You've Only Cultivated for a Few Years, Yet You Claim to Be an Immortal

Currently, the protagonist's philosophical thinking, in real society, is at the level of a typical philosophy enthusiast who has read a few books and watched some popular philosophy videos. Yet, the protagonist uses this level of philosophical reasoning to crush the ideologies of this cultivation world.

The biggest problem, I feel, is that the protagonist's worldview is always correct. Everyone else's is always seen as naive, mainstream, and blindly optimistic. I think the author should focus on the clash of different philosophies, rather than the protagonist's overwhelming dominance. If the protagonist is constantly crushing others and showing off, the book's lifespan will be very short.

So far, it's been pretty good overall, and I hope it goes even further. Since it's a fantasy novel with a focus on fast-paced action, I suggest focusing more on the plot and less on philosophical themes. A touch of philosophical reflection interspersed with engaging plot points is the perfect finishing touch. Too much philosophical thought mixed with scattered plot points just makes the story incomprehensible.

I listened to Chapter 27 of the book and wrote a review. Liang Cao is a bit of an invincible stream. There is nothing poisonous about it. It has some jokes and is quite satisfactory. Personally, I feel that although it is written about philosophical cultivation, it is not actually the path of spiritual cultivation as imagined in philosophical speculation.

This novel isn't a traditional cultivation story; it primarily aims to explain cultivation through philosophical concepts. It's a road trip story, not an action film. Advantages: The genre is novel; the road trip format prioritizes storytelling, which fits the novel's form better. Traditional cultivation combat is more suited to animation.

The plot is utterly absurd; the characters actually reject cultivation because cultivators have harmed too many people. It's as ridiculous as someone forbidding themselves and those around them from making and using guns and cannons just because they've caused so much harm.

Having read Chapter 43, I finally understand why I'd been finding things odd but couldn't quite pinpoint the reason. I must thank the readers in the chapter reviews for pointing out the issues, which helped me identify the problem. Frankly, the biggest problem with this book isn't the output of viewpoints or philosophical concepts.

Such a broad mind, such a high level of understanding

The fact that you traveled through time proves that consciousness can exist independently of matter. The theory of practice refutes dogmatism and empiricism. The protagonist's repeated use of real-world theories is itself a dogmatic error.

Interesting, but there's a bit too much braised duck. 🙂
