I Forge My Way to the Dao in the Cultivation Realm

It feels like the suppression on the main character is a bit too harsh, and the suppression of the "enlightenment" attribute is increasing exponentially, which is terrifying. In the future, it may be that you can't be "enlightened" even once every few years, so it's as good as nothing.

This book feels like a hodgepodge, starting strong but ending weakly, or perhaps a poorly written sequel. I've read up to chapter 173 so far, and the titles give you a good idea of ​​what's to come. At the beginning, I thought it was a traditional cultivation novel with a system, featuring its own settings in the Spirit Opening and Myriad Spirit Realms.

Personally, I think this cultivation novel is very well written. Many cultivation novels nowadays just pile up resources without any real understanding; they're purely materialistic. Some even use gangster-style cultivation methods, involving all sorts of evil deeds. Others use systems where the protagonist becomes a mere support character. These three types lack any sense of immortality. Even if you're not expected to save all living beings, you should at least do good for the world.

While it might not be considered a masterpiece, the author's effort in overcoming the clichéd cultivation novel formula is evident in the somewhat immature writing style. Many of the settings are the result of careful consideration and refinement, which is quite impressive! Furthermore, the plot becomes increasingly richer with each chapter.

Did they change the author midway through the book? The moment Zhao Huo'er appeared in the beginning, the protagonist's character immediately changed from timid to dissolute, and then after his senior sister's easy surrender, he completely became a lecherous scoundrel. There was no trace of ethereal beauty; instead, the urban atmosphere became increasingly strong, which was a bit off-putting.

I quite like the genre of stories that focus on reason and logic, but the author's inclusion of the conflict between theory and practice is too illogical and feels forced in an attempt to create tension. This is fundamentally different from the sword qi dispute. The Ben and Yi factions may have different ideologies, but cultivating immortality is a very personal thing.

The novel is alright, I read it in one go, but I always felt there was something wrong with the pacing. During the Foundation Establishment stage, they practically crammed everything onto the protagonist, with new things, new worldviews, and new characters appearing one after another. The transition from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core even involved Immortal Lords.

After Zhen'er appeared, the characters' logic and the plot's pacing gradually went out of control. A feel-good novel that makes you feel awkward is no longer enjoyable.

It left a bunch of obvious plot holes and was written in a very drawn-out, tedious way. The author's Qi Refining level was treated like a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the early chapters already felt like an abandoned novel, giving the impression of a flop.

Do you think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your identity? You old eunuch.
