This is the first WN I’ve read on this app and I’ve read around 50 other WN’s inbetween this WN and the review (I used other sites to read WN’s until I actually made an account), so my memory might be a bit hazy in terms of story development and world background. Writing Quality: 3.7/5 If I was the author I’d use a broader range of vocabulary, be more descriptive (quantity), and just have a detailed description (quality) if things like the surroundings, fights, etc. Writing Stability: 5/5 Not much to say here, 7-8 chapters a week consistently which is very good imo. Story Development: 3.2/5 Some plot holes here and there but nothing too major to the point where it’s detrimental to the story. It’s still too early to comment on this since this WN feels like it’ll easily be over 1000 chapters. I just hope the pace doesnt skyrocket out of nowhere and just becomes like your average cultivation novel right before the typical “holy continent” arc. Character Design: 3.5/5 It’s an odd mix of some characters are bland, some have an alright design, and some feel like actual humans. The MC has some dumb things about his personality like being overly paranoid of the system and his sponser. This category was originally going to be a 2.5/5, but after reading the recent chapters it looks like the huge main female cast might finally be getting some character development, so I decided to bump it to a 3.5/5. World Background: 3/5 From what I’ve read so far this has the potential to be a 5/5 if the author plans ahead carefully and doesn’t rush the rest of the story. In general, we haven’t been told that much about the world and beyond it, but it’s clear that the author has plans to talk about everything more in depth later on in the story. This is my completely objective review so even though i gave it an overall rating of 3.6/5 that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t entertaining or that i didn’t enjoy it. When VC reaches the 550 chapter mark I’ll update this review and make it way more detailed and in-depth, but until then the review stays as is. I hope everyone that reads this has a good day, cya💯

The best things about this novel are its light humour, pop culture references, and well though characters, their motivation and internal consistency

Ouch. Some people are just overly paranoid even in real life. Hurts to hear that it’s dumb. lol. At least he was right to be paranoid in the grand scheme of things.

You’re comparing real life with a fictional story that the author has complete control of. On one hand paranoia is an actual problem people in real life suffer with, and on the other hand the auther made an obvious choice to make their character like that.

And any story, fiction or not - at least for me - is supposed to have realistic characters. I would not want to read about characters with impossible/unjustifiable traits no matter how grand the story. In this case, being overly paranoid is a possible real life trait that can be added to his character. If you think it is dumb, so be it. There is nothing wrong with comparing real life people to characters in a story. These characters are living out THEIR real life. They have thoughts, they have feelings, they can feel pain, etc. And they should be able to act like it. It is hard to immerse my mind into a world without that element. Therefore, I do not think paranoia is a dumb trait, or dumb in general. And I believe it is justified for his character. I like to think of stories as individuals living out their life rather than a puppet master pulling strings. It’s more fun that way.

This webnovel is an absolute masterpiece. I've spent thousands of hours reading webnovels, and I am pretty sure there's many on this website who've done the same. This goes out to those avid webnovel readers like me, I guarantee this novel is worth reading. I am gonna try and break down the novel into it's elements and explain why you should/shouldn't read this. PROS: 1. Regarding the characters: Characters are well fleshed out, even side characters. They actually seem like human beings with emotions, goals, interests. Also, there's no ridiculously dumb 2-dimensional filler characters/villains. Unlike other webnovels you can't read 2-3 lines about a character, and instantly tell whether they're common mob A, a villain whose just gonna be MC's "stepping stone", or some sidekick to unconditionally bend over for MC. Avid webnovel readers know what I am talking about. 2. Regarding the plot: The novel is dynamic, and intriguing because it's hard to guess what's gonna happen next, and there's an actual sense of tension for the reader. It's not one of those novels where the MC starts out against the weak villains and the strong villains only come out of the novel after MC has powered up enough to handle them. Plot twists in the novel actually make sense and aren't there just because the author thinks it's about time to throw in a plot twist. As far as I've read it's also great that there's no blatantly obvious plot holes. 3. Regarding the MC: The main character isn't cliche MC isn't an extremely talented supreme genius. He doesn't have an unbreakable will to move mountains. He doesn't have an unwavering heart of justice. MC isn't one of those you've insulted my petty pride so I am gonna murder your entire clan, kill all the women and children, raze the buildings, and kill the dog. Nor is MC one of those perfect do gooders that's gonna help every side character that's nice to him/he likes. He's not gonna be like "You gave me an apple so I am gonna protect your family from the demon king and turn you into a super powerful fighter capable of destroying mountains." MC is human. MC is relatable because you can imagine yourself being capable of doing/reacting the same way in those situations. MC is looking out for his own interest and trying to stay alive. He's training to grow stronger to survive, but his growth is reasonable and understandable. 4. Regarding world building: The world/environment the author depicts makes sense and isn't something unreasonable/unimaginable. In fact it makes more sense than common cultivation novel depictions of the world if cultivators existed. There's no walls of text describing the ungodly beauty of a garden/lake or how huge a mountain range that's only gonna appear once in the story is. Descriptions and world building are to the point, enough to let the reader learn more about the environment the MC, while not boring the reader. 5. Novel has humour and a bit of fan service in it: In my personal opinion I also like that the author balances humour and tension throughout the novel. Plot and tension is good, but the author also includes a bit of "fun" stuff for the reader to enjoy, MC doesn't stay a virgin just because he's a complete wimp. CONS/CON: As far as I know most of the people who didn't like/didn't continue reading the novel stopped because of how dark it can be at times. MC is coldblooded, and it may be off-putting to those used to reading novels where the MC is a champion of justice. MC here won't hesitate to use any means at his disposal to achieve his goals, ABSOLUTELY ANY, and I say that without the least bit of exaggeration. You're gonna read many novels about so called evil MCs, but the MC in this story makes many of them pale in comparison. In Conclusion/TLDR: If you took the time to read all that/skipped everything and are wondering whether to read it or not, read the first 40 chapters. You're almost certain to get hooked.

