Lamplighter of the Eastern Court

I don't know what's wrong with the writers of Xianxia novels these days. (Foundation Building) Look at these two words, it's the stage of building a foundation. If your protagonist hasn't achieved anything in most of his life, it proves that he's not suitable for cultivating immortality. What's the point of him practicing Qi?

This is truly the first time I've ever seen someone practicing Qi cultivation and then being reborn.

He's always causing trouble and getting into problems. What kind of immortality is he trying to achieve?

The protagonist's personality doesn't seem like that of someone who has been reborn three times; instead, he's more like a young person in their twenties, with a childlike heart.

I couldn't continue reading Chapter 25; it's too Tang Dynasty-esque. The protagonist steals that Junior Brother Zhao's cultivation technique, and then says he needs to rely on him 😅. Seriously? You steal his technique and then want to be his brother? Isn't that setting a trap? Why not just copy the technique, return the original, and give him that talisman instead? That would be doing him a favor.

Their combat strength has somewhat collapsed. Is the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators really that small?

While it's understandable and reasonable to resort to any means when faced with an opportunity, setting the protagonist as a thief who steals other people's opportunities for no reason from the very beginning creates a very bad impression.

What kind of nonsense is this after the Golden Core stage? He clearly has enough resources to break through, yet he goes to Youcheng to provoke Nascent Soul elders. Afterwards, he goes to a Foundation Establishment family to ask for a secret escape technique, only to be asked to be their bodyguard. Is his cultivation just for show? He can't be manipulated by Foundation Establishment cultivators!

At around chapter 400, the protagonist has completed his Core Formation. The novel's plot flows smoothly, featuring a rare array of magical treasures, yet the battles don't feel repetitive or overly complicated. The protagonist's growth path is seamless and engaging; once you start reading, you can't stop. 😁

I looked through my book review history, and most of the books I read around the same time as yours were abandoned. There were even quite a few that performed better than this one back then. It's amazing that you've managed to stick with it until now.
