I really wanted to like this story. It does some things quite well, and at first it seemed like a really fresh experience, but after a while it began to seem like a one-trick pony. Basically it relies way, way too heavily on gimmicks. These gimmicks are what made the story interesting in the beginning, but the author seemed to lack the ability to properly incorporate them into a real story, and instead just made /everything/ about this gimmick, to the point that it becomes a crutch that eventually drags the story down. It tries very hard to be funny, and it does succeed at times, but mostly just hammers home the same juvenile, unfunny jokes until they become a serious annoyance. A good author would have taken that concept that worked in the beginning and subtly integrated it into a "proper" story, rather than relied on the gimmick to carry them through and overuse it again and again and never actually get to writing anything worth reading about.

It's really hard to find a series where this gets implemented, as, most of the time, it's gonna get repetitive as it drags out. (A Writer's block is true terror for most authors and readers man.) There's a lot of series where this happens tbh.

This is the current top Cultivation novel on qidian. For this novel, I would say this is the novel that most people are looking for. This is a very good novel that depicts what the mentality of a guy who read many novels got transported to a world where immortals are like dogs and schemes are everywhere. The mc in this novel is extremely cautious and steady as seen by the title of this novel. The novel is set in the world prior to Investiture of Gods Mythological battle. If some of you have read that then you'll love the novel and if some doesn't know the characters don't worry, the novel will lead you to a very good journey where you'll probably be laughing and at the same time see how treacherous a Cultivation World actually is. The main plot is that mc from earth who had weak body reincarnated to Great Desolate world which is the myth world that became after Pangu splitter the heaven and earth, this novel tells you about the antics of the mc as he tried to evade karma and doesn't want to be entangled with any sort of karma with anyone but the fate doesn't permit it and hilarious scenes ensues. This is a novel with primarily a comedic undertone a bit like CCG but this is probably the best in my opinion in terms of a Cultivation novel. Mc is too Cautious , he has several backup plans for every situation. He doesn't move unless he is 98% sure that he will succeed and this in turns get him into hilarious troubles lol. And all the characters are likeable and don't get discarded like your usual trash novels, they are always relevant throughout the story. As for the romance there are two girls confirmed currently in the raws and Don't worry it's not a novel of collecting girls like Pokemon. And the chaps with his junior sister are truly good. This is what a Cultivation novel should be. Plot ✓ Comedy ✓ Romantic Subplot ✓ Alpha mc ✓ Realism ✓ Scheming ✓ Battle of wits ✓ High Level Cultivation World ✓ Learning something every chap ✓ Relatable mc ✓ And many more Guys pls this give this novel a try. And pls just use coins to buy a single chap so that the contribution count can increase and the website Pickups this novel.
