The writing is alright, but it somewhat ruins the ethereal quality of classic Xianxia (fantasy/cultivation) stories. The names given to the protagonist's cultivation techniques are terrible—things like "Climbing Technique," "Sun-Burning Technique," "Fire-Sitting and Flame-Eating Technique," "Prayer Technique," and "Cute Head Technique."
The protagonist is just too naive and impulsive. If he were to encounter a cunning and ruthless villain, he would probably be devoured without a trace.
Cultivating immortality and discussing the Dao, dealing with foxes, ghosts, and human affairs. Reading it inevitably brings to mind Pu Songling's *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, except that Pu Songling tells stories from a human perspective, while this author tells stories from a demon's perspective. Very much like *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, it's gradually becoming captivating, and I hope the author keeps up the good work and perseveres.
To be fair, the book is written in a light and airy style, yet it's also very humane. There aren't many books about foxes cultivating Taoism, and your book is a pleasure to read. The only drawback is that it's not spicy enough. Please write more "bahaha" while maintaining your standard.
The book is good. Whether you're a human or an immortal, you should be carefree and happy, not just knowing how to kill, fight, and plunder. In your book, I saw a different kind of fox spirit, no longer just about leveling up by fighting monsters.
It's really fantastic! I'm so tired of those cultivation/harem/dual cultivation novels. This is excellent!
She's a nouveau riche local who acts like everyone's her friend.
Please add a female lead, author! We'd like a cultivation partner, 😋 I want a protective wife!
The beginning was really good, but the cultivation theme disappeared later on. Of course, it was still quite enjoyable.
It's very well-written, but Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) is only recommending really bad books; they don't recommend the truly good ones.
