Longevity, Starting From Being a Chicken Raising Servant

In my opinion, this book's rating is too low; it should be at least 9.2. At least based on the content so far, it's a good work. Ignoring the writing style—after all, it's an online novel and doesn't prioritize elaborate vocabulary—the writing skill is still top-notch among online writers. A large part of the reason for the low rating is probably the slow pacing and the oppressive atmosphere in the early stages (as perceived by many). But these are, in my opinion, strengths. This book has three advantages: First, in terms of content richness, one chapter is equivalent to five or six chapters of other low-quality online novels. The writing is concise and the explanations are clear, which is rare in today's online novel climate. The slow pacing that everyone criticizes is actually achieved by presenting us with a more realistic world through a wealth of detailed descriptions. Second, the use of the system (or "cheat code") is perfectly executed. Firstly, the protagonist doesn't rely on the system for everything; rather, it's a system with certain application requirements. Without the ability to cultivate (lifespan transfer), the system's operation wouldn't be possible, thus fitting the title of the work perfectly. Having read too many works that deviate from the initial premise, reading this book is a pleasant surprise. Secondly, this system directly addresses the core of the system (cheat code), namely the story's pacing, creating a unified effect: within the story, the system's use is to bypass arduous cultivation; outside the story, it skips the cultivation that readers least want to see, providing a certain sense of satisfaction. It's especially commendable that this system hasn't gone out of control, maintaining stability through appropriate resource devaluation. Moreover, the author genuinely treats the system as an auxiliary rather than the core, allowing the story's content to unfold. Thirdly, the author presents us with a more realistic and cruel world, not simply through a few lines of description like "severed limbs, ruins, and corpses strewn across the land," but through a firm grasp of the narrative's rhythm. A somber tone, coupled with frequent build-up of tension and the looming pressure of the impending deadline, reminds us that this world is far from ideal. Even with his advantages, the protagonist still needs mental fortitude and rigorous training to survive. A sense of crisis accompanies the reading experience. As sharp as Zhao Feng, he abandons his physical body shortly after the start; as agile as Ye Lingyu, he cannot escape being possessed by his master; the self-proclaimed leader of the Tianmen Sect becomes a pawn in someone else's scheme; countless powerful sects are destroyed overnight; the protagonist barely escapes Tianmen, only to be caught up in the chaos of the Three Sects after a few years of peace; fortunately, he is protected by his master and joins a righteous sect, but another crisis looms. With the cultivation of an ant, navigating a chaotic world, the reader is drawn in from the protagonist's perspective, making the reading experience gripping and captivating. Fourth, uphold your original aspirations and remain steadfast to the end. There are far too few novels that don't feature harem elements. Most people read novels for relaxation and to enjoy some exciting scenes. I also read "CEO Lu" next door and really like it. However, these days, novels with harems can be counted on one hand as non-harem works, making this book a true breath of fresh air. Mutual support and unwavering devotion are rare indeed; I envy this pure love that I never had. Sorry, I've used up all my monthly tickets and my wallet is a bit tight lately. This is a long review I wrote casually and while I was feeling sleepy. I hope it can help the author.

An ordinary cultivation technique takes nearly ten thousand years to reach the tenth level. After more than a hundred chapters of hard work, you finally reach the tenth level, and then you have to buy a spiritual root talisman to test your spiritual root? They just fill over ten chapters without testing it. It's utterly ridiculous. After all that effort, you only get a low-grade spiritual root? Seriously? Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal doesn't have this much difficulty cultivating.

It's quite enjoyable, without any obvious moments of stupidity, overpowered moments, or face-slapping. Each volume almost always starts with raising a spirit beast to develop, then the protagonist is assigned plot missions and begins fighting, before finally returning home to nurture a spirit beast and go into seclusion. Similar to traditional cultivation novels, the protagonist's cheat ability allows him to convert the lifespan of a spirit beast into his own, and vice versa. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of longevity novel I'm looking for. Although the protagonist currently has an infinite lifespan, there are too many setbacks. Wherever he goes, he gets wiped out; every sect he's in forces him to undertake external missions; this world is plagued by natural disasters; and now even the top sect he belongs to is building arks and preparing to flee. The two million-plus words only cover a mere hundred years. Of course, this novel is still very worthwhile. The characters are well-defined and intelligent, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the leaders in various battles are incredibly cunning. Finally, fellow cultivators, could you recommend a longevity novel that depicts a carefree life in a prosperous era with a large time span?

