[At the age of one hundred, your cultivation reaches perfection. Just as you are about to ascend, the seven great sects beyond the heavens join forces to suppress you, and you ultimately perish, your Dao extinguished.]

Lu Yuan stared blankly at the LED screen flickering in the distance. Where had this System brought him? Was this really a city?
Forget the Myriad Sword Pavilion, what even are these seven great sects...? Is he supposed to use a city-dweller's sword to cultivate immortality in another world?
“Give me a break. I don't have a wooden sword, but I do happen to have a peachwood sword!”
[Quest complete!]
“?”
And so, he embarked on the broad road to success!

“Pigeon, do you have a spare Tesla coil?”
[Quest: Reestablish the sect.]
“Uncle, this really isn't a cult! We aren't passing on any secret teachings. It's all science!”
“Ah, you want to know how I jumped from the seventh floor without a scratch, or how I can hit a target with a concealed weapon from a hundred meters away?”
“No, I mean, I'm a DIY channel uploader. It's perfectly reasonable for me to know a bit of lightness skill and a few moves, right?”

Now that I've been found out, I'm not going to act anymore.
The author is currently in kindergarten, but unfortunately awakens a literary system from 30 years in the future. In order to become a top student, he tramples on a milk dragon and punches a little robot, and is ultimately forced to make a living by writing books. However, the system's rewards are too sloppy.
This is so predictable. The awkwardness of the previous scene—the humiliation of showing off in the junkyard and the "Dragon King Returns"—hasn't even faded, and now we have this "girl grows up, suddenly moves in with me" trope.
The idea is good, but the writing is too flashy and complicated. I couldn't continue reading after a dozen chapters.
It feels like the author just wrote whatever came to mind, the main storyline wasn't prominent enough, the dungeons were uninteresting, and it was exhausting to read.
After reading a few chapters, I can conclude that it wasn't written by AI. AI isn't that abstract, which shows that AI cannot completely replace humans. 😅
Thoughts after reading the latest chapter
Having read the latest chapter, well, it's actually not bad, and the setting is quite novel. However, I'm wondering if this is considered an urban fantasy or a cultivation fantasy? Calling it an urban fantasy isn't entirely wrong, but the protagonist's cultivation level is constantly being suppressed, and the setting doesn't feel like a pure urban fantasy novel.
The subject matter is good, the writing is decent, and the content is alright, but it's too drawn out and the pacing is too slow. It's just filler and lacks excitement and thrills. Leaving a mark here, let's part ways amicably.
Did the author consider that by chapter 100+, the protagonist, without relying on divine power, would already be overwhelming ordinary people with just his basic attribute points, and would even need to overdraw his divine power during competitions? Is that reasonable? Also, the protagonist's health points are probably in the hundreds; without divine power, he doesn't seem any different from an ordinary person.
To be honest, after reading over 20 chapters, it's alright putting aside the setting. The author, like Changshu Arno, seems to be fighting with his left and right brains. So let me ask you, with "Only I Am Immortal" and two female leads, how are you going to solve the problem of the female leads' lifespans? How are you going to give readers the confidence to keep reading? If you're "Only I Am Immortal" but don't offer the cultivation option, what kind of immortality are you talking about?
I don't know why, but it was a perfectly good idea, and they had to start by having a fat guy and the protagonist dawdle around, bragging and joking.
