I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

POSSIBLY, ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS THAT CAME OUT THIS YEAR! This novel definitely hits the quality bar of the xianxias that we all hold dear to our hearts. The MC is very practical, with enough steadiness that makes the reading surprisingly smooth. There is lack of a huge conflict, which plagues many xianxias. This in turn gives us a bit more time to explore the world along with the MC. Personally, what I really like about the novel is the interactions. Everything seems so natural and real. I feel a breath of fresh air from all the conversations. Definitely looking forward to it getting picked. If not, it would be a huge loss otherwise to the webnovel community.

The first of the new batch that I have read. This one is interesting. We have the concept of luck that all protagonists seem to have in abundance. This is not saying that the author creates several different options giving each a value based and weights chance based on luck. Then rolls a dice to determine the outcome. No the authors arbitrarily assign seemingly impossible positive lucky events over and over again to most protagonists. In this story instead of going that route, we have the protagonist getting a lucky trait that allows him to improve his overall luck as well as to leverage his luck towards increasing the odds of unlikely events occurring. From improving the success rate of various procedures to improving the likelihood of a low probability event that improves his bodies talent permanently. We start off with this guy transmigrating into a somewhat precarious situation in he is in a female disciples room when she then brings her fiance to break their engagement. His presence offends the powerful male and the female now has him on a leash as she is who now provides protection from the male. Normally this would not be all that bad, except that our MC also has a 'system' style interface that allows him to see himself and others. Hers shows that she must be a spy and a demonic cultivator wanting to use him as a cauldron. Fortunately for our MC he is able to steel a certain amount of 'luck value' from those who create some sort of misfortune for him. With this ability his involvement with the demonic female cultivator is not a terrible thing at least not on the short term, as her use of him does not cause him permanent damage at least for now. From this point he goes and joins the alchemy division of the sect. This allows him to fully leverage his luck manipulation talent to build himself up in preparation for separating himself from the female demonic cultivator. From this point forward he is working on his skills, talent, and cultivation level for the next several years. The female leaves after 4 months of using him, which allows him to work on his own cultivation while leveraging his luck to help him. Her being a demonic cultivator he is afraid that if he improves his root talent without some sort of potential cause she mite be able to sense the change and get suspicious. Overall from my perspective I love this story. He is not a protagonist character who has amazing luck where everything is automatically going to go his way. Instead the concept of him manipulating his luck in non-consumable ways satisfies me as a reader.

I started that thinking that the MC would be farming literally my disappointment is incommensurable and my day is ruined

this is a pretty good novel featuring a system that is more a "faster training" ability than the absurd op wish fulfilment systems often seen, while still being being a very good ability. the protag is also rather cautious and this lacks any forced plot, while having an interesting world background set up. unfortunately, it was dropped before reaching 300 chapters,

novel was abandoned, so no point in really reading this.

Trash Another waste of time novel......

I would normally give a high rating because the writing is good and the story slow but interesting enough.The problem is: the protagonist is a stupid and unsympathetic moron.Someone is a theat to him and his sect.He TOTALLY ignores the threat to his sect.For short term advantages he would trade all his secrets.He is an alchemist with a very high success rate, but he is low on money.Etc.... it's just not fun to read about a moron.

I give this story about average 4 star, and 1 star in updating stability. Why only in updating? Because this story is already dropped by the author. There's no ending in here, albeit story up to the latest is still interesting enough to read for me. The last chapter is chapter 276 (in chinese)Here is the prove of author dropping this:New book released: "Cultivating Immortal Path Starting from Getting Married"Sigh, I think many of you might have noticed last month that I really couldn't continue writing this book. In fact, a long time ago, I hit a wall while writing this book. A big part of the reason was my own arrogance. I thought I could write while also coming up with the outline. But in reality, writing without an outline is just suicidal; I can't write a single word. After all, it's impossible to maintain a good writing state every day; there are times when my mind goes blank. And once that happens, it triggers a chain reaction. So even though the new book is just being released now, I actually started working on the outline and setting it up last month.Originally, I thought I would just come up with an ending for this book, but I really don't know what to write anymore. I can only say that the beginning of this book was indeed good, but I didn't manage it well. For the new book, I won't make this kind of arrogant mistake again. Sigh, I won't say much more, afraid of being scolded by everyone. The new book, "Cultivating Immortal Path Starting from Getting Married," was inspired by "Furious Speed," and it's kind of a fantasy version of it. If you like it, you can give it a read. I'm sorry, and I bow my head in apology! Ozr!!!You may notice a familiar title, I think that one is Eternal Life Begins with Taking Wife, also in here. Why I gave that much rating, my gratitude toward the author for this story (the 4 star one)

Looking forward to it. [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]

I understood from the name mc... he has no brain, mc has no logic. mc mentality is garbage. the system is in the hands of the wrong person. mc is stupid. there is no logic in the novel.

