What is the author thinking? They've obtained the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. The jade pendant can also absorb power. Why not find a decent Daoist cultivation method to start practicing the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique? Is that so difficult? Why do all these other things? It's like throwing away the sesame seeds to pick up the watermelon. Did the author not write an outline and just write whatever came to mind?
It's alright, I'd say, but the main character seems aimless.
All I can say is that Li Xunhuan's values and beliefs are no longer suitable for normal modern people. I hope this story will be finished soon; seeing this character makes me feel uncomfortable. It's unimaginable that someone could give their partner away and still be hung up on them, using the person they love as a tool while stubbornly trying to portray themselves as a devoted lover.
This author is an experienced writer who has penned several martial arts fanfictions, but the quality has steadily declined, resulting in a pretentious and self-absorbed literary style (if the author is writing out of passion, then disregard what I've said).
Read the latest chapter
It's hard to believe that Kong Neng could defeat the Dao Heart Seed Demon, who is at the ninth level of the Demon Cultivation Realm. The Dao Heart Seed Demon views all things as fluctuations, and True Qi is a fluctuation, while Innate True Qi is merely a higher level of fluctuation. In my opinion, the Longevity Formula may not be superior to the Dao Heart Seed Demon.
The Demon Seed of the Dao Heart isn't that strong; there are plenty of martial arts stronger than it. Why is the protagonist so fixated on it? Aren't other divine skills more appealing?
Having read 48 chapters, there are far too few exciting moments. The protagonist is always hesitant, the fight scenes lack excitement, and there's none of the earth-shattering, chaotic feeling one gets from a transmigrator. He has to climb the ranks from a lowly soldier, which is tiring to read. He has the Longevity Scripture but doesn't take it, and he can't cultivate due to the demonic seed in his Dao Heart, so he has to come up with a bunch of excuses. How can this keep the reader engaged?
The Little Li Flying Dagger arc was poorly written. The protagonist, clearly superior to Shangguan Jin Hong in martial arts, still had to die at his hands. Why didn't you write him dying at the hands of Long Xiaoyun?
I quickly finished reading up to chapter 42 and found it incredibly boring. The author kept highlighting the protagonist's various impressive abilities, and then that was it. His background, looks, martial arts skills, and fortuitous encounters were all written in an exaggerated and over-the-top way.
I've only written a few chapters, just obtained the Dao Heart Demon Seed, and haven't written any plot yet, and I'm already switching to a different instance. Then the dungeons have more content than the main map. The writing is alright, but I have a feeling this book will just involve grinding through dungeons to collect martial arts techniques, copying plot points, and then running out of things to write, so it'll end up with a harem and padding the word count.
