You Said You Were a Bitter Cultivator, So Why Are You Beyond All Taboos?

So, is Yao'er dead or not? If the protagonist were drained of all his energy, he'd be completely powerless; that would kill him. Without a cheat system, he'd be useless.

So far, it seems fairly standard. The main issue is why they didn't use the Discipline aspect to pull off some crazy maneuvers. And having two Discipline points is completely unnecessary; just go for something bigger, don't waste one or two Discipline points on level capping. Also, the story of the Phoenix Palace's heirs is truly disgusting.

Is this really the author of level 5? 🙂

Clickbait title! And this talk of ascetic practice? Ascetic practice cultivates the mind, not just actions.

Fantasy games these days are not like they were a few years ago; they place more emphasis on character development, and you can't just find a plot device and level up by fighting monsters to play them.

The so-called asceticism isn't about subtraction. Although I haven't read the book, judging from the synopsis, the so-called sacrifice of past life hobbies is just a different kind of pay-to-win stat boost. A true ascetic isn't about having more hobbies and giving up more; rather, it's about choosing only one thing from a vast ocean of possibilities, cultivating only one belief in one's heart. Whether it's one hobby or a hundred, they are merely irrelevant things to be discarded.

Seeing so many people criticizing me makes me feel relieved.

Whether the protagonist kills Yao'er or not is a matter of fate. Without a cheat code, if the protagonist becomes useless and his true identity is revealed, he'll likely die the same day. Women are readily available. Killing Yao'er would simply take longer—even a hundred or two chapters would be fine. But not killing her would be incredibly cruel.

Please stop criticizing me, everyone. I was a friend of the author in real life; he's gone forever.

What a thoroughly enjoyable culinary experience!
