Mysterious Mirror: First Saint, Dao Master

I see that Li Jingtian, born of a celestial being, will aid my cultivation, so I gladly accept him. 😡 I see that Li Xuanling, embracing the Daoist Sunset Glow, is gentle and dignified; I gladly accept you two siblings as well. 😡 I see that Li Tongya, embracing the vast ocean and the long whale, is over seventy but still possesses charm; I gladly accept you father and sons as well. 😡

I'd call this the biggest stunt ever done by a Xuanjian fanfic. Others reach Foundation Establishment in a hundred chapters, the author reaches Gold in a hundred, snatching food from the immortals' mouths. It's just...

There are many fanfics about Xuanjian, some with very few daily updates, some abandoned due to writer's block, some just filler, some purely lighthearted and enjoyable, some written while imprisoned seeking enlightenment, and some forced to stop updating due to elbowing the original author.

He clearly lacks the ability to trigger a complete explosion, yet he's stuck in the Qi Refining stage for so long. Meanwhile, Gani Xi, at Foundation Establishment, is still marveling at his knowledge and comparing himself to Liang Zhuang. The author even gave him the Xuan An background; the protagonist's actions are baffling. I actually quite liked the earlier parts of the plot; poorly written revisions can ruin the reading experience, but yours has too many problems and the pacing is terrible.

This author has taken what everyone was jokingly saying about Xuanjian and turned it into a main story setting. Li Jingtian in this fanfic truly has a rebellious air about him; it just seems so outrageous! 😦

The third most popular book has fizzled out. I need to quickly finish the Purple Mansion chapter and start revising the perspective. Writing 4,000 words a day at a leisurely pace might make it seem like a masterpiece.

What does it mean that the protagonist broke through immediately after Duanmu's death? If he was really close to breaking through, Duanmu would have forced the protagonist to do so before he died. Also, where does the protagonist's confidence come from? He is so sure that he will not die. He is so arrogant even though he has only just started practicing Qi Refining.

The tedious, drawn-out plot of the Qi Refining stage was bad enough, but then they added the fox spirit Daji line for filler. My initial delight with the supporting characters has turned to disgust, all because of the author's pointless padding. Three-tenths of the writing would be perfect, but they insist on making it ten-tenths.

It's not a problem if the prison sentence is too long, but it's unacceptable to have a slow pace of pacing and then cram elements of a wish-fulfillment novel into the synopsis as a gimmick. Not only will it fail to retain readers, but it's also incredibly tiring to read. Please update more! 🙃

Finally, someone has written about the lineage of witchcraft! The path of witchcraft has great potential. First of all, the problem is that the protagonist has no background or anyone to rely on. How will he survive the calamity of Duanmu's death? Those Purple Mansions searched him inch by inch; the protagonist simply couldn't escape. That's the first hurdle.
