Born with a Literary Dao Seed, Yet I Became a Martial Saint and Immortal

The writing is quite good, but it's unlikely to become popular. Firstly, the issue of the literary style being overshadowed has been delayed for too long. Secondly, the cultivation level is too restrictive (I personally think that dividing the nine ranks into so many levels is a bit toxic). Thirdly, the reading experience feels somewhat disjointed, with some chapters and paragraphs jumping around.

I've read so many similar books, but I've never seen one this slow. It's hundreds of chapters in and still stuck in a tiny county town. 😓

The biggest flaw is that if a character with a cheat ability loses their literary skill, can they regain it by learning the skill again? I remember in many mythological novels, you can regain it by learning the skill again. If you have a cheat ability, it should be 100%. Also, this has to be voluntary. You can use coercion or other means to lure them, and you have to bear the consequences.

It's over two hundred chapters long, still at the ninth rank, and then it keeps going up in rank, but the rank is divided too finely, so each seemingly significant improvement is actually still at the ninth rank.

It wasn't easy; after 900,000 words, it finally reached the eighth rank. If the writing style and world-building hadn't been so restrictive in the early stages, the book would have achieved much higher ratings long ago.

The plot is dragging on too much. I've read over 160 chapters, and the martial arts path still has nine ranks. It takes two or three hundred chapters to go from the ninth to the eighth rank, so going from the eighth to the seventh rank would be four or five hundred, six or seven hundred chapters! I can't keep going.

I checked, and it's over 500 chapters in, and the Meng family is still alive. This insignificant, lowly family has managed to entangle with the protagonist for over 500 chapters? Forget it, I'm not reading anymore, it's too infuriating. In any novel of this type, if the enemy's family survives more than 100 chapters, it's considered the protagonist is being merciful.

The theme isn't new, but the ambition is huge—it aims for progression, slice-of-life elements, and humor. Having seen too many chaotic end-of-dynasty stories, I'm looking forward to something different. Hopefully, it will hold out until its release. 🙂

The pacing is off, and the setbacks keep coming back, it's so frustrating to watch. Plus, they deliberately made the system overly complicated, with a ninth-rank character requiring five stages, just trying to overpower the early game, huh?

The author clearly imitated and borrowed from the Night Watchman, but the Night Watchman's cultivation system is obviously problematic. So far, the author has handled it well, without any glaring loopholes. The plot isn't as mindlessly exciting as in the Night Watchman; it's more logical, though the level of excitement is relatively lower. Whether it's good or not is a matter of opinion, but at least so far, I personally think it's an excellent light novel.
