As always a great novel by Wang Yu. If you liked Demon’s Diary or A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality, than you will also enjoy this novel. In comparison with other cultivation novels, this one greatest strength lies in ****** a believable world, that apart from the protagonist, has side characters that have goals, strength and weaknesses and in the end, influence the world around him. Cultivation doesn't require you to "grit your teeth and endure", it requires planning, resources and thinking ahead of others to survive. All in all, it is a much more realistic approach to cultivation novels.

LIKESo, this novel is like Demon's Diary where the MC is just a weakling that uses items instead of his own strength? And also like a Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality where the MC gives zero fucks about any past romantic relationship and just leaves every single relevant main heroin by the wayside?

Good that you only focus on the things you didn't like. Hence, you already know that you won't like this novel. That's whats called a self fulfilling prophecy.

Yup. RMJTI can't do romance to save the authors life. And Demon's Diary just makes me feel like a P2W player in a video game that has more "coincidental luck" than those Japanese MC's that randomly trip over nothing and land in a girls cleavage.

RMJI is my favorite xianxia novel. And I think this is better than Demon's Diary. It is quite dry and relies heavily on plot armor though. The lack of proper romance doesn t bother me. In this novel romance is reduced to "hey i like that girl evn though i never spoke with her ever let's try to be with her no matter what"
