while my body strength became that of an early iron rank
since master was satisfied with the result of my training [more like satisfies her sadistic side] she gives me a day off

''yes you only need 100 achievement point  for both'' she said
When i heard that i went directly to the internet and ordered a ton of A4 papers i spend almost all i have of money i wait only an hour for my papers to come
half of the apartment became only papers
then i print every popular novel without regarding if it was japanese,korean or even a wuxia novel
after the novels end then comes manga i only stopped when it became the midday
after eating the lunch i went to closest novel publisher company
i didn't wait for long before a man in his early thirties invited me to his table he said a friendly manner
'' my name is Hong jiang you can call me hong can please give me  what you wrote pleas''
'' ah my name is long yan nice to meet you and yeah this is the novel  i came with today'' long yan said as he took a huge envelope from his backpack
mr hong didn't even let me say a word he took the envelope and took the paper and start reading

Chapter 1
Becoming a Starter Level Author
by : 314 (Yang Chen)

Previously, in the general article on "Webnovel author levels' standards", I separated webnovel authors into five different levels. But actually, there's a hidden sixth level – total beginners that aren't even at starter level. This refers to complete newcomer authors that have zero experience and have never written a single word for a webnovel.

Still, not everyone needs beginner level guides, even if they're a pure newcomer. Of course, if you're an established author who has experience writing long novels, feel free to ignore this article and move on to the next one, regardless of whether or not your story was successful. Or, perhaps you've never written long novels, but have the natural talent to write as easily as you drink water. In that case, there's no need for you to read this beginner level article anymore.

In fact, there's even plenty of newcomer authors that feel like it's incredibly difficult for them to write a short, several hundred word long essay, or to write an end-of-year reflection. But, when such newcomer authors try writing webnovels for the first time, they find their minds clearing up, with the ability to write like they are possessed, with storyline flowing out from under their proverbial pens just like a stream of water. Newcomers like these naturally don't need to read a beginner level guide like this one, either.

Those who truly need to read this article are those who put their hands at writing webnovels, but find that their minds are empty or filled with mud the moment they open up their computer documents. Perhaps you're a newcomer author who tried thinking for an entire day but only managed to write a few hundred words that even you think is garbage.

In such a case, for newcomers like you, how should you improve your writing, and write your first thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand words? How do you take the first step in becoming a god of writing?

I personally believe that you can try the several following tips.

1: Adjust your mentality and create a precise writing goal for yourself.

Unlike most other jobs, success as a webnovel author doesn't always come step by step. Some sufficiently talented newcomer authors are completely capable of earning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, on their very first novel. A single novel can make an author into a master, or even a grandmaster. There are also veteran authors who have been stuck at a certain level for a long time who might one day have an epiphany and find a new writing style more suitable for him or herself, turning them into a master overnight.

However, the cruel reality is, no matter if it's a newcomer becoming a master overnight, or a veteran suddenly improving, there's one condition that's an absolutely necessary prerequisite—

The author needs to already have strong writing skills. This means that such a wonderful thing is unlikely to have anything to do with you who's reading this article, as you're not even at the beginner level.

For authors who aren't even at the starter level, there's only one goal that you should be setting for yourselves. That goal is to be able to naturally write a long novel. To be more specific, there's two major goals within this goal.

The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.

This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.

Of course, from a professional standpoint, a story written for the sake of practice doesn't really need to have that many words in it. That's because in theory, an author who's capable of finishing a 500,000-word long novel has already learned the foundational writing skills necessary. As long as such an author has a complete outline for their story, writing two or three million words will no longer be so difficult.

The second goal is to be able to write approximately five thousand words every day. Simply speaking, you must be able to write quickly.

This is because there's a huge number of webnovels out there, giving you immense competition. Based on webnovel readers' typical reading habits, only stories that have consistent updates will be able to obtain and maintain popularity. For a super consistent release, the lowest requirement is to update at least two chapters per day.

One chapter might have an average of around 2500 words. At the very minimum, they should at least be longer than 1500 words. This is why, for a webnovel author to become successful, their writing speed must be at minimum three to five thousand words per day. When calculating this by months, this means that you need to write at least 45,000 to 75,000 words per month. This is the most basic requirement.

Those are all the prerequisite conditions for newcomer authors to develop into starter level webnovel authors. At this level, the quality of your writing isn't that important. Nor is the popularity of your novel important, either. Being able to write a long novel and write quickly are the two main goals that you as a newcomer author should strive for.

