Shameless scholar with his shameless 5 star review (I mean... It is my novel so why wouldn't I like it?) Hi Fellow Daoists! I hope you are all enjoying the novel. If you like the novel do you think you can take the time to write a small review? It would greatly help it expand to a wider audience ;). If that's too much, a comment on the end of each chapter would be fine too! Small acts like these help drive my motivation to keep writing, especially since I'm new! Aside from that thanks for reading! There will be more to come! *Clasps Hands* *Bows Deeply*
Ah, an up-to-standard xianxia, very refreshing to read once in a while. Unfortunately, I have not been following any xianxia as of late. I do commend you for your grammar, author. The pacing is good and it is of a standard translation novel quality. There is only one thing I would like to complain though... The use of "YOU'RE" and "YOUR"! "YOU'RE" is the short form of "YOU ARE", so when you intended to write "You are alive." it is "You're alive." and not "Your alive."
I read three chapters. It is difficult to evaluate in three chapters. But it is written simply, easy to read, the plot is intriguing. There is a share of humor. There is a tao story, there is good and evil and a cunning old fox. In general, everything you need for a good story about cultivators and Taoists. I liked the novel, I hope for regular updates. I put 5 stars, this is one of the most magnificent novels that I happened to read in the last year on this site. It remains to be hoped that the author will be able to maintain in the middle and at the end of this story the same stunning spirit and atmosphere of the DAO cultivation and intrigue of history. The number of words in the chapter is more than sufficient, so that interest remains, so that it is not too boring and you can find out how history develops. In general, it’s very cool and magical! I recommend reading to all lovers of stories about Tao cultivation, this is one of the 10 pearls of short stories on this site. IMHO.
A very well written story, the worldbuilding is clear and well explored without pages upon pages of rules the reader has to memorise. The setting is interesting and (for me) unique, but doesn't make the reader feel completely alienated, the same could be said about the magic system. The characters are interesting, their traits exaggerated just enough to make them interesting but not enough to make them unrealistic I'm happy to see that the MC is visibly stronger, but doesn't become a one-man army from the get-go, there is still ******* and he is still aware of his situation and knows he can't stay in the spotlight. The grammar was flawless, in fact just plain "correctness" aside, the whole thing was just written very elegantly. It's difficult for me to find any negatives this early in the story (as of chapter 10) - at this point the only risk is that the story will develop into a power fantasy, or cripple the MC for fear of becoming a power fantasy, both being detrimental to the overall enjoyment of the story. (BTW, the old man is great.)
