I've been following this novel ever since it was first written, and I have to say, it is one hell of a story. Three protagonists and yet the writing doesn't seem clunky at all, amazing! The first thing that pops up is the style in which the author adopts cultivation. Instead of slowly presenting every topic and concept one by one as the plot progresses, the author visits both extremes at the same time, the implementation of multiple protagonists a very good approach in not only introducing the concept to the reader, but also explaining it from the character's point of view. While sometimes overlapping definitions can be slightly redundant, it is also necessary and what makes this novel so special - in that the differences in characters' actions are accurately portrayed. Though the novel's plot has not significantly developed yet, the author has yet to fall into the trap of repetitive, dull characters that seem to only exist as temporary articles to give the protagonist a power up or technique, etc. However shortly defined or lack of definition attributed to a character, it's easily observable that the novel has potential - the characters all seem to have some significance to the protagonists' behaviors. The lack of dialogue and explosive drama is one thing, but I think it is more than compensated for by the slow but steady buildup, and the author's methodology of displaying internal monologue by actions, not ****** statements. Although there isn't much talking in the initial portions of the novel, I can see that it was intentional - after all, it would be rather odd for a character to be talking to themselves unless there was something wrong with their consciousness. Dialogue is present when there are multiple characters and conversation would facilitate the character and plot development, and world building. Dialogue isn't present when characters are in a solo environment to indicate that they are alone, and that conversation isn't required to advance the plot, instead focusing on world development. The balance in which the author manages this for not just a single protagonist, but three, is simply superb. Though early, the novel truly begins to shine its potential here. The best part about the novel until now, is the fighting scenes, and the world development. Just from reading, the attention to detail and descriptive words allows for the reader to simply relax and envision the scene enacting in their mind - without any need to wonder what exactly a certain technique entailed in a typical cultivation novel. The techniques displayed by the characters are completely realistic with implementations of supernatural phenomena, which makes the novel even more fantastic. The attention and care the author gives to the novel is obvious, and as a reader, I'm thankful for that. I would say the only problem here would be the lack of a 'daily update', so to speak. Although the author posts around the same time each day, I would suggest establishing publishing timers to appear on the "Daily Updates" tab. Good Work!
