Given these update times and performance, I suspect the author is considering cutting back, so I'll offer my preemptive criticism. The title initially piqued my interest because I thought it would be an urban fantasy story set in a North American city, focusing on the novelty of cultural clashes and competitive mismatches. The first story certainly demonstrated this effect…
The police are just some kind of ambiguous, insinuating official; I hate these kinds of short stories. It's supposed to be a modern city, but these so-called "officials" or "government officials" are just... Weird and insinuating.
I found the storyline involving that Daoist Bird True Lord quite unpleasant. The protagonist went through two dungeons, and each time the protagonist did all the work while that Daoist Bird True Lord just watched and reaped all the benefits, leaving the protagonist with only scraps at the end.
After reading the latest chapter, I learned that the male protagonist created by the author is named Qiu Sheng, the same name as Uncle Nine. Combining the two, the story is set in the United States in the last year or two, and it includes the themes of "Black Lives Matter" and the "pandemic." In my opinion, the shortcomings are also obvious. It is not a unique approach.
Taoist priests' main occupation was mostly to cut down mountains and destroy temples, and to kill evil spirits and cultists.
I was hooked from the very first chapter; it felt like an unnatural, simplistic plot with a forced sense of intelligence. I can't concentrate, bye-bye.
One has to admit that novels are inspired by reality.
There are over 34,000 Taoist priests in the United States...
This author is biased, run!
Holy crap, this is amazing! The opening line is overflowing with personal opinions; it's something I absolutely didn't intend to attract casual readers.
What's most annoying is when a traditional cultivation story is going well, and suddenly a scientific cultivation twist pops up.
