Cultivation: Starting as a First-Rank Talisman Crafter

Courtyard House: Starting from a Level 1 Fitter

A small problem, The protagonist goes on a patrol mission with Li Jinyang. He identifies a vine by sight and takes it for himself. This kind of behavior is prone to problems. Everyone's not stupid. Once or twice, others might not notice, but if it happens repeatedly, it'll eventually attract attention and cause trouble.

Using talismans has so many requirements, high consumption, requires knowledge of runes, and costs money. Compared to spells, it has absolutely no advantage. Why choose this profession? In other cultivation novels, talismans are consumables, but here they're treated like spells, yet with so many additional costs.

By the time you reach the last chapter, does the protagonist have some misunderstanding about the First-Class Merit? First of all, killing a second-tier evil spirit shouldn't qualify for a first-class merit, since it's just picking up the scraps; at most, it's a second-class merit. Secondly, if we can't recommend it this year, there's always next year.

All I saw the whole time was "meritorious service, meritorious service, great meritorious service," what utter garbage!

The protagonist offended so many enemies above the Foundation Establishment level during his Qi Refining stage and got involved in too many affairs of people above the Foundation Establishment level, which lowered the prestige of the Foundation Establishment stage, reduced readers' expectations for the protagonist's Foundation Establishment, and diminished the enjoyment of the plot.

I've seen 56 chapters so far and found several major flaws. The first and biggest flaw is frequently assigning the protagonist, a support worker, to fight and adventure. The second flaw is repeatedly introducing villains to target the protagonist; enemies' intelligence seems to drop when they encounter him, and this isn't a one-off occurrence.

The worldview is strange; it feels like it's been forcibly incorporated into the cultivation world.

It's mostly filler content. At the beginning, it's all about making talismans, then various rich kids hate the protagonist for women or their jobs, hiring hitmen to kill. Every time the protagonist teams up with others to fight monsters and dispose of the bodies, they discover an opportunity and pocket it all... While the teammates never see or discover the opportunity... I'm speechless, I'm leaving.

Talismans are meant to save mana and be convenient and universal, but you've made them extremely mana-intensive. Some talismans can only be used by talisman masters. Furthermore, talisman masters are supposed to be in support roles, but you've made it so that support staff need to be on the front lines.