I've read up to c353, so this novel can be considered alright just based on that. It kept me engaged enough to read that far and the translation is mostly decent throughout. Of course, there are a few erogious errors - for example, I really really wish whoever is editing this novel ran a find and replace on "shapeshift" and just replaced every single instance of that word with "Dharma Idol", since that's clearly what's being referred to - but I digress. The basic plot is that there's a guy in a sect and he secretly cultivates super-OP powers to get stronger. The bombastic opening involves him arriving in his transmigrated body and finding himself in a woman's bedroom and being told to hide from her angry lover. It's a fun opening gambit but, unfortunately, the rest of the book fails to live up to that opening. I would say that the first 100~ chapters of the book are well-plotted out, extremely coherent, and enjoyable to read. Then from chapter 100-240(ish) the book is a series of singular events that are strung together into a barely coherent whole that is still more or less enjoyable to read, but the cracks have begun to show. Finally, past chapter 240, the book starts to come apart at the seams as the author forgets about earlier plot threads and begins throwing in all sorts of events in between massive timeskips (for example, one day the MC decides to randomly invent and propagate smartphones amongst cultivators, leading to an unrealistically good outcome where he becomes the wealthiest man ever and the whole cultivation world calms down and become more peaceful because they want to browse forums and play not-League of Legends on their not-smartphones). The whole farce lasts about 30~ chapters, including 2 chapters where some rando is livingstreaming his ghost-hunting so we can get the full urban cultivation novel experience - at least for a few chapters before the author forgets about it and never mentions it again. The book (poorly) apes better novels with "steady" main characters. At times it really feels like a bad knock-off of books like "My Senior Brother Is Too Steady" or "Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years". Too many plot threads just get dropped, go nowhere, or even get randomly retconned to make the story flow, especially when he transitions from the "Lower Realm" to the "Upper Realm". After he breaks through to the nascent soul realm the entire process of him going to the Upper Realm is completed in two chapters, with zero closure for any of the people or things in the Lower Realm. There's no scene where he bids farewell to his master or sect master, and like two paragraphs where it's explained how he randomly brushes off the women who were in his life up to that point. The woman who he sleeps with in Chapter 1 was clearly supposed to be important to the story at one point. He has a long-standing relationship with her during the first 100 chapters of the book, including multiple brief POV switches to her perspective which give the reader some insight into her nefarious plans - but all of that gets thrown in the trash and she gets a "new" backstory during the "ascending to the Upper Realm" arc so that her cultivation level and aspirations can barely keep up with MC. It really feels like a massive retcon when it happens, but she's barely even in the story anymore by the time it all gets "revealed" so it's hard to get too upset. I think that's my biggest problem with this story. The author really failed to keep the interesting elements of the story in the freaking story. MCs cheat was thoroughly and carefully explained in the early chapters, and it was engaging to watch him painstakingly grind out his proficiencies in various skills and be rewarded, but the system all but disappears after chapter 100 or so. Sure, it's still there, but the detailed explanations are gone and 99% of the time when it gets mentioned it's just because MC is using it as an "Appraisal" tool. At the start of the story, MC makes a big deal of using the System to collect Luck and raise his spiritual root aptitude, but both of those stats disappear around the time he hits the Golden Core Realm, in a way where it more feels like the author forgot about them as opposed to the author willingly deciding to phase them out of the story. The same can also be said of pretty much every side character. The first 100 chapters were the most fun to read because MC had various relationships to maintain - with his senior brother, with his master, with the sect master, with a handful of women, etc... - but they all more or less disappear later on. Some of them also go to the Upper Realm, but even so they're still pretty much out of the story. After reading other reviews I found that this novel was dropped by the author, and I think it's obvious why. At any rate, my final verdict is that the early part of the novel are an alright read, and I don't really regret reading as much as I did, but it's a shame how things went downhill.

This novel is dropped!!! This novel is dropped!!! This novel is dropped!!! This novel is dropped!!! This novel is dropped!!! This novel is dropped!!!

This book is good but author has dropped it. So, if you wish to read a book that has an ending, don't start this one.

No actual farming for crops. Was a disappointment....................................................................................................

The plot and mc is fine, but the story is too annoying. The MC is constantly having his plans ruined by annoying side characters.

....................... .. .. ............

Entire novel MC is as stable as possible.. MC does get get involved in events but not as forced as in SBITS.. MC is not directly involved in those events rather he's like one of the people involved who barely pushes things from the background only if absolutely necessary type.. and takes all measures to be as safe as possible and make his presence known only to an extent which maximise benefits n is safe enough. Compared to SBITS schemes don't stand out as much or there's really not much scheming.. it's just thinking several steps ahead or being the oriole in "mantis stalking a cicada not knowing there is an oriole behind". MC has rituals for praying(flattering) heaven/heaven's will before breakthroughs n stuff.. Though it's not obvious if there's heaven's will like in SBITS, it does increase his luck everytime. Main difference from SBITS can be said to be the system. MC creates tech similar to ones in his previous life to get resources to assist his cultivation. So about the system.. it's mainly based on luck since he selected a luck based luck talent.. MC selects luck cuz the system is similar to some game he played in his previous life and in that advancement of cultivation or refining stuff have some percentage of chance which can be increased by consuming luck.. In cultivation only breakthroughs or quality after breakthroughs are affected by luck (SBITS - Senior brother is too steady)

why no updates ? 1

too much info dump. too much inner thoughts. narration is often in a roundabout way with no ends of it, repeating the same thing over and over again. too many time skip ends up to age inconsistencies and bad character development.
