I initially thought this was gonna be a novel where MC is a hermit that drinks pure spiritual blessed water casually then blows the minds of mortals as he casually serves it to them. On the contrary, this seems like an actual cultivation novel. He actually sequesters himself to cultivate or practice his skills/spells to mastery stages ect. This isn't a novel where the system is overbearing or seems to be constantly present either. It sometimes pops in to give a mission then leaves for a couple years or something. Characters are also one of this novels strong points, with them behaving as real actual humans would instead of being cardboard cutouts of that same arrogant young master. Not what I was expecting honestly, but seems to be very well done and has that rare quality where some actual thought seems to be put in by the author.

let's just say I loved old man mc as long as they are not dumb enough it's acceptable to me

Title: 百年修仙，我快死了金手指才来 Author: 极西行者 Status: 308 Chapters and Ongoing I read the first 25 chapters months back on Qidian and liked it but put it aside since I was mainly looking for Sci-fi. My note was that it was decent, similar to Farue's review, so I might get back it someday when in the mood to read more fantasy novels. Rated 4 stars since I've only vague memories that it was interesting.

You know, it's really disappointing when a promising story takes a nosedive into a cesspool of bigotry and an unhealthy obsession with blood relations. The initial chapters showed potential, but then it's like the author couldn't resist drowning the narrative in sexism and this bizarre blood fixation. Suddenly, 'blood' relatives are put on this pedestal, while the genuinely interesting 'non-blood' relationships are left in the dust. The main character's sudden favoritism towards 'blood' kin is both frustrating and off-putting. It's like the author forgot how to create meaningful connections beyond some arbitrary genetic link. What's worse is how this skewed perspective bleeds into the MC's actions. If you're not part of the 'blood' club, you're automatically relegated to the role of an outsider. Loyalty and support from non-blood companions are met with mistrust and scheming, which is incredibly jarring and makes it difficult to invest in the characters. The first 120 or so chapters were tolerable, but then the author went full-throttle on this 'blood' fixation, and it felt like a slap in the face for readers who were hoping for a more nuanced and inclusive narrative. It's a shame when an otherwise potentially enjoyable novel gets overshadowed by such regressive themes.

I lost all respect at chapter 134 this is pure and utter garbage

good, unlike the usual cultivation books you'd come across on webnovel that has no basic logics...................................................

I read 200 chapters of this novel .. it’s just another trash Chinese novel 🤮🤮

A suprisingşy realistic cn. Most hermit mcs run away from everything but this mc takes measured risks even though he is a hermit type mc. Mc also understands its foolish to offend people for bo reason. Over a good cn with common sense which is quite rare. Also the system isnt too op so far and mostly relies on öcs hard work.