Something that should be noted is that at this level, you should pay more attention to improving your own ability, rather than worrying about your story. There are no tests for you, nor are there any grades. By the time you're in the middle of the story, if you notice that you're having an easy time writing and can easily write five thousand words per day, in addition to having a clear outline for your entire novel, then congratulations. This means that you're now a starter level webnovel author.

2: Choose an appropriate genre and topic.

With the development of webnovels, there's so many genres out there already – eastern fantasy, high fantasy, martial arts, xianxia, modern, mystical, historical, military, gaming, competitions, science fiction, fan fiction…

All these genres have their own specialties, and have different popularity factors and important things to keep in mind when writing. Also, they all have different degrees of difficulty when writing them. Still, what needs to be noted is that these different genres will have varying degrees of difficulty for different authors.

Perhaps one author will find it incredibly painful to write historical fiction, while writing a mystical story is fun and relaxing for him. Meanwhile, another author might find it incredibly easy to write historical fiction, while writing a modern day novel feels all sorts of awkward for her.

Obviously, for authors that are total beginners, you should choose the easiest type of story to write for you. But, what if you don't even know what genre you should be starting out in?

Allow me to recommend a few easy genres for newcomer authors.

1: Fan fiction

Fan fiction refers to using an already existing story's characters and setting as the basis to create new stories. This is a type of story modification.

For example, you could write a story and call it "Harry Potter and His Adventures". This story could be about how Harry Potter ended up with Hermione, or how he has multiple girlfriends. This is an example of a fan fiction about Harry Potter.

What needs to be noted is that in the large majority of situations, fan fiction authors don't actually have the copyright to their own stories. Even if you wrote every single word of your fan fiction novel by yourself, you still have zero right to use your novel for any commercial purposes.

But, even so, fan fiction is still one of the best choices for total beginner authors. The reason is that they are quite simple to write.

When writing fan fiction, you don't need to think about a complicated world background or any detailed settings. Nor do you need to create a large amount of characters. Even the fan fiction's story can be inspired from the original novel. All these things, especially creating the setting and characters, are what newcomers typically have the most trouble with.

Basically, writing fan fiction will greatly simplify the writing process, directly avoiding the most difficult part of all. Without a doubt, this is the easiest way for newcomer authors to get started.

As for what story to base your fan fiction on, it first needs to be a story that you as an author have already read and are familiar with. Also, it's best if it's a story you truly love, perhaps even reading it several times over. This is the basic requirement for writing fan fiction.

On top of all that, I would recommend choosing to write fan fiction about a story whose copyright has already expired, such as "Romeo and Juliet" or "Don Quixote" and so on. Or, it would be best if you could somehow obtain permission directly from the author of the work that you intend to write fan fiction about.

Of course, even if you have no way to contact the author or obtain their permission, it's still fine to write fan fiction. This just means that you can only write for free, without earning any profits, and also respect the original author of the work. After all, for newcomer level authors like you, learning and improving your writing is the most important part. Since your novels are unlikely to be commercially viable at this stage, it's not all that important even if you write a fan fiction novel that you're not allowed to profit from.

2. Modern novels

This genre refers to novels that take place in a modern day urban setting. The city background is typically where the author has lived and is familiar with.

Compared with fan fiction, modern novels have the added difficulty of having to create your own characters. Still, it does decrease the amount of trouble you have to go to in creating a setting. Not only that, when writing character introductions, you can save a lot of effort in having to explain a lot of common knowledge, such as what a character's job entails, or their social status. Saving all this effort is quite precious for newcomers.

And compared to fan fiction, modern novels have their own advantages as well. That is to say, the author can more easily write themselves into the main character, making the storyline easier to think about. Normally speaking, all you need to do is to give the main character a special cheat, or a unique advantage, and the rest will flow as naturally as water.

For example, there's a very popular modern novel with a reincarnated main character. The protagonist has only a very simple cheat—being reincarnated to several years in the past. This is quite an easy scenario for newcomer authors to insert themselves into. Just think about it, if you can reincarnate back to the past with all your memories intact, what will you do?

