A Beginner's Cultivation Manual, but the System Insists It's the Eight-Nine Arcane Art

It's like they can't write without mentioning women! I'm definitely abandoning this.

I suggest the author not to portray Little Karami's fighting as too overpowered. Do you really think Little Karami could unleash a will that could tear everything apart and sever rivers? If Little Karami is already like that, what about those stronger than him who could destroy planets? Even highlighting the protagonist's strength shouldn't be done like this. It easily leads to a power imbalance, making it difficult for readers to discern the differences between their cultivation levels.

He's even more useless than the average person in reality; even with a system, he acts like an idiot. If you say they're natives, I can automatically fill in the blanks, but if you say they're time travelers? He was defeated in Chapter 4, and his IQ was even lower than that of a level 3 fighter.

I thought they'd give me the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to practice, but it turns out they just changed the name. I'm still practicing that Body-Refining Technique. It's ridiculous.

What I hate most are books about sect competitions or academy rankings, which are often dozens of chapters long and tedious. The story goes on and on, making the reader sleepy. It takes forever to finish reading, so readers leave, the author starts to give up, and then the story ends badly. If there are such things, I'll just click the "X" and not look at them.

Chapter 50 is poorly written. The author likely intended to borrow the concept of achieving the "Triple Crown" in the ancient imperial examinations to illustrate the difficulty of passing all three levels of the exams. However, that's a humanities subject. Humanities subjects are highly subjective, not to mention the conflicts of interest and regional considerations.

I would like to ask the author, in a world where everyone is a martial artist, where do the resources for production come from, and how do ordinary people survive? And in a world without ordinary people, how do the rich and powerful survive?

I've noticed a key point: in these kinds of novels, the grand martial arts competitions are supposedly held once a year, but each time, the unparalleled super geniuses from the major families always seem to be ranked in the same year as the protagonist, as if their parents had agreed to have children in the same year.

The protagonist's family was destitute; his mother would work tirelessly for two or three days to weave a straw mat, which would only earn ten coins to sell. The family went bankrupt, giving ten taels of silver to the protagonist to practice martial arts.

At first, I thought that once I mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts (Gold Forging Technique), I could take off immediately, but... It turned out to be such a mess.
