Nonsense, the premise is completely illogical, a master alchemist becoming a courtesan and selling himself.
The last two chapters have completely baffled me. Is it really true that being a bottom-of-the-barrel student means you won't get noticed if you're afraid of standing out? Besides, this isn't even considered bottom-of-the-barrel; he could have been a permanent employee, but he insisted on being a temporary one. Are temporary employees or permanent employees more likely to be criticized? Even if you can't come up with a plot, you can't just make it up randomly!
Was it really necessary to give Zeng Shifei and Xu Jing so much screen time? The main plot of this book should be about the protagonist's quest for immortality, right? These two are probably just characters in the early stages; mentioning them in a chapter or two would suffice. Devoting so many chapters to them is just too annoying. And frankly, their character development isn't even that great; why give them so much filler?
The "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" arc is a source of regret for many. Everyone hoped that "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" would have a reasonable and complete immortal realm.
Chapter 23: Knowing the mission was highly risky, why wait until completion to leave the Hundred Herbs Pavilion? Shouldn't he have just left already? He'd already found another place (the Spirit Pill Pavilion). So how did the protagonist overcome his tribulation? Through the plot? I hate this kind of forced stupidity.
Pshaw, a plagiarized book, does it even deserve to make money?
So, if it's all about alchemy and cultivation, does that mean you can only write about alchemy and live off pills? Haha.
Some fellow Daoists have suggested changing the book title. What do other fellow Daoists think?
If we were to change the name, I think either starting the path to immortality as an alchemist or starting the path to eternal life as an alchemist would be acceptable. What do you fellow cultivators think? Since there are indeed many people watching alchemy videos, I originally wanted to start with that too. However, after seeing similar videos, I decided to take a slightly different approach.
Not bad, it's quite stable so far.
It looks pretty solid, no major issues yet. Keep updating, I'll definitely keep reading! 😄
