I didn't expect to find a book where the author actually explains what qi could be and doesn't use plotarmor in a vague way like cultivation works because of qi and qi is qi. I like how the author thinks and didn't find obvious mistakes in the math and science parts. there are a few minor points that could lead to a strong power creep between the later stages if you consider that core cultivators can already destroy mountains from a distance but it should be fine if he stops the exponential growth he currently has between the stages. sure fighting higher stages should be almost impossible but it shouldn't be 1000 vs 1 that is one stage higher and the one is winning without problems or getting hit. at least after the core stage where everyone knows techniques and has a good amount of qi. but that is just me rambling about things that are hard to balance and would be normally readjusted over time while writing but because it is WN and we read the first version, the author has to think more about thinks like that because it is so hard to rewrite entire scenes or plot points.

Classic 5-star author review. In this novel, I write what the reader in me wanted to read in a cultivation novel. First and foremost, I am an enjoyer of the xianxia genre and cultivation novels in general. But some common points tend to frustrate me or take me out from the plots. Typical examples include MCs that are needlessly hiding their abilities when they could obtain huge benefits by just revealing some or the MCs vowing to stay low-key only for them to murder the son of a powerful figure the next minute, because he insulted their parents or something. With Journey of the Immortal Grandmaster, I try to portray believable characters with logical behaviors, even as those characters become more and more extraordinary. You will find a martial art adventure with a new realistic spin to it, and an accent on science. No OP MCs, cheat items, and stupid stepping stones piling out one after the other. Our MC will have to climb his way up with his determination and wits, from a normal starting point. Han Lingyun, our MC, is very smart but isn’t perfect either as he is in a growth state. You might find him on the cowardly side, especially compared to the traditional MCs. It is in Han Lingyun’s nature to calculate risks and rewards all the time. Admittedly, this novel is not for everyone: there won’t be constant life and death fights and face slapping if that is what you are looking for. The plot should fit more those that prefer ‘low-key’ MCs, more specifically, the MCs that don’t rely on Deus Ex Machina for saving themselves from an all-powerful cultivator they angered for the hundredth time. Don’t hesitate to join Han Lingyun on his epic journey!

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!"