Most authors can probably imagine it. If you return to several years in the past with knowledge of the future, there's just far too many ways of earning money. Even if you have zero business skills, can't remember a single stock market pick, and don't remember who won the World Cup of Soccer, at the very absolute minimum, shouldn't you know something like what company you should invest in?

Apart from earning money, don't you, the author, have any other regrets as well? For example, do you regret not treating your parents better while they were still alive? Do you regret choosing the wrong major in college? Are you embarrassed at your awkward attempts to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

And so on, and so forth. Why are you afraid of not being able to think of plots for your storyline and making it longer?

As for the specific details, those are quite easy as well. For example, if you intended to sell off everything you owned back in the day and take out a huge loan to invest in one specific company, what would your parents say, and how would they react? How would all your other friends and relatives react as well? Who would you try to borrow money from, and how would they respond? What's the specific process of investing in a company, and what procedures are necessary? What if the company you invest in temporarily loses value after you invest in it? Would your parents complain at you and tell you to retract your investment? And how will people react after the company you invested in suddenly does super well and you make a huge profit? And, what will you do with the money…

Just this one storyline arc about investing in a company has plenty of content to write about even simply by following the natural process of how people would act. And if you use that as the foundation and intentionally write some conflicts, such as how the protagonist discovered that his friend who he wanted to borrow money from is actually investing in a different company, how he pretended to have a casual attitude when opening up an investment account made the investment company female employee misunderstand him to be someone really rich, or how people scoffed at him after investing in a company and he made a bet…

Wouldn't you agree that all these related events can add plenty of content to your story? Not only that, it shouldn't be all that difficult even for a newcomer author to write such a story arc.

Even if you're one of the few who feel like you lack imaginative prowess, and you don't have the confidence to create interesting scenarios and conflicts, well, there's still one more advantage of writing a modern story—you can borrow ideas from plenty of sources.

The most direct sources of all would be television dramas, especially those set in the current day. This should be easy to understand.

Apart from television shows and movies, there's also hot topics in society, the news, or local gossip and family conflicts… These are sources that are easy to overlook or maybe often considered boring. But actually, it's quite common to make some modifications and write them into your own novel and borrow from such sources.

This is why, from a certain standpoint, modern novels are the easiest novels for newcomers to begin with and to write a long story about.

3. Imitations

Imitation type novels aren't a particular genre, but they can belong to any genre. While this may seem rather contradictory, it actually means that a newcomer author could try selecting one of his or her own favorite and most familiar novels and imitate it. This isn't limited by genre.

Imitation could be shallow, or it could be a close imitation as well.

To give a theoretical example, perhaps the original story has a main character named Zhang San, who's the son of the sect leader of Green Castle. Your imitation novel could try having a main character named Li Si, who's the son of the sect leader of the Wudang Sect. The original story had Zhang San falling off a cliff and miraculously surviving while also obtaining a book containing a miraculous cultivation technique. After he successfully powered up, Zhang San was sent by his father to go undercover in the Demon Sect, where he fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's daughter. Your story could try having Li Si being ambushed while cultivating and becoming seriously injured, but miraculously having a great breakthrough in cultivation due to overlapping coincidences. Afterwards, Li Si went undercover in the Demon Sect in an effort to investigate who ambushed him, and fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's granddaughter…

This type of imitation requires even less creative effort from the author compared to fan fiction. From a certain standpoint, this is really cutting it close to becoming plagiarism. Yet, it's still undeniable that this is a usable method for newcomer authors to improve their own skills.

But, please note that this type of writing style is only suitable for practicing your writing. If your story is too much of an imitation, it'll be impossible to even make it public. That's because unlike fan fiction, even if you don't use it for commercial purposes, you've still plagiarized and violated the original author's copyright. It might even spoil certain plots from the original story and affect its sales and popularity.

That's why this type of learning via imitation, in principle, isn't really one of the better ways to learn. More accurately speaking, this is the final way to learn available to total beginner authors that have failed at attempting all other self-training methods.

In normal circumstances, after half a month to a month of imitation practice, the author should have some more insight into writing. The author can learn how to design storylines and write descriptions. At such a time, the author can stop trying to imitate and begin developing a completely original novel on their own.

!! Thankyou !!

"You can't just keep taking my body over like this," Spring said. "We had a deal."

"No," Winter replied "I just wanted your permission to enter your body. Everything else was just to trick you more easily."

"..."

"So... Wanna hear about your sister, or still wanna keep whining like a little b**ch..."