A rare gem of a book. No filler, no harem or womanizer elements, the plot flows naturally. No addictive elements. The author's intelligence is absolutely top-notch. Excellent writing. The rating is far too low. Recommended by seasoned bookworms.

The plot is nonsensical and illogical. For example, the character starts wanting to escape from level 30 onwards, but after over 100 chapters, they still haven't run away. All the conditions for escape are met, yet they engage in inexplicable void battles and are too afraid to run. It's ridiculous. They have a very hidden cheat, but are hesitant to use it because of supposedly unmanageable consequences. Why not just find some small animals in the mountains? Use it and then discard or bury it—who would know? The plot quests are also inexplicably designed, and their introductions are abrupt, as if there's some kind of conspiracy.

A transmigrator is forced into a dog-eat-dog world of demonic cultivators. It's understandable that the protagonist doesn't cultivate demonic arts and is decisive in killing; his peaceful, slightly weak, and saintly nature is tolerable. But after over a hundred chapters, with such a powerful cheat ability, why is he in a place where he could die at any moment, not cultivating any magic but only focusing on internal energy cultivation to level up? Are you kidding me?

Rising from humble beginnings, he spent half his life walking on thin ice; now, with the world crumbling and all the saints departing, the protagonist has finally stepped out from behind the scenes to the forefront. The book's pace is slow, but it picks up after the protagonist joins the Myriad Manifestations Sect. The world collapses, evil gods rise, foreign enemies invade, and the protagonist begins to grow significantly stronger. All the characters are vividly portrayed, with few idiots; they are all intelligent and shrewd. The female lead is not just a pretty face, the male lead is not a eunuch, and the story features a warm, loving home with a wife and children—a comfortable and genuine relationship. The book never strays from its title's essence: raising chickens until the very end. The first half of the story is truly miserable for a rogue cultivator. The cultivation world is even darker than the world of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*. He's cautious and timid, lacking any powerful cultivation techniques, relying solely on the Yin Scripture for survival. Fighting beyond his level is practically impossible. Aside from mutual support with his Daoist partner, only his good senior brother Zhao Feng occasionally lends a hand. The second half begins to improve after joining a sect—a truly top-tier sect with an excellent atmosphere. The protagonist can finally develop steadily, becoming a disciple of the strongest cultivator of his realm, learning various top-tier techniques. His cheat-like abilities finally kick in: the ability to increase his comprehension progress by sacrificing lifespan grants him a profound foundation, perfectly complementing his teacher's techniques and paving the way to invincibility. He completely sheds his previous timidity and begins to shine. A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. As the protagonist's combat power and abilities become apparent, he begins to step into the limelight, even becoming the vice sect leader after the passing of the saints. Now, he has finally matured completely, handling various major events to protect the sect. A novel worth reading, though it's a very slow burn. The first half is gritty, but the second half is exhilarating (especially the chapter about the hero's fury), which is very enjoyable. It has a similar feel to "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," a rare gem from Qi Mao.

Forced stupidity; this isn't cowardice, it's not cunning, it's not weakness, it's just pathetic. The plot is bland, like a run-of-the-mill story. I have no desire to continue reading.

It got increasingly boring towards the end, tasteless yet too good to throw away. A simple apprenticeship story dragged on for so many chapters. Knowing the protagonist was in danger, his master immediately set off. The protagonist was being chased and nearly killed by a Golden Core cultivator, while his master was still on the way, and even went the wrong way! What kind of explanation is this? I'm utterly speechless; it's like a forced drop in intelligence.
