Immortal Silkworm

If this story is abandoned, I'll post it on Zhihu: "The online literature community collectively breaks down! Why is Lan Li Laomo hailed as the 'ceiling of contemporary online literature writers'?" 🙂

It's rare to find a novel that combines elements of classic cultivation fiction with the settings of Shushan and some early cultivation novels. However, this rarity also means that such works generally won't be very successful. It requires skillful writing and keeping readers engaged is quite challenging. Furthermore, the portrayal of characters' mental states is difficult to manage effectively. The author needs to be aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

He's acquired the inheritance from his past life. How many chapters are there now? The protagonist has at most obtained a technique, but he doesn't even know where the technique is.

I knew you'd abandon these books, repeating the same old mistakes one after another, stubbornly refusing to learn from your mistakes. Luckily, I didn't subscribe this time. 😌😌😌

The readers in the book review section are also much smarter. This author may have been trying to depict the difficulties of entering the path of immortality, and the intention was indeed good. Unfortunately, whether it was due to insufficient writing skills or the author's own lack of experience, the protagonist was like a complete idiot, not even as good as an ordinary person.

Just one comment about a chubby, plump 13 or 14-year-old girl really makes me think the author hasn't met many handsome men and beautiful women. Those celebrities were terribly ugly when they were fat, and at 13 or 14, they weren't even fully developed yet. Saying that just looking at them would shorten your lifespan by three years wouldn't be an exaggeration. Where are the beautiful, plump girls?

This opening has a strong "fantasy novel vibe," with the protagonist traversing both the immortal and demonic paths, seizing top-tier inheritances and magical treasures through fortuitous encounters. This writing style can probably be traced back to martial arts novels of the last century, but it feels rather outdated now.

I finally understand what "wuwei" (non-action) means. The protagonist was busy running around, going through a huge circle, experiencing life and death, but it would have been better to do nothing, just honestly do his work, and the opportunity for immortality would have come to him on its own. Deliberately forcing things, like being possessed by a calamity from the Investiture of the Gods, makes one disregard everything else and ends up going in circles.

I can't stand it anymore! The protagonist only starts cultivating after thirty chapters, and he's even practicing unorthodox methods! It's unbearable!