Due to the recent toxic comment(s) from a handful of readers (or an alt from a hater), it has come to me that some readers might have misunderstood the concept of this novel. Therefore, I'm putting this review as a disclaimer, so these readers who are expecting a certain type of MC or a type of story can understand what they are getting into. And then, when they start flaming, I can just remind them of their ignorance. What you will NOT see in this novel. 1. Fast-paced story 2. OP MC at the beginning of the story 3. Unyielding MC that refuses to bow down to anyone. 4. An evil MC that violates laws and order at the early story. 5. A Mary Sue, Gary Stu, Kirito-like MC that infinitely gains instant powerup without having to work hard. 6. An alpha MC that has a perfect personality and makes perfect decisions in every action. 7. A ruthless, reckless, and brainless MC that goes around and provoke everyone left and right because of a trivial matter. 8. Humorless dark story. What you will SEE in this novel. 1. Slow-paced story. 2. An MC that understands these words and can put them into practice; "Compromise", "Tactical Retreat", "Surrender", "Mutual Interest and Benefit", and "Politics" 3. MC with a brain, but it fails to function properly sometimes, especially when his dick takes over. 4. MC NTRing other protagonists. 5. Plot twists. 6. Hard-working but mental MC 7. A semi-useless system, but it forces MC to work hard. 8. Toned down mature scenes. 9. Memes and Jojo References 10. THOTS, Mind-Breaking, Mind-Controlling, HAREMS. 11. Weak-to-Strong MC 12. Moderately Stupid-to-Military Genius MC 13. VILLAIN =/= EVIL 14. Protagonist =/= GOOD I hope this would clarify the tone of this story. I'll edit this when there are changes. In summary, to those readers that motherf-ckingly claimed that they are here looking for an evil mc and got disappointed when they found a mature MC with a politic face, they can just F off. Now, I've warned you. You can roast me with your almighty insights, my dear trolls. I welcome all constructive criticisms that points out my mistakes, flaws, inconsistency, and advice on what I can do better. But personal attacks, toxic comments, and flaming will be instantly deleted.

A Farmer's Journey To Immortality

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Meet Aksai Everwood, a guy who thought he was done with life, but life had other plans. Aksai wasn't always Aksai. He used to be Arman Arlott, a terminally ill dude who decided to take one last wild ride before checking out. Little did he know, a crazy experiment would flip his world upside down. Arman's mind got tangled up with artificial intelligence, and things got seriously weird. Instead of peacefully bowing out, Arman ended up sacrificing himself for some mind-blowing breakthrough. But instead of eternal rest, he got a second chance as Aksai Everwood, a spirit farmer in a new world. Talk about a cosmic curveball! You'd think being a farmer in a serene, pastoral paradise would be easy, right? Nope. Aksai's new world is anything but peaceful. Farming is far from sunshine and rainbows here. Aksai dreams of a chill life cultivating his crops, but in the wild world of immortal cultivation, peace is a rare commodity. Luckily, Aksai's got some serious advantages. He's got a neural link fabric that makes him a whiz at alchemy and array formations, giving him a leg up on other Spirit cultivators. Plus, he has the Enchanted Everwood Farm, a magical place where he can grow all sorts of mysterious cultivation resources with awesome bonuses. This farm comes with perks that make Aksai a one-of-a-kind Spirit farmer. And here's the kicker: the farm is suspended in a spatial junction of all existing realities. That means Aksai can hop between different worlds as he levels up in his Spirit cultivation. With these unique advantages, Aksai ditches the traditional path of joining a sect or a renowned clan. Instead, he explores various worlds, using their unique resources and methods to forge his own path as a Spirit cultivator. What do myriad worlds unlock? A druid bloodline, body cultivation, martial arts, and lots more. Who’d join sects when given such perks? The stage is set for our Spirit farmer. Now Aksai, his companions, and you, his readers, are in for a journey of rebirth, redemption, and a whole lot of dirt under your fingernails. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc
