This is one of the few novels I've consistently read since I found out about it and is one of the best crafted stories I've ever found. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in a cultivation novel and if you like this genre I doubt you'll regret reading it. I particularly appreciate the intelligence of the main character and find his personality very convincing. Also, I typically skip through battles in novels like these because I feel like they drag out too long, but here I can't think of many times where I felt like the story dragged them out too long.

I can confirm until the current latest chapter 1260 the story only get better and better. After chapter 700 in particular I would call it the best novel in this theme that I ever read. And in this whole story, the only time I felt the story became a bit slow was the Gold Core cultivation level thingy pretty early on (not sure what the translator here named it) and even that had a reason and it was due to the MC wanting to choose a specially hard way of breaking through.

I'd say that while he technically has a harem, this novel wouldn't be considered part of the harem genre.

WoW, glad to see my most loved Chinese novel finally coming to webnovels... I seriously hope some of the money earned from here go to the author of this story. I've been following him since 2014 and even made a qidian account to donate around 300$ to him in these few years just because I really love this novel and the author's financial situation is not really good. Anyway, this story start okay... But it get so much better as it continue onward... The author started at 2013 and been writing for the past 7~8 years, his writing improve so much over time and the latter chapters are pure awesomeness. I already read all up to date to the latest chapter 1260 and man I love this novel. There is so much great and unique techniques and foreshadowing and mystery you just can't help but enjoy, theories and look forward to their reveals. I have a big review from 2018 in novelupdate for this novel but it's full of spoiler (from Pedram in top reviews), so I keep this one spoiler free, but I just tell you that this novel is definitely work checking out even if you don't really like the early chapters. As the MC himself also grow a lot and his character become so much better that he became one of my most favorite later on.

Best xianxia in my opinion. I've read the MTL version of this novel till latest chapter and ~250c on Liberspark. Some nitpicking in the translation aside, this novel really is a breath of fresh air when you have crapton of similar things spread over most CNs. The world building is extremely good, great foreshadowing throughout the novel and most importantly, it involves comprehension based improvement, not just some legendary liquid coming from some ancient godmother which boosts you like hell sort of thing. Last of all(abstaining myself to keep the review short), the story-line is lovely as things progress.. one may even get emotional, not just by the main story-line but even from side characters' story. Very logical, worth spending time on, and is always great to discuss about.

I've been following this novel for several months now, been reading it at liberspark before it moved over here. The translating quality is top-notch, the novel itself is great and the cliffhangers...*agh* I really hope by this move, the author, translator, and everyone working on this novel gets a better and more stable income compared to Patreon for example.

Astral Pet Store

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world? There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh? I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day. Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that. I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets… It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it… Welcome to the World of Astral Pets!

Dual Cultivation God Returns

"Wu Long, the God of Pleasure, has fallen as he failed to breakthrough." This news have shocked all of the Seven Boundless Worlds. Meanwhile, a sixteen-year-old disciple of a dual cultivation sect was startled awake from a coma, and after some moments of calming down and gathering his thoughts, a dangerous light flickered deep in his eyes: "Jun Shaoshan, I will climb back to the top and make you pay for everything, no one has ever been safe after offending me, Wu Long!" -------------- Dual cultivation is a method of cultivation that can be seen described in a lot of cultivation novels where a man and a woman cultivates together by having sex. -------------- ***DIscord Link: https://discord.gg/JfSRtJVXTd The Image on the cover is AI-generated with some minor adjustments and text editing done over it. Please check the auxiliary chapter with Frequently Asked Questions since there may be some answers to the questions you might want to ask. If you want to ask questions regarding the novel before reading you can do so in the comment section of the said auxiliary chapter. If you have posted a review and it is not appearing on the novel page and not changing the novel score, it may have stuck in the system (happened in the past and occasionally happening now). Please comment under the FAQ auxiliary chapter mentioned above if you notice this happen. I can usually contact support in daytime on weekdays and the problem is fixed within days and the 'stuck' reviews appear on the page. Thank you XD -------------- ***The explicit chapters will be marked in the chapter name after the chapter number as (R18) and will contain no crucial plot, only explicit scene, so if you want to read it as a novel without explicit scenes you absolutely can by just skipping the explicit chapters. Though as a disclaimer: dual cultivation IS the theme of the novel so there will still be some provocative or slightly explicit content in the normal chapters, but not full-on long explicit scenes. ***Since it seems that there are a lot of people that are very particular about what they want I will put here some of the things to expect so that it is easier for people to decide if they want to read this or not: - NO yaoi, NO yuri, NO incest ; - NO rape ( it may be mentioned, but only as a thing that exists, not in relation to any particular character ); - MC's heroines will NEVER cheat on him; - MC's heroines will NOT ALWAYS have V cards (but there will be a lot of them who do); These are all non-negotiable so if you cannot tolerate a novel that adheres to any of the above sentences you should probably skip this one. !!! WARNING (ADVERTISEMENT) there will be MILFs. XD

Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Su Jie, capable of traveling between Blue Star and the Cultivation World, discovered that cultivation was just too difficult. Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, Pocket Worlds, and inherent comprehension—each was a mountain on the long road to immortality. Not until Su Jie found out that Demon Cultivators refined corpses by killing, extracted souls to cultivate fiends, and used fear as sustenance for their cultivation. Need souls to consecrate a Soul Summoning Banner? Get to know the pig farms that slaughter millions of pigs a year. Need human fear to cultivate fierce ghosts? Stock up on ghost houses, horror films, and horror games... Need fresh blood for Demon Techniques? Across the ocean, America is the world's largest grey market blood transfusion station... ...... Years later. "You devil, how many people have you killed? And you still have the face to call yourself a good person? Pah, today I shall act on behalf of heaven to mete out justice." The Tianyuan World's most beautiful person's eyebrows were furrowed with rage, as she stared at the terrifying Devil before her, enveloped in wronged souls, with thousands of ghosts parading on his Soul Banner, seated in a palace made of bones, she posed her soulful question. The Devil slowly stood up and pulled out a business card that read "Hua Country's Philanthropist of the Year / Founder of the World's Largest Chain of Ghost Houses / Owner of Blue Star's Largest Livestock Slaughter Business / Emerging Tycoon of the Entertainment Industry." "You see, I'm really not a devil, okay? Nowadays, who still uses such a lowly method as killing people to cultivate as a devil!"
