The Martial Saint of Great Qian!

I've read over a hundred chapters, and the protagonist's cultivation plot is good! But the sibling relationship is poorly written; the sibling is purely decorative and a burden, just a bunch of filler words—I skip it as soon as I see it! More words and a longer story don't necessarily mean better quality; most readers are driven away by filler content.

No wonder the novels about survival of the fittest aren't popular. They've become so timid and lack any creativity. What era are we living in? If you're going to write a novel about survival of the fittest, try to be original. Don't expose anything, and strive for a balance between left and right brain. In this cannibalistic setting, making flashy and ugly things is just unbearable.

Me: I need to go out to buy breakfast. The author woke up feeling hungry, probably from hunger. The warm sun shone in, casting dappled shadows on the windowsill, and the television was irritating. The father had repaired the old television yesterday; the volume was louder, the picture clearer, but it only made things worse. The neighbors probably felt the same way. I heard that Uncle Wang, our neighbor, broke his leg yesterday while buying groceries and is still in the hospital. His son is out of town and couldn't come back, and his daughter, though local, is busy with work and can't help much. Only Aunt Wang is busy taking care of him, even cooking meals to take to the hospital. She's really busy, and I don't blame the children; they can't afford to neglect their work. I just feel sorry for Aunt Wang. The spicy soup on the next street is too thin and lacks thickening, and there aren't enough meatballs. The fried dough sticks are pretty good, though; I could buy some there… As for drinks, soy milk with sugar is fattening, and without sugar it's a bit astringent and hard to swallow. Plus, their soy milk is too watery. The shop across the street that sells steamed buns has delicious soy milk, including red date flavor, which suits my taste; I should buy a cup. I probably can't eat any more steamed buns. Should I buy a tea egg? I don't seem to have enough money; I should save up for a few days to get some protein… Oh well, I shouldn't think about it anymore; I should go out and buy breakfast.

There's definitely a lot of water involved. The author must be from the policy research office, writing analysis reports bit by bit—it's exhausting! The scumbag traits have all been laid out; just focus on your training and stop overthinking.

The beginning was fine, but the later stages became too detailed and difficult to follow. Instead of focusing on the late Grandmaster stage or the Perfect stage, they insisted on using terms like Peak, Top, and Supreme. It became irritating after a while, like they were deliberately blocking out the stages. This is a common problem with this type of novel. Anyway, I just skipped around in the later stages.

Overall, it's pretty good. The only downside is that the early promotions and cultivation levels are a bit too fast; 1-2 years of advancement is too much. They could have just lengthened the timeline by a few years without changing the chapters. Also, the later cultivation techniques are confusing because the characters don't seem to practice them. The overall framework is good, and the occasional minor plot holes make it readable. It's hard to find a readable book these days. I was going to give it a mediocre rating, but I'll give it a good one anyway.

This is so poorly written, it's infuriating! Hundreds of pages for a beginner's village, and there are even cheaters! Training martial arts requires resources, companions, magic, and land; mental clarity is key. One character is just playing a cowardly, sneaky way to develop; why don't you go to the deep mountains and forests?

It's all so rambling and superficial.

The beginning was okay, but the later parts weren't so good. Is this supposed to be a wish-fulfillment story? It hides this and that. Is it supposed to be a survival story? It's not afraid of anything and just kills everyone who comes its way. There's no attempt to hide anything. I don't know how others feel, but I've read about half of it, and that's my impression.

The plot is dragging on and the updates are slow. What's ridiculous is that the character's cultivation level, which is always shown to be much lower than their actual level, is actually a fake identity. Is it fun to pretend to be two people? They've cultivated to such a high level but just keep it hidden. It's just a joke. There's too much narration, it's all drawn out and padded out. Things that could be explained in a sentence or two are dragged out for dozens of chapters with no resolution. It's boring.
