Review Detail of LaoTze in Signing Into Immortal Martial World

The plot so far (30 chapters in) : a guy is reincarnated as a prince in a cultivation world anD, because of a fortune-teller's warning that he is an ill-omened curse on the royal family, is locked up in a cold palace for 15 years and is forbidden to cultivate. In his teens he awakens a sign in system and starts cultivating. At the same time the nation is going through wars and princes are dying off, and the king blames the MC because of the fortune telling. I'm not a fan of this version of the story (there are at least two other recent sign in novels that have the same bones of the plot), because it drags. Entire chapters are spent on the MC navel gazing about cultivation, then entire more chapters are spent with the MC offscreen while side characters talk on and on. Despite the tedious focus on talking about cultivating and cultivation levels, the power levels aren't clear to me, and I'm not interested to learn more. This novel just seems phoned in, and not worth the effort of reading.
