Immortality Begins with Stealing Water Magic Talent

Having read up to Chapter 41, the novel's plot and framework are quite good, including the interesting "golden finger" (cheat code). However, the details are too harsh. The protagonist has a strong sense of unworthiness, at least up to Chapter 41: 1. As a cultivator, he married a mortal wife and claims to be looking for an ideal lover—hardly befitting a 60-year-old fool. 2.

The treatment of female characters is too despicable. Imagine if a genius, more powerful and with a better background than the protagonist, could easily NTR the protagonist.

It's so weak it could practically overshadow the protagonist. There's never been any instance of casually killing weak monsters to extract their talents. This cheat allows him to directly extract the talents of all monsters without any restrictions. In other books, it takes a lot of effort to acquire a talent. The protagonist of this book has accumulated very few talents over the years.

Does anyone know anything about this book?

They talked about how amazing Water Escape Technique is, even Foundation Establishment cultivators need talent to learn it. Then they said how amazing Water Escape Talismans are, costing thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones to cultivate, and then suddenly they say one Water Escape Talisman costs 5 spirit stones? Are you kidding me?

It seems like your story doesn't have a female lead, but you've written about far too many women! You just randomly introduce women out of nowhere. What, you can't write without women?

Trying to reach the Great Perfection stage in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, or the Foundation Establishment stage in the late-stage of Qi Refining? People are just wasting their time cultivating like dogs; they might as well not even bother talking about cultivation level.

After forty years of cultivation, you're still just a talisman master. You break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and want to keep a low profile, so you pretend to be at the third level of Qi Refining. I tolerated that. But the next day, you deliberately spent spirit stones to buy breakthrough pills. I really can't stand it anymore. At your age and with your cultivation level, is it really necessary for you to be so low-key, to hide and pretend, and to go through all this fancy stuff?

I finally understand. This author is a stubborn fool. This novel was a complete disaster from the start. From the first-tier demon beast costing thousands of spirit stones, to the Foundation Establishment Pill costing 30,000 spirit stones each, to the Qi Refining 7th level cultivator killing dozens of cultivators in front of everyone and then killing two Foundation Establishment cultivators…

That breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining was genuinely a slip-up; he ostensibly bought pills to cover it up. After decades, a breakthrough would only be seen as a natural progression. And he didn't break through to the fifth level or other levels in a short time. Overall, the author needs to write more and practice more. A work has two sides, good and bad; a novel that only accepts the good side won't last long.