 No swearing.

"Why'd you censor that? I was gonna say b**ch of lemmings."

 B**ch of lemmings?

"B**ch! B**CH. BUNCCH! There. Why you keep censoring b**ch? I literally had to make a typo to get it through your filters."

 Oh... Bunch? Sorry... I say B, C, and H, in the context of being an insult, and I just...

"Are we gonna keep doing this cheap joke? Or can we continue with the story?"

 Sorry, just... Uh... Stop talking to me?

"Yep, that one's overdone too. Just stop that. Enough cheap jokes. Please."

 Shameless plug: Read Seasons. Tis good.

"They are literally reading Seasons right now! STOP WITH THE CHEAP JOKES!"

"Um... Who are you talking..."

 Shut! This doesn't concern you!

"Shut up Spring! This doesn't concern you!"

"But my sister, and my body, and..."

Winter sighed. "Fine. Your sister, she ded. Your body, tis mine. End."

 Seriously though. What is wrong with her body? I'm kinda curious too.

Winter sighed again "She's extremely talented at ice magic. So much so that it means her doom."

 You're not making any sense here.

"Too much of anything is a bad thing. This applies to talent and shameless plugs as well. Seriously, I know you can't feel shame, but you're embarrassing me."

 Back to the topic plz.

"Nuff with the texting language too. That's getting... Did you just autocorrect nuff to nuff? Nuff! Nuff! Enouugh! Did you autocorrect enouugh to nuff? Is making typos a necessary skill to learn just to speak in this novel?"

 ... Yes.

"I am this close to flipping a torrential on this entire novel. This close."

 Go ahead. I have a set judgment.

"Um..."

 Sh "Shut up Spring!" up Spring! 

"My sister..." Spring whimpered.

 Is this guy really a main character?

<Author's note: Unfortunately.>

Winter took a deep breath. "Your sister has an incredibly high affinity toward ice magic. Her affiniy is so high as o... Can you no? Did you jus disable he '' key?" Winer ook anoher deep breah.
"he key nex o 'R'?

 ...Yes.

<Auhor's noe: Okay... Sop. his is going oo far.>

 ... Fine. I was just feeling lonely...

"... ... ... Right. Your sister. I forgot. The end."

<Author's Note: Winter! Behave yourself!>

"But..."

<Author's note: The chapter's too short. We need to double the word count, at least.>

"Fine," Winter said. "But I'm not talking about this anymore. Arnold's pissing me off."

<Author's note: Just go into a flashback then. The classic trick of filling time. I'll disable Arnold for the rest of the chapter.>

"Okay, make me the narrator."

<Author's note: Done.>

"Um... My siste.."

<Author's note: Shut up Spring.>

 Shut up spring.

 Hey... This works.

 I'm the narrator now...

 Then a lightning bolt fell from the sky transforming Winter into a god.

<Author's note: If you abuse this I'll disable you too. The lightning bolt missed.>

 Aw...

Fine. This is a story from a long, long ti...

"Um..."

 Disable Spring too.

<Author's note: Will do.>

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. In fact, the galaxy was so far away, it was in a completely different novel. On a completely different website.

There was a little boy. His name was Winter.

 Oh, yeah, Iso, one question?

<Author's note: Shoot.>

 Can I stretch this over multiple chapters? This is pretty enjoyable.

<Author's note: ... Okay. But it should be good.>

 It's my backstory. Of course, it's good.

A young man reacted on instinct, throwing off his warm and comfortable covers, jumping up from his bed and put his clothes on. All of this was done in less than one breath. At this time most of the family sect disciples and even some of the servants were still sleeping.

The young man was between thirteen and fourteen years old, with a slim body and a childish face. 

He wasn't super handsome, but still good-looking. His eyes were especially clear and full of fighting spirit.

"Just a bit longer and I can reach the second rank of the Martial Path, then I'll have all those other 
Zh** family sect disciples shut up."

This young man's name was Winter. Half a year ago, he came from the Gr**n L**f Village's Zh** branch family to the S*n F**th*r Zh** main family sect, based on his superb performance.

<Author's note: Stop. This is just K*ng *f G*ds.>

 Oh? Should I go with a different novel then? How about D*s*l*t* *r*? Ch*ld *f l*ght?

<Author's note: How long were you planning on making this?>

 Like 700 chapters... How long is KoG?

