The Dao Stands Equal to Heaven

There is no such thing as a mortal destiny, no such thing as a fairy named Gu Wen. It is nothing more than a mortal tribulation of inner demons fabricated by the ancestor of inner demons, Mo Luo, for the living immortal Li Changsheng.

This book still has tens of thousands of subscriptions? Qidian is hopeless. I wouldn't read it even if it were given to me for free. It's written in a 20-year-old style, with the feel of an ancient online novel. A waste of time.

Really?

Before Yu Hua's death, there was passion and moments of boasting and face-slapping. In short, in my opinion, it was a gem. But it lost its flavor after leaving the small world; the author's pretentious literary tendencies kicked in. Every time a book does slightly better, the author gets cocky and pretentious, thinking he's become a god, and then he deviates from the main plot.

This is what I imagined when I was reading the novel.

Bro, to be honest, I really like the logic in your book. But your setup and plot progression are flawed. The Dao Foundation setting is very sophisticated, but it conflicts with the plot. If one's foundation in Dao and cultivation level advance simultaneously, the plot becomes easier to write.

The protagonist becomes increasingly invincible and powerful, yet the more you read, the more oppressive it becomes. He's always invincible in the current phase, and always faces an endless stream of enemies in the next. His friends and companions multiply, but their fates become increasingly dire. The deeper you immerse yourself in the story, the more you feel the protagonist suffocating.

If the protagonist's name were still Li Yi or Li Changsheng, it wouldn't affect new readers' reading experience; instead, it would unexpectedly spark heated discussions among existing readers in the comments section. Furthermore, new readers might be drawn in out of curiosity and check out "The Immortal Just Wants to Lie Down." A win-win situation 🤭

I'm just an ordinary reader who subscribed to the entire book. You think I've wasted my dozen or so monthly votes? I can't afford to comment, so I'll just avoid you. I wrote hundreds of words trying to ask about the content, not even expecting the author's reply, discussing it with other readers, or seeing if everyone agrees. Fine, they won't even let me discuss a minor character go unpunished.

I've finished reading it. The early part, where he's hiding in the imperial city, was quite good. It portrayed the normal state of a minor character's life after transmigrating, which was really well done. However, things started to go wrong when he started searching for the elixir of immortality.
