It's definitely getting worse and worse. Either find a proper cultivation partner, or focus on cultivation without a female lead. These frequent bouts of infatuation make him seem incredibly pathetic. He's supposed to be a genius, a prodigy! He said earlier that romance interfered with his cultivation, and now he's doing this. Is he trying to have it both ways? 😤
It feels weird, like it's trying too hard to claim a moral high ground; basically, all demons and monsters are bad.
The protagonist, only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, dares to single-handedly cause trouble for the Demon King? That's a huge drop in intelligence! Even with a powerful figure like Yan Chixia later on, your seventh-level Qi Refining cultivation isn't enough.
The whole book revolves around utilitarianism. It's not bad, but it's not my kind of book. I'm taking a break...
The part where the protagonist becomes the master of the Supreme Lord made me laugh so hard. He just keeps causing trouble every day. I'd be surprised if he even became a disciple.
Having read Chapter 23, Lanruo Temple has really blew me away!! You didn't save the pedestrian, which could be excused as fear of the tree demon nearby, but the Evil Priest isn't afraid of the water god at all??? Is this what you call having a high IQ? Is this a case of ulterior motives? Or is it a distorted worldview???
It's getting more and more like a beginner's novel. Was it ghostwritten or is it a product of a studio?
Seeing that the protagonist is at Qi Refining Level 7 and immediately goes to grind Lanluo Temple, I can only say that you can't use your brain when reading books these days. Is the protagonist really going to grind dungeons or just be a casualty?
Well, the beginning was pretty good, but it got worse and worse as it went on. The writing became increasingly illogical and the quality plummeted. I'm posting this today because I've already returned the book.
Well, you're already at the Seventy-Two Fiends level, but you're still stuck at the Qi Refining stage, then Foundation Establishment, and finally Golden Core. It feels really awkward. One is an ancient style, the other... Well, it's a mainstream cultivation setting. It feels like it's just wearing an ancient skin, still the mortal cultivation genre. Why don't you just write a mortal cultivation story instead? To each their own, that's all. I doubt it sounds good anyway, so I'm leaving.
