Martial Arts Mastery: Starting as a Farmhand

The protagonist has a great mentor but insists on hiding his knowledge and refusing to learn from him, which is frustrating to watch. It's quite toxic; I suggest you don't come here to try it out.

Qidian's anti-piracy measures are now very strict, and free chapters are extremely important for attracting traffic and building a good reputation. Are you trying to ruin your career by frantically practicing your skills in free chapters? 😒

You can't even copy it properly. You're the son of a landlord, not a helpless orphan. Your master has always been loyal to your family, yet he never asks about the cultivation method. Even those who are considered useless or poor know to learn from others and seek their advice. But you, on the other hand, shut yourself off from your teachers and ignore them.

The worst part is that the protagonist practices martial arts as if he doesn't have a mouth. Even though there are elders at home who can teach him, he insists on figuring it out on his own, which makes people angrier and angrier as they watch.

Hopefully, this book won't have the same disgusting and toxic elements as the previous one. The previous sentence describes the senior sister being stunned into unconsciousness, while the next sentence describes the protagonist watching the fight with great anxiety and shock. Such inconsistencies, disjointed sentences, grammatical errors, and missing or disjointed scenes are quite common.

Why does this book have the same problem as the previous two? There's absolutely no foreshadowing for the characters' appearances. If it were just a few characters, it wouldn't be so bad, but most of them just appear abruptly and seem out of place. For example, that sect mentioned at the beginning—why not just casually mention it in the first few chapters, or when Uncle Chen casually introduces the surrounding forces? It's exhausting to read.

You're telling me a transmigrator doesn't know the energy expenditure of martial arts? The instructors told him to eat well, but then he immediately became completely drained of energy. Is the protagonist missing a screw? He doesn't eat much, yet he seems to be constantly using cheat codes; even writing a single character required him to feel dizzy.

It wasn't easy for the author to write a book at 72; both his daughters have passed away too.

It's a simple story, but it's written in a disjointed way. The protagonist seems like a mindless machine, and there are unnecessary plot points deliberately added to hinder character interaction and create conflict. Did the author learn writing techniques from TV dramas? TV dramas from about ten years ago already liked to write like that.

They don't even change the plot. I don't understand, with so many books like this already, does anyone still read them?
