No, I couldn't watch it anymore. The plot was alright, but that's about it. Every time I went into a dungeon, I wrote a ton of stuff, making it seem like I was making a huge profit, but in reality, there was no real improvement. The author suppressed his cultivation level too much.
This book is a bit of a shame. It's clear the author put effort into researching the plot's development and transitions. The main problem is the pacing; the events are too tightly packed without any real progression in cultivation. The protagonist starts at the peak of the Core Formation stage, but after so much time has passed, even during the Great War on the grasslands, he's still only at the…
A single story has over 50 chapters. Besides shock, regret, and disbelief, what else do you feel?
One chapter is over 50. 1. My face changed drastically. 2. I was shocked. 3. I regretted it. 4. I had a way out, but I didn't escape. I was waiting for the enemy to close the door and beat me. 5. I almost died. 6. I thought of a plan, but actually, I didn't have any concrete plans. 7. I could only fight for my life. 8. I remembered the original work, and I was shocked. 9.
Dude, it's not unreasonable for me to request a refund from Qidian, is it?
I gave you a sponsorship deal and you pull this stunt right after? This is the first time I've ever seen someone treat their readers like clowns.
It's time for the author to stop and spend time developing an outline.
①After the Nascent Soul stage, the plot became too drawn out. Many readers have also reported this problem. The Xuanhuang Elder alone has written 154-206 chapters, a total of 53 chapters. What? At this snail's pace, are you really planning to write more than 2,000 chapters by the time you ascend to the Tribulation stage, just like Wang Yu?
How do novels become popular?
Due to the popularity of anime, especially the rise of third-generation character modeling, characters like Mei Ning from Luanxinghai, Zi Ling, Song Yu, and Mu Peiling have become incredibly popular, each with their own unique characteristics. It's not that the more women you search for, the more people will dislike you. That's a misconception.
The biggest problem with this book is that it imitates the original work.
Readers of the original work, unaware of the plot, naturally find the protagonist's adventures fascinating. But for a fanfiction transmigrator, the greatest thrill is the chance to be the most profitable, the fastest, and the strongest. Yet, the author has created a completely different Han Li. What's the point of that? If you're so interested, why not just reread the original work?
The protagonist's cultivation speed is even slower than in the original novel of Mortal Cultivation!
In the original novel of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, Han Li's cultivation progressed from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late stage in just 271 chapters (chapter 854-1125), totaling approximately 800,000 words. This gives you an idea of how slow the protagonist's cultivation was—it's simply unbelievable! 😐
The author is too afraid of changing the original plot, so the power levels are suppressed too much, and the protagonist's intelligence is even reduced from time to time.
In fact, the author's writing skills and plot development ability are really strong, definitely among the top in the Mortal Realm fanfiction, and could even compete for first place. But for some reason, the author is so afraid of the plot deviating from the original work that he insists on keeping the protagonist's combat power at a level not much stronger than Han Li's.
It's obvious that Tiannan can't write anymore, so he can only rely on Han Li from the original work.
