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.

MartialSovereign:Plundering the Heavens is an interesting read. A will eternal/Thought through eternity is a fun read. Issth obviously a good read. There are a few more. Comment what your looking for specifically. Ill try to respond in the best way i can.
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.
Ash9880:Any good novel out there???????

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
