Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f

Many people have questions about concubines, so let me explain in the first few chapters. The original owner had no children and no legal wife, or rather, she was no longer alive. Many people say that in ancient times, concubines had no status and could not inherit the family fortune, let alone threaten the original owner to this extent.
Having read this far, I feel this novel is refreshingly unique within the cultivation genre. Aside from a few minor flaws in the early chapters, it gets better and better as it progresses. I will definitely follow it to the end. The overall plot is well-structured, the characters are intelligently drawn, the author's writing is delicate, and the character and psychological descriptions are well…
Aside from changing the protagonist's age to an elderly man in his seventies, everything else is just a rehash of the same old thing. It doesn't capture the essence of the word "seventies." A young soul paired with a body covered in age spots and reeking of old age looks really awkward!
I just discovered that the main character's label is "cautious," I'll just laugh first.
This protagonist isn't very bright. Knowing in Blood Wolf City that the Hidden Fox had been discovered and that he should have run, he actually ran back to the market town he'd visited before—the market town of the Spirit Beast Sect disciples, the place where he first appeared. It was difficult to track him down and very safe.
The writing is good, but the idea of someone becoming invincible immediately after starting to cultivate immortality is unacceptable to many. Even in a game, you need skill levels; this is too far-fetched. It's unacceptable.
Chapter Six: The guards and concubines attempt to kill the protagonist. During a sensitive period of family property transfer, they risk poisoning a half-dead old man and even attempt to kill him with a sword. If the clan discovers the traces of the corpse, this despicable couple would undoubtedly be killed.
The concept is okay, but it's unreadable. The premise is repetitive and there are too many self-contradictory points. A few are fine, but too many really affect the reading experience. For example, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator can't see through a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although the author repeatedly emphasizes the word "old," the reader never gets to feel, through the text, the idea that being old and not dead is thievery, or any sense of wisdom, spirit, or mentality.
Knowing there's danger, they hesitate for ages, but when given spirit stones and magic weapons, they rush off eagerly. And in almost every group battle, they're constantly suppressed, yet they don't run away. Then the protagonist unleashes his power, becoming the turning point. This kind of plot is just nauseating.
