I now read till chapter 100, so the ending of the first book. Before reading this I already thought I found a few of the better novels and thought these absolute cliche cultivation novels absolutely disgusting. But compared to this, the majority of them cannot even be called something to read. Even if I just read about 100 novels and 1000 books in my life, far from knowing everything I would like, I can say for sure that this novel is in the upper 0.5%. In some novels, 100 chapters feel like eternity, simply because they are tedious and some people say "The story gets good from 200 onwards". Well, that just means that these 200 chapter are bad. In some other novels, 100 chapter feels like nothing because the story is good, easy to read and has hundreds of chapters anyway. But in this novel, these 100 chapters included story development, character development and especially FEELINGS others could only try to get across. Do your best, author. I won't say your best is enough, cause you know that humans never have enough, but your best - is the best.

I legitimately believe the author has never spoken to a real person in his entire 13 years of life. Juvenile and shallow story. Again, the readers of this site amazes me with their ability to read trash like this

Long story short, this novel is a hidden gem. It completely overturns the normal cultivation plotline, and instead forges its own path. One without young masters, grumpy elders who kill for no reason, and plain mcs. The good parts of this novel are: 1. A good mc 2. Side characters that arent 2d pieces of cardboard 3. Plot twists arent obvious 4. Good humor, and i mean i laughed at stuff, not corny jokes 5. Proggression, characters change and grow 6. BLACKSMITHING ISNT A PLOT TOOL! 7. The story can actually make you tear up Now the bad 1. Still has some cliches used, and not in a good way 2. Around chapter 50 or so the foreshadowing and info dumps become almost unbearable for a couple chapters. Almost like some mystery poem. 3. Sometimes the story moves from one place to another too quickly, can be confusing. 4. Not all the shameless jokes land 5. A couple grammar issues, mainly just a slight annoyance 6. Reading this may cause an existential crises. 7. Could make you cry But my favorite part is that this novel is one with a message. I wont say what it is in fear of ruining it (and the fact that i may have missed a part of it and the novel is far from finished) but just understand that the message it has to tell is quite beautiful in its own way.

Writing Quality: If in the translation of google was legal, then it is decent ... but excessively detailed and divinizes the protagonist from the first evolution. Stability of Updates: I did not follow up Story Development: good, until introducing the emperor system, which completely changes the protagonist and turns him into an incredible man who, despite saying that the challenges are very difficult, he completes without any preparation and soon after receiving the challenge (and the author loses inspiration and he wins by luck and in a way surprises ... he only kills the helpers (with super venom darts) before fighting directly with the patriarch and killing him with a surprise attack done in front of him, disregarding the ability to divert or to feel the energy accumulated in the weapon), which as a reward receives a low art divine bid that automatically gives him the knowledge of "" "" "" basic "" "" "" "" "" of how to use a spear and soon after a personage faces hundreds of levels greater than him and is superior to her in one aspect of the spear) Character Design: legal some things the author forces for the progress of the work but nothing much, not to be clear by the absurd and illogical talent that the protagonist has him being a mortal, orphan and undernourished, and the author's failed attempt to give depth and the protagonist retelling past deeds and repeatedly emphasizing that he has an incredible will (which only appears when it is convenient) even though we already know this from the beginning (the author is also lazy to think about the powers of the spirits and presents only what the protagonist will want and makes the protagonist seem dumb and ***** for not looking at the other options available) World Background: fuse rpg with wuxia in an interesting way, exaggerate in some things is not bad, just tiring to read and another fucking protagonist who does "difficult" things easily, receives a lot of the system and so on, I even think that if you read the first chapters (up to 2 evolution, that of space, and skip 30-40 chapters you will be able to understand what happened up there without any difficulties).

A True Gem in the Ocean of Original Novels in webnovel Highly underrated. Really explores the intricacies of human relationships Slightly depresses me but very real. Has good amount of Humour as well I Highly Recommend One of the best Original Novels (my Opinion)

The Characters in this one are just AMAZING. MC started out an arrogant little nobody that got on my nerves at first but i stuck with it for the blacksmith cultivation in the title.(love that ****) A few more chapters in and I was introduced to relationships, personalities, and eventually what the standard cultivation universe would have on ones very existence. 11/10 would rethink my meaning for existence again.

I thoroughly enjoyed first 25 of so chapters, but then it was like, chapter backstory, chapter foreshadowing, half chapter content, half chapter world building/world backstory, 2 chapter contentish filler, 1 chapter foreshadowing, 2 chapter debating meaning of life, and it just wasn't enjoyable, I don't want to have to re-read a chapter just to understand the basic concept of what they say, I don't care if I have to re read for understanding, but I want to at least grasp the concept after reading a whole chapter about it, it felt like the author was trying too hard to be mysterious, I feel that if the author wrote a book without cultivation and levels, that focused on deepness, the part that caused me to drop the book could have been good, but I feel it just didn't fit well with the beginning of the book, where the story profession of 1 chapter happens over 4 with a bunch of enigmatic chats in between, also please don't ***** at me to read more because "it gets better eventually", because that can be said for the majority of things, and I don't have an infinite amount of time, so I'd rather spend it doing things I enjoy

A ROYAL ROAD VETERAN ENTERED THE STAGE Sadly, this novel is buried under the trash of many original novels here. So, what can you expect from this novel? Action ✅ Adventure ✅ Fantasy ✅ Character Development ✅ And much more. Seriously your time won't be wasted if you read this.

MUST READ The story is a must read it has the special uniqueness to it. I am still thrilled to read it after already reading the story for the 3rd time. The story is also well written and takes the reader on a humours roller coaster.

Man oh man was this a trip... I'm not even sure where to start. It was such an incredible journey following our MC and the various side trips from his brutal beginnings to the really well wrapped up ending (that didn't drag on or end abruptly). While the start is pretty cliche to most wuxia novels, the character development, feelings, and overall story certainly were not. From the highs to the lows, I shed quite a few tears in the many strong moments this novel had, and I often found myself stopping and introspecting about some of the incredible quotes that are dropped and how they might relate to me in real life, even re-evaluating some facets of it. Makes me really wonder more about the author with regards to the pieces of wisdom throughout, as well as question his sanity for coming up with so many creative insults (although I do wish there was a wee bit less of this, as the humor breaks some of the moments for me, but perhaps that solidifies Lino's character for us). I think l've read around 40ish "light" novels in this genre, and this is definitely one of the few at the peak. I really think that most of you readers out there won't regret reading this.

I've been on this app for a while now, but this is hands down one of the best novels I've ever read. The story is amazing and never gets sluggish or boring like most cultivation novels do. The characters are multidimensional and continuously changing, with the interactions between them never being forced or dull. The twists and turns are always shell-shocking and leave you dying to read the next chapter. The only thing I didn't love about this book was that I never wanted it to end, but it did. Dear author, please send this to an editor so I can get a hardback copy and have everyone I know read it.
