The Patriarch Is Useless!

Looking at your description, it's ridiculous that someone at the Golden Core stage is still being suppressed. There's absolutely no exciting part to it, and I don't even want to click to read it. I suggest you revise it.

The book review was deleted three times. The writing style is quite good, but it lacks a strong element, something called "positive energy empowerment." On Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), every cult classic inevitably writes about romance, every ordinary person inevitably writes about hard work, and every struggling individual inevitably writes about helping others. Why?

Brother, may you rest in peace. Consider these two monthly tickets as a token of my respect; don't think it's too little. I haven't read the finale yet, but I feel this story shouldn't end. I wish you, fellow cultivator, eternal life after traversing the cultivation world.

🙄To summarize, even though the writing and plot are decent, it's unreadable because the protagonist is genuinely useless, and his cheat abilities are practically nonexistent. Most importantly, the cultivation environment is dark; while it doesn't torture the protagonist, it's constantly on the verge of oppression, and the occasional satisfying moments can't mask the oppressive atmosphere.

The reason this book isn't popular is that the protagonist is genuinely too weak. I initially thought he was only superficially weak but actually very strong, but it turns out he's genuinely weak. Honestly, giving him two more major power-ups wouldn't be unreasonable. Writing web novels requires depth to avoid being purely entertaining, and vice versa. If you abandon some of the entertaining elements without offering enough depth, you can't just pass off vague statements as profound.

This is an extremely, extremely, extremely interesting book, one of the most interesting among the few ancient cultivation novels I've read. Who says cultivation has to be all fighting and constantly changing maps? If the cultivation world were constantly changing maps, what would be the point of sects and major factions? If you're lacking something, just steal it!

I initially thought it was a character pretending to be stupid, but it turns out he's genuinely stupid. Often, if you intervene beforehand, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did. Some things aren't truly without hope of recovery. The book is titled "Incompetence," and before reading it, I thought it was about helplessness under the weight of circumstances. After reading it, I realized the protagonist is truly incompetent.

Chapter 19: The protagonist is in seclusion during a breakthrough attempt when he's ambushed, but luckily escapes unscathed. Upon emerging, he's attacked again to silence him, and then, incredibly, the protagonist accepts some bribes and agrees to let him go... I glanced at the table of contents, and it seems he genuinely and quietly lets it go... Speechless. This is so frustrating.

Are there any novels similar to this one? They're good, and they remind me of the old novels like "The Great Dao Contest," where it's not just about increasing magical power and leveling up.

The writing is spot on. The protagonist is genuinely cautious, not the kind who pretends to be cautious but then tries to act cool and reckless, or uses various excuses to go on adventures and fights. He rarely encounters dangerous situations, and there are rarely any villains targeting him (there are some, but they're within my acceptable range).
