonist is young; if he were young, how come he was stealing things after just a few chapters? And he was successful every time!

This book is toxic... Ah, it's a bit unfair to say this from a secondary account, so let's stick to the facts... The toxicity is mainly concentrated in Chapter 11... To put it simply, the author doesn't understand the relationship between selling oneself into slavery and being employed...

I dropped it. I couldn't finish chapter 20. All their family members died. They can't blame the times; they can only blame themselves. Hiding their abilities led to the deaths of their family. During the pandemic, they didn't know to stay away from crowds. They had the ability to get food, yet they didn't hide. All their actions felt like a forced attempt to lower their intelligence for later plot developments.

Qi cultivators train their minds, while you might as well write that the only physical cultivators are those who, the stronger they are, the less intelligent they become. You're only developing muscles, not your brain. In some cases, it even suppresses the brain, turning one into an idiot. Qi cultivation, on the other hand, enhances the primordial spirit, leading to divine understanding.

The author should just find a factory job; his IQ is getting lower and lower.

I won't read any more Level 1 authors; I'll wait until I reach Level 5.

The first ten chapters were okay, just the protagonist's life was a bit tragic, but not to the point of being tortured. Then his grandfather was beaten and his food was stolen. "Let them go"? Who let them go? Did they leave them any food? Suddenly he becomes a saint, so toxic. Seriously, the protagonist's fighting ability was insufficient? Are you kidding me?

This protagonist is utterly useless, lazy, and lacks any of the ambition of a modern person. All he has left is superhuman strength and an iron body. Why don't you just write about a cow as the protagonist? Even a pig seems smarter than you.
