The comments on this list reflect only my personal impressions. If you disagree, I agree with you, because sometimes I look back and disagree with my own comments too. Some books start strong but fall apart later. I'm also pretty lazy, and editing the list means waiting for approval. Going back and forth is too much trouble, so I'll just leave it as is.

I've read over 40 chapters, is this supposed to be a cultivation world? There are no storage bags, not to mention at least some kind of storage talisman. Every time, they're carrying a huge bundle like ordinary people. Also, cultivators can't dispose of corpses; they don't know fireball spells or fireball talismans, and they have to drag the bodies outside the city to bury them. I feel like this is a low-level martial arts world. 😆😆
He abandoned what he thought was incredibly cheesy: his female neighbor suddenly calling him "husband." They got together. Is this a cultivation novel? This is so outrageous! So toxic!
Here are my thoughts: This book is about survival tactics, but the protagonist isn't really that cunning; he's engaged in numerous life-or-death battles. This is seriously inconsistent with the title. While he seems to be constantly hiding, it's ultimately pointless. For example, when chaos erupts in the city, he hides for a day or two before running back, only to be relentlessly hunted down.
It's all a charade; there are always major events happening, the protagonist is always at the center of the storm, constantly running around. I don't see where the charade is at all.
The latest chapter is absolutely hilarious. Is the author insulting our intelligence? Old Man Yu, a rogue cultivator who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and has a granddaughter by his side, is actually so naive and kind-hearted that he would risk his life in the forest outside the city in the middle of the night to find someone he has no relatives or friends.
I just can't understand the thought process of these authors who write cultivation fantasy novels. I've been reading them for years and still can't figure it out. How come these seemingly useless protagonists can all become immortals and ancestors? Are the geniuses in their sects less hardworking than you? Did they have fewer opportunities than you?
I only read the first 20 chapters. How to put it? It doesn't seem to have any major problems. But it's really getting tedious... It's all about whining and complaining about trivial things, turning a perfectly good cultivation novel into a petty squabble like a small-time vendor. Change the goods, and it's practically a story about urban street vendors!
Please continue reading!
Dear readers, this is a fledgling book by an 18-year-old new author, please help me follow along! Although the recommendation mechanism has changed, following the content remains the most important factor. Thank you so much!
The setting of being stuck at the Nascent Soul stage in the Ascension Valley is too cruel. Which Nascent Soul cultivator hasn't emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood? To put it bluntly, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, none of them are afraid of death. This kind of restrictive setting forces people to be righteous and selfless for the common people, which is too forced and makes me uncomfortable and discourages me from watching!
Seeing people try to become invincible by playing defensively is hilarious; they'll end up like dogs. No overlord has ever risen to power through such tactics. Even if you become the best at playing defensively, you won't be afraid of encountering someone even stronger. Forget about being invincible; playing defensively is just cowardly. Isn't being a turtle better?
