The Road to Immortality Begins as a Hunter

This is the book I've been most looking forward to lately. A 20-year veteran reader like myself should understand; I've reached the point where I can do whatever I want 😉 If I don't like it, I'll just delete it and move on without hesitation. I'm just posting this to let the author know that the book is good and I can't get enough of it.

Some readers said that Tian Bao died in Chapter 36, which is why the protagonist is cold-blooded, and even cursed the author, which is very strange. First, after Tian Bao was injured, the protagonist spent money to hire a doctor for him, and also helped him get revenge. The protagonist's wife even gave him some good medicine.

This novel is one of the best I've ever read. At first, I thought it was one of those harem novels, but it didn't quite fit. It sounded a bit like it, though, with a protagonist who's an egotistical individual. He's decisive and ruthless, without any hesitation. Before killing an enemy, he observes their situation: what level of power do they have? What's the best time to kill them?

This novel is really good, especially the main characters. I feel that it portrays different roles such as the immortal, the mastermind behind the scenes, the player, and the participant. The plot development is also original and unconventional, avoiding the cliché of constantly fighting monsters and leveling up that is common in other novels. Xiao Xiu is also very good, a father's little darling.

I declare that this book is getting better and better. Theoretically, the hunter section at the beginning should be deleted. It was too cowardly, too effeminate, a half-baked mess, and was heavily criticized by readers. It only became normal later on. If it had been done like this earlier, it could have retained at least half as many readers. The first twenty or thirty chapters of the Hunter section are all flaws and toxic elements; it would be best to delete them entirely.

The author is amazing! The several maps and plot lines that have been revealed so far are all very well laid out and concluded in a reasonable way! The level of foreshadowing and subtle clues is on par with some older novels, and it's much better than some of the current leveling-up and monster-slaying filler stories.

The plot following Blood Saber Ancestor has a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual feel, but this kind of pseudo-intellectualism doesn't align with contemporary people's thoughts and interests, and the pseudo-intellectualism is even more neither fish nor fowl. The cheat function is more like a joke.

The power levels in this book are ridiculously absurd. The nine ranks throughout are acceptable, 7-9 are passable, 4-6 are barely passable, and 1-3 are simply unreadable. Seeing the ending, the second rank is considered to be gods and demons, saints, and the first rank is the Heavenly Dao. It gave me goosebumps. Under normal circumstances, would a single level like the Heavenly Dao be included?

The beginning was well-written, but when it came to marrying to kill the emperor, I felt something was off. One can marry for beauty, for profit, or even for personal gain. But marrying to kill, turning celebratory red into blood red, is something I don't really like. He's not weak; he had the means to kill the emperor, yet he chose the most despicable method. Dude, you're a cheat, not some ruthless old monster who'll stop at nothing.

Having read this far, it's one of my favorite novels. The beginning is so-so, but the world, realms, characters, and everything else unfolds beautifully later on. It gives you a sense of sudden enlightenment. I'm currently following this book for the first time; if I had the money, I'd already have the Silver Alliance. Especially the chapter about transforming into a mortal—it's a complete elevation of the story. It's the crowning touch of the entire novel.
