I Can Plunder the Spells of Demonic Cultivators

The protagonist starts off as a complete waste, at the very beginning of the Qi Gathering stage (level 3). I read 32 chapters, and the protagonist's cultivation level reached the peak of Qi Gathering stage 3. A full 32 chapters! Everyone knows that if the protagonist's cultivation level doesn't increase, there's no way to advance the plot; after all, at only Qi Gathering, they can't access higher-level people and events. Is there really no problem with writing a novel like this?

Speechless. You're dividing a single Qi Refining stage into early, middle, late, and peak stages, and then pushing the level down to the fourth stage? Is it really necessary to suppress the cultivation level like this? You wrote 43 chapters just to get the protagonist to break through to the first stage; by the time he reaches Foundation Establishment, you'll have to write over 300 chapters! It seems the author is aiming for 10,000 chapters.

The book tells you from the very beginning that the Qi Gathering stage has three levels, which can be further divided into early, middle, and late stages. It's always filled with filler content...

Let me make a prediction first: there will definitely be a plot point later on where the protagonist takes in a little girl for a while. Almost every book likes to have the protagonist take in a little girl for a period of time; 10000% certain, this plot point will happen later.

This author has a bad habit of dividing the realms into extremely detailed categories. For example, the first level of Qi Refining is divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, late stage peak, late stage perfection, and so on. In short, it's as long and tedious as an old lady's foot binding cloth.

Still stuck at the mid-stage of the third level of Qi Gathering, with nine levels and thirty-six stages in one realm. Three years, then another three, then another stage after another. If all else fails, just break the Qi Gathering realm into three major realms: Qi Nourishing, Qi Gathering, and Qi Refining. At least that way it seems like you're progressing faster.

Triple early-stage peak, Triple early-stage peak perfect, Triple early-stage peak great perfection, Triple mid-stage peak, Triple mid-stage peak perfect, Triple mid-stage peak great perfection, Triple late-stage peak, Triple late-stage peak perfect, Triple late-stage peak great perfection 🤣

Qi Refining Level 1, early peak, half-step Supreme, unparalleled, early peak, half-step Great Perfection!

Like an old woman's foot binding cloth, it was smelly and long, with most of each chapter describing psychological activities. It took more than thirty chapters to advance one level in the Qi Refining stage!

It's still as bland as before; the cheat code only kicks in in chapter 12, and everything before that is just trivial stuff.
