Modern Immortality: Starting with Eight-Section Brocade

The protagonist's breakup with his girlfriend was a major turn-off; it was truly toxic, and the protagonist seemed very similar to "Chen Shimei" (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife). His girlfriend disregarded her family's objections, and despite the protagonist being nearly thirty, having no car, no house, and little savings, she was prepared to marry him.

Seeing that in chapter 55 the protagonist was going to return the money to his ex-girlfriend, but there was no other indication, made me a little uncomfortable. It takes real courage for a girl to be willing to fall out with her parents to be with the protagonist—the kind of courage even Liang Jingru (a famous Chinese singer) couldn't give.

His ex-girlfriend, his apprenticeship, and his boxing in a taxi—the values ​​he reveals step by step are unacceptable. You don't necessarily have to get your ex-girlfriend back, but the way you're handling it clearly shows that you have no feelings for this relationship at all. Learning martial arts from a master doesn't necessarily mean you have to follow their instructions exactly.

Some places are a bit poisonous. Chapters 41-42 The protagonist wants to rent a car and asks his friend Wei Biao for help. After arriving at the rental shop and signing the contract, he wants to meditate. Wei Biao takes him to the owner's office. Meditating is fine, but the protagonist also wants to practice boxing, which results in him breaking the owner's vase. Why are his hands so itchy?

There are two problematic points. First, the text mentions a deep relationship with his girlfriend, with whom he was preparing for marriage, but they broke up because of his cancer. However, after recovering, he doesn't contact her. Second, he becomes an apprentice of an old Taoist priest, but refuses to learn step-by-step. The text previously mentioned the old priest as a highly skilled master; has the protagonist become arrogant after achieving some level of spiritual cultivation?

The protagonist is hypocritical; he initiated the breakup, but his girlfriend's act of giving him her savings as an act of atonement is seen as an act of atonement. What gives you the audacity to think that not spending time with me is a crime? What kind of fairy-tale logic is this?

I even subscribed to a chapter just to criticize you. You really have a big ego 🙂. The worst part is the ex-girlfriend part. You depicted the protagonist loving her deeply, and her loving him too. The breakup itself seemed normal to me, as it's a decision made by normal people. Then, you gain the ability to cultivate and extend your lifespan, and suddenly you completely ignore your ex-girlfriend?

I'm outta here. I didn't know the author had cut parts until I saw other readers' screenshots. I now understand that the protagonist is a ungrateful and vengeful person. Looking back at his past actions, it's truly disgusting. He's a seemingly indifferent, martial arts-driven thief who seeks immortality and the Dao, but is actually selfish and greedy for fame and fortune. If it were a true thief's way, it might be watchable, but it's a fake Daoist. Disgusting! Disgusting!

I've almost finished reading the latest chapter, and I should probably rant a bit. First of all, the protagonist is incredibly annoying. You could say he's completely selfish and utterly inconsiderate of others. He acts like it's his due when others give him things, and considers giving others even the smallest piece of trash a favor.

I didn't want to watch anymore after seeing my girlfriend give me money and leave. The title is "Immortality Novel," and the protagonist's cancer problem is solved. What happens to his girlfriend? The author portrays the girlfriend as neither particularly heartless nor deeply affectionate, but rather somewhere in between, a situation that readers can understand and accept.
