MISERY!I'm sorry this just hit wrong for me.I'm a blue collar worker in a dead end job, and I listen to web novel to escape that.This story is probably hilarious in China, but for me it's too much pain instead of slapstick.Fourth wall is constantly broken, taking the reader by the shoulder and complaining about kids today,the bad job market, how ridiculous a cultivation world is-- I'd say that it's a parody of the whole cultivation novel genre. The MC has endless bad luck after he is swept away from his mediocre life as a 20 year old to become a hopeless old man who's golden finger is to be a janitor in a cultivation academy, and level up from cleaning.That alone could have been enough or even epic. But as of 21 chapters in, it was too miserable for me to endure anymore.It's definitely meant to be tongue in cheek but it hit too close to home for me to enjoy.

Totally fair, haha! I was trying a lot of different things with this novel, and I can imagine parts of it ended up just being frustrating. Hope you have a good day! - Pen
