I can see why many would not continue reading it. Action starts at chapter 40.

No "systems", No "super fortuitous encounter", No "old man bestowing his million year old wisdom" No "dumb villains(preprogrammed to block MC's way" No "woman wanting to reserving her magic flower because MC is Mt. Tai" At least none that I have encountered yet. It's too early to say. It started boring but something about chapter 7 made me endure it and thank god I was not disappointed reading through 63. Aside from the writing quality and the "weird character names", I will support it for now. FYi, this is fast paced.
