A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So

The Author Is Trouble...
These aren’t lightweight novels; they take some time and thought. The authors keep updating regardless of outside circumstances

The concept is good, but the writing is frustrating. It's a classic Mahayana stage story where the cultivation is gone, and the premise is similar to other capitalist cultivation novels. If the cultivation were still there, it could have explored how the upper echelons turned society into what it is, offering a different perspective. There are plenty of cyberpunk cultivation novels with a lower-class perspective; this frustrating one wouldn't be a problem.
I don't understand why the protagonist must be made into a lustful character
Latest update: The description of this aspect has been reduced a lot, and the flavor of the drama has become stronger. 20260220 I came here from the Slime book and ordered all of it. When I read Slime, although most of the women in it looked like hungry ghosts in porn, I could barely accept the interactions between Slime and various women because it fit the character of the protagonist.
The protagonist's resolve is unwavering. Even amidst this corrupt and chaotic world, he approaches it with a heart set on purifying it, starting anew. He himself gives the impression of a true cultivator, a venerable ruler. Even with his supernatural powers reduced to mortal levels, his heart remains steadfast. This creates a very compelling viewing experience.
Some views on this worldview
Novels construct fantasy worlds by adding various incredible elements to make the world rich and diverse. Authors and readers adventure in the constructed worlds, enjoying the pleasure of reading stories and experiencing various plots. However, this kind of worldview is essentially about eliminating or reducing fantasy elements and diversity.
What I hate most is the loss of high cultivation levels. It's like I have a hundred million, but for some reason I can't spend it, and I have to earn it back myself before I get it back. I'd rather earn my own money!
Why has the comment section of a perfectly good book become such a mess?
This book, while not top-notch in terms of its imaginative concepts and writing style, is certainly above average. Furthermore, it avoids unnecessary embellishment and excessive use of flowery language, preventing the reader from feeling confused. With so many negative comments in the comments section, I'm starting to wonder if the author offended someone. They haven't even finished reading the free chapters and are already randomly slandering the author.
Let me summarize after reading 21 chapters.
There's too much personal bias... It seems like all cyberpunk fantasy and Warhammer fanfiction authors have this bad habit: they want to cram every piece of their knowledge into the book to educate the reader, resulting in long passages of theoretical settings and esoteric jargon (which usually consumes a lot of the author's effort in polishing).
New readers, don't be fooled, this book isn't frustrating. It might not be an invincible, wish-fulfillment story, but aside from the beginning, you don't suffer any setbacks. Actually, the beginning isn't even about setbacks; it's more like being chased by a yandere.
The following may contain some spoilers, but there's no way around it. After all, some people haven't even finished reading the free chapters and are already calling it a story about abusing the protagonist, so I can only spoil some of the free chapter content. First, this book doesn't torture the protagonist.
After watching the video by Lao A, I feel that the author is still too conservative; the cultivation world is still too much like rice noodles.
Just wondering, is this story a single-female-lead or multi-female-lead story? I'm a harem fan, so if it's a single-female-lead story, I'll take my leave before I start reading, and I wish the story great success. If it's a harem story, then feel free to jump in.
