The Only One with Magic: The World's Sole Immortal

The author's writing is terrible; it's disgusting to read. The protagonist is written like a nouveau riche, a poor loser who suddenly loses all his manners and discipline.

The protagonist claims to have attained enlightenment through the principle of "acting without striving," but does he truly refrain from striving? When faced with adversaries, does he not respond with a magnanimous smile, like water that flows on despite the ripples in the wind? His conduct in dealing with others is also lacking. This supposedly enlightened person seems even more vulgar than an old woman; if someone bites you, you bite them back.

After cultivating immortality, he completely let himself go, practicing magic in broad daylight on the street! Doesn't that count as a drop in intelligence?

The author really can't write anything anymore. First, there's the scene where he gets involved himself, then there's the story of impersonation in the college entrance exam in the old days, and then there's the classic scene where a sports car hits someone and saves a mother and daughter.

Even writing it as "The Homelander" would be more appealing than this, which is neither fish nor fowl.

Having read up to chapter 50, here are my thoughts. The idea behind this book is quite good, but unfortunately there are too many pretentious and face-slapping scenes, which I can't stand. I guess it's not for me.

It feels weird. Just because the missile wasn't aimed at the protagonist, the protagonist felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that what he did in the past was recognized. "You're an immortal, aren't you?" Is the next step to start bestowing immortal magic?

I've read most of the "I Am the Only One" novels on Qidian, though I might not have seen or searched for some. This "sudden enlightenment" premise was pretty good, and it was good at first too; the slice-of-life style definitely suits my taste. But in the last ten or so chapters, I can only laugh. There's no real excitement. I think even a forced display of power would be better than this.

Even a dog attained enlightenment! It's not a unique path!

The writing about showing off and getting slapped in the face is very poor, but the part about cultivating magic is quite well written. If you skip the parts about showing off, this is a pretty good urban fantasy novel.
