This is the first time i will be reviewing a novel. I may not be the best but i will offer my most accurate opinions as best as i can. A Painting of the Nine Immortals, straight into just entering the novel, you have a maincharacter have everything he would need drop in front of him to easily grab. Op abilitys, amazing talent. It all happens 5 chapters in to the novel. As you progress on you just see more luck and "fate" coming into our maincharacters life. This kind of story has its pros and cons and i will try to emphasize A Painting of the Nine Immortals pros and cons. Pros of this type of setting. If the author is not your generic trash and can think up of a creative setting, in depth characters, it can become a interesting read. Cons If the author is your average generic type of trash who just repeats himself with the same fighting style, same setting(Friends/clan of mc about to be defeated, last moment mc pops up and saves everyone) or just pure repitition of events throughout the novel(hero saves beuty wins her heart). Then the novel can end up average or complete garbage. Since i have read only 88 chapters so far. I can only offer a slight opinion on this. Reading up to chapter 88 this novel already contains a hectic amount of problems, with which i have fought to read on with. Translation Quality- Confusing, clusterred and erratic. First off i know the author tried to make a "unique" cultivation system as such as instead of starting of at realm 1 you actually start at realm 10 in alchemy, cultivation and beast ranks, but as time goes on it just gets really confusing especially when ranks go 1-9(10) being a rank only geniuses can reach. 1. While reading the translator uses the word Realm in the place of Rank when it is supposed to be the opposite. Or switching between the terms qi, mana, and reiki constantly, which makes me confused and frustrated at the quality of the translation. 2. Not sure if someone is proof reading these chapters before posting them because while reading i find that lots of words are missing/out of place throughout the novel. Which has not improved from chapter 1-88 so far. Updating Stability- Can only be considered "fair". Story delelopment- The story so far in my opinion is going a a good pace. As of now going from Rank 1 of the Qi Realm to Rank 10 of the qi Realm, has took 88 chapters. In my opinion these beggining ranks should never drag on for a long time unless the author is skilled in keeping the reader from losing interest. Character Design- One word i can use to describe our main character and side characters so far. Shallow. Reading up to chapter 88 you find out that the mc is simply average, determined, youth aiming to become a top cultivator. Nothing complex just pure ******. Our side characters can be considered ****** as well. Chapter 5 or 6(i dont remember the exact chapter) Our mc saves a beauty. Yes i praise the mc for trying not to get envolved with the conflict until hes forcefully dragged into it even when seeing her beauty, but once the mc saves her, she falls in love with him. Just like that. One girl is already head over heals for our mc. This does not happens just once. It happens quite a few times. Enemys? They are just one dimensional arrogant pricks so far, so nothing special. World Background- Shallow very Shallow. Our Mc resides in a small city in the Qin Dynasty. Once our mc unlocked his potential and became Op, apparently he became a talent rarely seen in thousands of years throughout the world. No explanation on how big the mcs world is, no apparent size of the Qin Dynasty as well. So we have no clue on how big the world is as well as how much talent our mc trully has. My own Opinion- Now aside from the technical side of things as i like to call it.(World Background, Translation quality etc. I would like to give ky emotinal view of this book as well. In my own true straight forward opinion. This book is just "average". The mcs personality suits my own tastes as well as the setting the author gave. But reading this i just feel like this book is to just kill time. It can barely keep my interests alive. I hope this review would be somewhat helpful to future considering readers. And i hope i can receive cirticism on what i can improve and not improve for my future reviews. Thank you fellow Daoists. Martial Sovereign out.

Totally agree, this author really sucks and fills half his chapters with praise for the mc.

Edit: If your trying to read a novel where 7/10 chapters are people praising the mc to be so godlike and immortal at only the foundation stage 2/10 talking trash 1/10 fighting then this is for you.

1.I shall seal the heavens (read at Wuxiaworld) 2. A will eternal (Wuxiaworld) 3. Plundering the heavens (Qidian) 4. Transcending the nine heavens (Qidian) 5. World of Cultivation (see Novelupdates) Transcending the nine heavens is Xuanhuan not Xianxia. But they are all good stories.

If you want more. Just ask. You can try reading coiling Dragon if you haven't. It's great. But the mc gets betrayed once by a girl. Also it's very similar to other stories of I eat tomatoes. That's why I didn't recommend it first

A Farmer's Journey To Immortality

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Meet Aksai Everwood, a guy who thought he was done with life, but life had other plans. Aksai wasn't always Aksai. He used to be Arman Arlott, a terminally ill dude who decided to take one last wild ride before checking out. Little did he know, a crazy experiment would flip his world upside down. Arman's mind got tangled up with artificial intelligence, and things got seriously weird. Instead of peacefully bowing out, Arman ended up sacrificing himself for some mind-blowing breakthrough. But instead of eternal rest, he got a second chance as Aksai Everwood, a spirit farmer in a new world. Talk about a cosmic curveball! You'd think being a farmer in a serene, pastoral paradise would be easy, right? Nope. Aksai's new world is anything but peaceful. Farming is far from sunshine and rainbows here. Aksai dreams of a chill life cultivating his crops, but in the wild world of immortal cultivation, peace is a rare commodity. Luckily, Aksai's got some serious advantages. He's got a neural link fabric that makes him a whiz at alchemy and array formations, giving him a leg up on other Spirit cultivators. Plus, he has the Enchanted Everwood Farm, a magical place where he can grow all sorts of mysterious cultivation resources with awesome bonuses. This farm comes with perks that make Aksai a one-of-a-kind Spirit farmer. And here's the kicker: the farm is suspended in a spatial junction of all existing realities. That means Aksai can hop between different worlds as he levels up in his Spirit cultivation. With these unique advantages, Aksai ditches the traditional path of joining a sect or a renowned clan. Instead, he explores various worlds, using their unique resources and methods to forge his own path as a Spirit cultivator. What do myriad worlds unlock? A druid bloodline, body cultivation, martial arts, and lots more. Whoโ€™d join sects when given such perks? The stage is set for our Spirit farmer. Now Aksai, his companions, and you, his readers, are in for a journey of rebirth, redemption, and a whole lot of dirt under your fingernails. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc

Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Simulator+Cultivation+Farming Stream+Survival Stream] One day, through transmigration, Su Xing arrived in a data-centric high martial world. This world had extraordinary strong beings known as professionals, favored by the "heavens," who could level up and strengthen themselves by running dungeons and killing monsters. Su Xing changed his job to the hidden profession of Cultivator, but due to unknown reasons, he could not gain experience or level up like other professionals. Unable to level up, he could only cultivate... but in this era where Spiritual Energy was depleted and Cultivators were nearly extinct, even obtaining Spiritual Energy was a luxury. After four years in college, Su Xing was still a minor in the Qi Refining Stage, struggling even to graduate. Fortunately, he awakened the golden finger "Life Simulator," which allowed him to simulate the future by paying energy and bring back the Cultivation Level, items, and more from the simulation to the real world. However, in the simulated future, the Foreign Race invaded in full force, leading to the overthrow of the Human Race overnight. In such desperate circumstances, Su Xing chose to lie low and develop, cultivating Spirit Plants, concocting Elixirs, enhancing his Cultivation Level, improving the overall strength of the Human Race... He continuously strengthened himself through the simulator, becoming a hidden powerhouse, silently resisting the invasion of the Foreign Race... ps: This is a story about a simulator, leaning towards a careful survival strategy, farming development, and operating from behind the scenes...
