A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

My impression is that I really like the concept, including the cultivation system, but the protagonist seems unmotivated, the pacing is too slow, and there are few exciting moments.
I don't quite understand. It's like the transmigrator didn't bring their brain with them. It's supposed to be a soul transmigration story, but it feels more like the native absorbed the transmigrator.
This book is amazing! Many novels don't feel like novels at all, constantly throwing in modern slang and gimmicks. This one doesn't have that problem at all; it completely draws you in without pulling you out of the story. The writing is so solid. It didn't start strong and then decline. I'll subscribe to the whole thing to support it. It's incredible! I need a recommendation! If more people knew about this novel, it would definitely be a huge hit.
Author, look here Hey bro, I've already asked for you, the solution is as follows:
Setting Collection
[Upper Nine Paths] Wen Zai Dao, Jing Bai Zhan, Shen Hua Dao Lotus before Buddha, Wealth as a Mountain, Heaven's Mandate Revealed Pity Humanity, Forge Mountains, People in Melodies [Broad Nine Paths] Divide the World's Path, Carry Jade Dragon, General Before the Gate Jishan Gong, Hundred Families' Delicacies, Drunk Today
Very nice
I'm a bit of a country bumpkin. Personally, I think the writing is quite good; the vocabulary makes it very immersive, and the early parts gave me a sense of mystery and fantasy, switching back and forth. So far, the plot is interesting, the pacing isn't fast, but there's no unnecessary padding—it's concise when it needs to be, and complex when it needs to be.
I'm going to Chongqing for medical treatment now. If you have the chance later, please write a short side story featuring Xiao Jiu and Zhou Jianye. If not, that's okay too; maybe I'll recover and survive. Good luck, author! I don't know if I'll be able to come back to read this. I'm giving you all my last monthly votes.
This book is probably the best I've read this quarter.
No bias here. I'm quite picky about books. While I do read light novels, I mostly prefer to spend time choosing what to read. I think this book has several advantages, which I'll list below: 1. Mature writing style. Writing style is a crucial factor for me when choosing books. Some writing is simply unreadable, no matter how innovative it may seem. 2. Consistent plot.
The premise was supposed to be exciting and engaging, but the realistic parts were written in a dull and uninteresting way, offering absolutely no sense of anticipation. It's clear that the author intentionally didn't want to write in a formulaic way and wanted to create their own style. The problem is that formulas are so popular because they're so appealing. If you write like that, it's not formulaic, but it's not appealing at all. So how do you attract readers to keep reading?
Today I saw a reader spontaneously recommending this book on Chiji's official WeChat account. I hope the author can persevere a little longer. 😡
