Don't authors these days have any knowledge about height and weight? You're 184cm tall and weigh 120kg? Where did this weakling come from? Please accept this!
Brothers, the female lead must be glamorous! Everyone, please agree!
It's evident that the author possesses considerable knowledge and literary skill; however, these recent works have been somewhat disappointing. There seems to be an overemphasis on the protagonist's background and the resulting reactions, which can easily lead to a negative reading experience. Hopefully, the author can tone down the background descriptions in future works and enhance the characters' depth. Best wishes to the author for continued creative inspiration and brilliant writing!
You're already one of the Eight Immortals, destined to become an immortal, yet you still need a cheat code? Do you want to be the Jade Emperor?
What you keep in mind will eventually come to pass.
Next time you write about cultivation novels, don't write about famous people. Han Xiangzi's path has basically been arranged by the higher-ups; this isn't appropriate for you.
To be honest… every chapter title makes me think it's a climax, but then it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot… It's really frustrating. Also, there are too many side stories for supporting characters that don't connect to the main character's storyline; it's unnecessary. And there's the misuse of words and idioms. The most disgusting thing is Pu Songling's quote.
After reading a few chapters, my head is starting to ache. Maybe I've been reading too many mindless wish-fulfillment novels. You're supposed to be cultivating immortality, yet a mere mortal family branch struggles like this? So all you know is healing the sick and catching ghosts, huh? Forget about the Samadhi Fire or anything, at least know how to throw fireballs, right?
Absolutely no dull moments, no surprises. Utterly unremarkable. It feels like a mundane, diary-like novel—what's the point? Like a primary school student's essay. Plain and unremarkable.
The rest of the story relentlessly focuses on the protagonist's identity as a disciple of Laozi, which becomes aesthetically tiring to read. Every time someone learns that the protagonist is Laozi's grand-disciple, they're surprised and astonished. What? Did he cultivate immortality and become an ordinary person?
