To start the review off, I will say that this the same author who wrote "Strongest Abandoned Son", so if you read my review on that, you'll get the same gist of this review. Protagonist was one of the world's best botanists in an alternate modern earth. He dies and is reincarnated into a new world of cultivation. It must be the author's preference to take the plot really, really slow because it's the same deal as his other work, "Strongest Abandoned Son", the cultivation aspect in this novel is incredibly slow in comparison to your run-of-the-mill Xianxia novel. Forty-two chapters in and the protagonist has barely grazed cultivation. The first forty chapters are nothing but world building, political conflict, and starting exposition to the world around him. Barely any actual progress in the cultivation aspect, which is the same deal in his other novel that is being translated here in this site. His world building is fine, but the author has a habit of running around the issue in some areas. For instance, the world that the protagonist reincarnates into is a world where technology exists (cars and machines) but he keeps it purposefully vague. What era of technology? Why hide the setting you created and just ignore it? Only to use it in the beginning when you needed it? I'd say a hundred chapters in is a good point to see if the story and the characters become endearing and fleshed out. Forty-two chapters in I can tell you that the main character is nothing special and thus far, the world around him is not the type to pull you (enchanting, mystical, mysterious, etc) in and keep you around. It's not bad, but it isn't good. Average. We'll see how this plays out in the future, but I'm doubting it. The story, world, and characters are simply the textbook definition of "okay". Apparently his works are popular considering he has made 1,656,627 dollars in royalties. https://wwyxhqc.wordpress.com/2017/04/30/richest-chinese-webnovel-author-ranking-2016/ Which in turn makes me question how this is possible. Am I reading the wrong novels? Nevertheless, my opinion is that if you must read anything by Goose Five (in this site), it should be this. Strongest Abandoned Fart is another beast in and of itself and you could never make me read it again.

Thx. I would have regretted reading this knowing this novel went like this.
Tragedy? Wtf are you guys talking about? Spineless kids 😒 can't stand a single sad event 😄
MC is nothing special? Yes, he is mere mortal and doesn't have spiritual channel for cultivation. He doesn't give up like you guys and creates a solution to open his meridians, also creates an unique cultivation technique that only he can use.
I actually love it, but i still found your review fair. I read more for characters than style, plot or world-building. But i can understand if you care about those things more or equally you could find this story slow or annoying. I particularly like that the "romance" in this story is understandable and doesn't stray into fetish territory like so many of these types of stories do.
it's sudden. the romance.

If he got that much money from his work, then i can conclude that his work is worth reading.
Isn't that not much compared to other MCs in this genre and community? Seems not that special out of all the other MCs to me...

Some people are just fragile emotionally and mentally.

I hate Romance
I don't think so
O ritmo da história é realmente bom; Ele lentamente constrói seu poder com base em seu próprio conhecimento e experiência. Isto é especialmente diferente de muitas outras histórias de Xianxia, onde o MC se encontra com algum evento fortuito que o catapulta diretamente ao sucesso. Esta história ilustra as capacidades da engenhosidade humana e do trabalho árduo. O MC mostra como, enquanto uma pessoa trabalha duro, o sucesso é possível.

hahaha.. i dont read it u review i am not interest. but im interest with u name dude... FattyBai. remind me of something lol
I disagree with your stament. It only means he gets featured a lot, as what he does is probably what he got contracted for. Publisher put more value into controllable artist with decent output then in high quality with unreliable schedule. There are better novels out there... But everyone ready to pass time.
