Dao Lord Chu Jing

No cheat codes, no plot knowledge, starting from scratch. You have all the reasons why fanfiction doesn't go viral, what a pity. Discard it. 🧐

When I read "The Record of Extinction of Fortune" back then, I also had a feeling that the cultivation system was too deliberate. It lacked the natural feeling of a hundred flowers blooming and all roads leading to Rome. It was as if the Creator set all the rules when creating the world, and the cultivation system was the pinnacle at its birth. No matter how talented people were later, they could only make repairs within this framework and could not find any other way.

Calling him the Holy Mother Daoist would be more fitting. The protagonist truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the Quanzhen Sect, having mastered the eclectic blend of Buddhism and Taoism. If he weren't wearing a Taoist robe, he would be a monk.

Having read up to chapter 49 of volume 2, I found it hard to continue. I remember the author saying that his storytelling skills weren't great, so he borrowed plots from classic novels. But I never expected that the protagonist he wrote would be practically irrelevant.

I don't understand why the protagonist has to get involved in politics. It's not like he's plotting anything or that it helps his cultivation.

The writing is very stiff, lacking any ethereal quality, and the protagonist is indecisive. For some, the use of Taoist terminology might be a plus, but I'm not a big fan. In some places, it's completely superfluous, making the plot feel disjointed and lacking in enjoyment. I find it frustrating and should be abandoned.

It's disgusting. At the very beginning, people were about to kill him, but he actually let them go. I don't believe someone who has cultivated immortality would be so brainless.

What a waste of such a good title and synopsis. It's all just a pretty surface. The title, "The first rays of dawn change the prevailing winds, the new yang replaces the old yin," made me think it was about Taoist reform or a revolution in cultivation systems. Turns out, it's just a very basic, simple story.

No cheat codes, no plot knowledge, meticulous, frugal, fanfiction, relying on one's own talent to cultivate, too many technical jargon—you've got all the elements that make fanfiction fail. How could it possibly be popular? Do you think reading a novel is more immersive because of cheat codes or because of extraordinary talent? Even the Celestial Venerable of the Destruction Stone has cheat codes or cheat abilities, yet this protagonist doesn't...

Some people these days, even when it's a good book, just like to criticize it. It's all so murky and unpleasant.
