The only problem I find annoying is the mixup of genders . MC is male but becomes she sometimes due to bad translation. otherwise I found this novel to be a good read and liked it very much .

Unique approach , good character design and background. While the environment is the same as many other novels, the concept is new and novel. Haven't gone too far into the story , only 25 chaps in. Almost tempted to spend and buy my way through the rest of the chapters , but i have been disappointed far too ofter, so im going to wait it out. Negatives : Gender mixup is a big problem throws me off completely. Character is very young, so perhaps the author aims to stretch the novel far , but that's a problem for me because most authors lose the motivation and the quality mid way and ultimately makes me feel like my time was wasted. Hope you can keep up the quality and not stretch it into a bad story just to fill up word count. Better keep it short as long as you keep up the quality.

Disclaimer for those starting this book - Don't expect traditional chinese power fantasy. This book's genre is kind of 'feel good' slice of life with traditional xianxia elements and the speed of cultivation is slow. A welcome respite from the trash we are served. The background of the novel is that the world's spiritual energy is running out so everyone depends on spiritual stones but the power dynamic of the world is such that the well off clans are powerful and they keep on holding on to the power hierarchy. So because of the income inequalities the wandering cultivators stay on the bottom of the hierarchy. This review is valid up to chapter 100, I've not seen much of the evils of human society. The society shown seems very idealistic. The only source of conflict is the stereotypical young master of a clan. But any source of conflict is warded off by the connections built by the main character through his childish innocence. There is one big plot hole which icks me. The protagonist is said to live a second life on Earth and then came back to his home world apparently. But the childish naivety and the childish questions on morality don't make sense to me if he has lived on Earth. There is a dialogue where his instructor says to him to remain low-key and not show off his talents and he treats this dialogue like a major epiphany which just doesn't make sense. So up to chapter 100 it is better if you erase the Earth part from your memory. It will be way better if you treat the protagonist as a native lifeform who is in his childhood and is very naive regarding social customs. Because the transmigration part of the story has not made an impact yet.

This is one of the best new novels I've read. I didn't expect to cry at some point as these kinds of novels doesn't emotionally appeal to me. This is quite a mix and match as sometimes it's fast-paced with action and sometimes slow-paced with a slice of life. Most of the arcs are well thought out and have a clear end/purpose. So, the premise of the novel is; [Mo Hua, the protagonist, is born with a weak body and poor spiritual roots but great spiritual awareness. Having a weak body means he can't take the body refining path as with his father, a demon hunter. So, he turns to the formation/array where he has some talent and where the stele in his mind is useful.] I would like to mention that the protagonist has a status of casual cultivator with poor qualifications who's only good at formations, so be ready for a lot of mentions on his poor qualifications. I would say this is a bit emotional as the protagonist is an emotional person. I think that's actually what made me like this a bit more as it has some emotional color into it. The side characters are not just 'side' characters but instead like the main character, their story unveils throughout the novel. I can name a lot of characters I've grown to love throughout Mo Hua's journey. Another feature of the novel is how the protagonist kinda leap frog levels. It's not the same as other protagonists where he directly fights as this one uses formations to attain that leap frog fight. Overall, I like this novel, and I'll probably continue to wait for it to finish. Although, I think this is gonna be long as it has a LOT of foreshadowing happening.

I don’t understand how this webnovel isn’t top 10 yet. I guess some ppl have eyes but can’t see Mount Tai.. [img=Speechless] This is the best story I’ve read on here. It’s about the journey of an array master to the zenith. He’s transmigrated but that’s pretty much forgotten since he starts life over in the new world and actually becomes a part of it. There’s no ruminating about it like TEATB. Initially I was a bit hesitant b/c the world seemed so limited with everything having been explored and everyone stuck to certain lands with spiritual Qi. But I was wrong. Author makes the world soo interesting with MC visiting different places with his master to learn new arrays. The best part are the characters. All of them are soo amazing. There’s no blind face-slapping every chapter or bland villains. MC himself isn’t a psycho either thank god. He’s smart, cunning, nice, and knows how to minimize his weakness. There may be romance in the future too which I really like. There are too many wastrels on here stopping authors from writing romantic subplot for their incel fantasies. Anyways, good job author.

It is a good story with quite a good focus on development. However a particular lack in noun/gender usage for the main character is a bit troubling.

This is kind of different story then regular- Mc is not OP atleast till around 800 ch.. There are not many idiots who get offended easily.. the story development is very slow i read raw till 800 and MC is still not powerful enough to face regualr enemies.. anyway its good change rather than other though..

Anyone have recs that are similar in which the Mc focuses on a profession/occupation(arrays and formations in this case) throughout the novel and their levels/understandings go hand in hand
