The Dao Seed of Immortality

Having read over fifty chapters, I have some things I need to say. So far, the biggest feeling this book gives me is contradiction, especially the inconsistencies and conflicts in the protagonist's character. The protagonist gains the ability to live forever, so he plans to live cautiously and grow stronger slowly over time.

Actually, this book was really well-written at the beginning. I personally think it's a real shame that it had to be cut in the end. The core problem was that the pacing completely collapsed towards the end, and it failed to maintain the rhythm of the earlier parts. To understand the pacing issues, we first need to grasp the core appeal of the "immortality" genre. What is "immortality"?

This book is unappealing to normal people, righteous people, and even those with a demonic streak. It's neither entirely good nor evil, making it uncomfortable to read. In short, it portrays a character whose moral compass hasn't collapsed but who aspires to be a person without desires, somewhere in between, neither too high nor too low.

Aren't most of you recommended by Sanjiang? Why are you accused of being a paid shill or that the author offended someone just for commenting?

High expectations, but disappointing. I originally came here for the story of "fake eunuchs in the harem". As a result, the protagonist remained lowly for over a decade, and then a woman appeared in his harem—an empress at that. That's not all; the protagonist doesn't even have much interaction with the Empress. Outrageous!

Is this some kind of massive manipulation? A book with over 10,000 subscriptions only has this few comments?

I've only read three or four chapters, but I immediately subscribed and started commenting because I just had to get this off my chest. It's that same old empress trope again: the princess is intelligent, the prince is incompetent—it's disgusting to watch. The author clearly wanted to avoid trouble when writing the protagonist, but instead created Hai Dongqing.

Like the studio's own writing, it's bland and uninspired. The quotes are sometimes incoherent, the historical knowledge is terrible, and there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

Is it true that even cultivating for thousands or tens of thousands of years without Foundation Establishment Pills will prevent one from establishing a foundation? That's really...