<Author's note: You ****! Do you want me to get sued?>

 It's fine. As long as I censor all the proper nouns we'll be fine.

<Author's note: That's not how it works... Also who would read this?>

 Who's reading this now?

<Author's note: Fair enough. But no. Put your own backstory here.>

 It's basically the same thin...

<Author's note: I have read your backstory. It's nothing like this.>

 Just put a link then... Let the readers read the original.

<Author's note: Gobsuke took it down.>

 Ask him for a transcript and copy paste it here.

<Author's note: No. Get to work.>

 Fine... Next chapter then. We've almost made up the word count to 1000. A little bit here or there is fine.

 Fine. Don't do it, then. See if I care. In fact, I quit. Garbage novel, garbage author, annoying narrator,
@#$% the @#$% and @#$%.

In despair from the negative feedback, the author sits down, gets out his candles and blood, and ritual summons a narrator.

Unfortunately, the author is worse at picking a narrator than he is at writing.

Okay, guys, I could attempt to put it off for the later even more, but seeing how the end of the month is approaching and the later I attempt to tackle this elephant in the room, the harder it will get for me for various reasons, I finally managed to catch up to my responsibility as the author and do it now. Since I know that not everyone is interested in the author's rambling about real life and backside of the writing, I will provide you guys both with bullet points, short and long version. While bullet points will give the main reasons behind the current semi-hiatus status of the novel, the longer the version the deeper I will get into the proper reasons for everything.
BULLETPOINTS
- You could say that I'm slowly burning out
- With the development of the story, my writing ability grew along. Now I'm faced with the issue of keeping the quality I deem worth my time instead of just providing easy-to-digest trash and fillers
- I need to decide the future of the story (plotwise) and the future of the story (IRL-wise)
- A lot of stuff is happening to me right now IRL (new house, starting uni, sudden realisation its actually a paid course, several decisions I had to make due to those etc)
- I'm at the crossroads both for this, and for all my other novels. Depending on my decision, something huge could be either created or not.
What about the future?
- Can't promise constant releases from now on. I just... Can't. Doing so would prove to be an irresponsible move that would only further dig away at any of the trust you might still have in me. Right now, I have no idea what will be happening to me tomorrow, so I can only think about stabilising my writing once I'm done stabilising my life.
- I'm not dropping this novel. No way in hell. I spent too much time, effort and love writing it, to just drop it like that. It might take me a while to sort everything out, but once I will be done, I intend to ramp up the updates to the level of the early sloth, that created this legend of this sloth belonging to the elite circle of actually hardworking authors.
SHORT STORY
Okay, guys, there actually won't be a long story but I'm too lazy to fix the early part. Here, I will try to follow the bullet points above, and elaborate a bit more on them, in order to let you make sense of everything.
1. Burning out? - This phrase is both right and wrong. So far, with just the general idea of where I wanted to take the story to, I could produce those chapters, come with small plots, little enemies... But once I was actually about to decide whether to finish the (personally unfulfilling) introductory arc to the great continent... I kinda got stuck. 
There was no bigger picture behind the next chapter. There was no greater idea about what could be the underlying reason for everything. Once I finished the last chapter... I was just empty. For the very first time since I started writing this novel, I had genuinely no idea where to take this story. That alone was enough to petrify me, and excuse myself from actually tackling this problem by sitting down and logically taking the earlier bits of the story to figure out where it would lead me down the line. But that brings us to another point.
2. Quality vs quantity? 
As some of you might already know (I think everyone realises that after reading their second cultivation novel) but even cultivationsque novel like this one, has a certain structure. There is a world a, continent a, location a. Once your main character becomes strong enough, you move him to the location b, c, d, e, f etc. When you can't find any realistic reason for the growth to continue at such small scale, you start moving to continent b, c, d etc, and then you ramp it up to worlds a, b, c, d...
You could say that while I set the foundation for the existence of "world B" in my story, it was never intended to act in the way described above. Only before I actually started to figure out the plot that would happen there, did I still harbour any ideas of following this general scheme described above. But when I actually started building up for the potential transition between the worlds, the entire topic of the dual worlds and the mechanics behind it were already too big to make it just a simple repeatable growing scheme. 
But that's how long novels sadly work. There is a limit to power growth. And I don't want to follow the old rule of making my MC's ability all useless in the new world. It's not satisfactory for the author, nor it is for the readers. Following through with the schematic for the cultivation story that I described above would be easy, but would make me abhor both this novel and myself for doing so. Hence, I decided that taking my time to actually figure out an integral and real way in which I can make this story deeper, would be a better idea in the long term.
3. Future
Let's start with the plot-wise part. Right now, I have some ideas as to which direction I want to take this story, both in terms of the short-term chapters and their long-term effects, I still have yet to decide on one. I can't stall this choice, as it has to be made in the very few next chapters I will write. That's why, before I will be absolutely sure what I want to do with this story, I will take my time to properly figure it out.
As for the real life part... I'm not going to lie guys. So far, this is my most earning novel, and the major part of the income that makes it possible for me to survive off writing alone. Being a newly approved uni student (kinda late with that but wth, uni is open for all ages, being 4 years late is not a problem), I can't help but jump with joy whenever I think about what I managed to create and how it influences my life. But there is one undeniable problem that this story has.
It's beginning... Is awful. Awful grammar, awful plot, awful character-writing. There is not a single point that I'm proud off in the begining outside of the comedy bits. Yet, it still somehow managed to grew to this insane (for me) point. That's why:
Right now, I still need to take care of my IRL life. Uni costs, finding a roommate to settle in the other room, starting the uni itself in a few days, settling properly in the city... I have a lot of stuff going on right now. But as soon as I will regain my inner and outer peace, I will give back the love to this novel, because I still believe that what I did with it in the latter chapters turns it from the shit it was in the begining into a gold I consider it to be now.
4. Crossroads
- To make it simple, all three of my currently ongoing novels (soon to be subject to change) are in different genres. This one starts as a comedic parody of cultivation and smut, Road to the Crown is historical kingdom-building one, set as hard in the realism as I could possibly make it, while Rebirth of the Phoenix God (the one I'm currently most proud off) is pure fantasy. 
Yet, that doesn't stop me from picturing a way to connect all of them in a shared universe. How? I know how, that's all that matters. It's just something that came to my mind as I was figuring out the ending for the Road (I'm going to Uni, I actually need to learn there since I pay for it, so I had to minimalize the time I spend on writing. And as much as I love writing Road, it's just not worth my time with how little it earns). 
Kinda going back to the future of the battlesmut (this novel, can't be bothered to write the entire title) I have one, a certain idea that would allow me to give this novel a fulfilling end while opening the gates of the Slothverse, that would connect ALL of my current and possibly future novels. Whether or not I want to go through with this idea, is actually yet to be decided.
CLOSING STATEMENTS

