The novel begins as a complete rip-off from Dual Cultivation. And that continues well into Chapter 20 and beyond. I do like how cultivation level isn’t the end all be all for battles. As early on, the MC, Wu Long is able to battle 3 levels above due to his experience. The author also does too much info-dumping in the middle of chapters which slows the pacing of the story and bogs it for no reason. The dialogue and flow of battle is also awkward and hard to follow because the author is unable to be concise. This results in the MC’s speech lasting for several paragraphs whenever he flexes on fodder characters. Or the frequent use of starting dialogue with ellipses. Overall it’s a decent novel that imitates Dual Cultivation and has yet to define itself. Even the title has Dual Cultivation. Don’t expect much creativity as it follows the standard tropes and Chinese sayings even though the author is not Chinese or from that background.

LIKEHello XD You seriously wrote "yet to define itself" after reading 20 chapters of a novel that has 71 free chapters out of currently published 159? I would at least read the free chapters before writing something that could be called a review. Let alone claim that the novel which I did not even read to know such things has "yet to define itself". By that logic you can stop a movie in its starting sequence and say that it has "yet to define itself" lol. I saw your comments, they were made 20 minutes ago on chapter 23, and this review is written 34 minutes ago. So I know you did not read further than chapter 20-22 before writing this "review". Please stop reading, don't torture yourself reading something you do not like and bother me. You have already made your mind about this novel when you wrote this "review", as that what "review" means, it is not a comment section, but a place where you could summarize your thoughts on the novel, and what thoughts someone who did not even read a third of the available free tier could have? So if you made your mind without reading, why bother reading further? Stop here and make everyone including you happier by reading something you actually like. I am going to leave your "review" here for now so that other people can see it, so your work is done XD Have a nice day XD