- I can't promise the instant return of the daily releases. I will try to publish something whenever I have the time, but before I sort out my life, the stability won't return to this novel.
- There is a chance that this novel will be the gateway for the greater Slothverse that would connect all my novels in a shared realm. 
- Once the releases will stabilise, then I will hopefully keep them properly up all the way till the proper ending of the story.
I'M INCREDIBLY SORRY FOR LETTING YOU DOWN GUYS.
This part is what actually weighed me down and made it even harder to return to writing. With how proud I'm in my writing right now, the fact that I kinda gave up the title of a hardworking sloth makes me depressed every time I think about it. As soon as the life will give me a chance, I will do my absolute best to fix that misstep of mine, but I need you guys to understand that I'm at the point in life where writing cuz I love it is not enough of a motivation, and earning just enough not to starve isn't helping either, especially with how unstable this kind of job is, and how much I crave the stability now that I have the bills and food costs to pay. 


Did I reincarnate? Or was I transported to an Isekai cultivation world? To be honest, I have no clue!

What matters is that I turned from being useless, bullied, and trash, to fully-fledged garbage in my new cultivation world! 

But what is this strange bleep that keeps ringing in my ears? Is this some kind of system? Oh God! Did you gift me such a cliché, right at the start of my journey?

Wait, why are you trying to kill me? Did I do something to you? Stand back or I will be forced to use unstoppable Exhudia!

Tell me, what did she do for you to treat your significant other in this way? Let me show you how girlfriends should be taken care of!

Wait, everyone was always telling me that demons are bad, so why is this demonic queen trying to seduce me? Wait! KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM MY PRECIOUS SWORD!

I just came back from a mission and was promised at least a half a year of break. Why are you bothering me again with something as silly as subjugating a devil general?
