I Have Countless Past-life Identities

Jixia wakes up again in this bizarre world of cultivation, carrying memories of two lives and a book called the 'Reincarnation Celestial Book'. [A single reincarnation is a brand new beginning.] [What... kind of life do you wish to choose anew?] With the help of the Reincarnation Celestial Book, he deduces past years and unlocks his [Past Identities]! Fifty years ago, he shook the northwest with his Half-Demon body, slaying countless demons and monsters in his lifetime, dubbed 'the number one in Fist Dao among the younger generation'; A hundred years ago, he founded the Demon Hunting Department, slashed Dragon Veins in the West Sea, achieving great merits, being the foremost of the seven Princes who founded Great Zhao, and once hailed by the Great Sage in warfare as 'an invincible star that never falls through the ages'; Eight hundred years ago, he was the 'Banished Immortal's Successor' in the Dao Lineage of Jiangnan, reputed as the 'Mortal Taoist' with the greatest hope of knocking on the celestial gate again from ancient times to the present, yet willingly chose rebirth and reincarnation for the sake of a red robe; A thousand, several thousand, ten thousand years...

As these causes from the past descend upon the present world, knocking on his door... Jixia finally understood, His 'ordeal' had just begun.

The concept is interesting! As an English teacher, I have some advice if you don't mind me sharing though: I've noticed that you tend to switch back and forth between present-tense and past-tense often. This can be distracting when trying to immerse yourself, and it can interrupt the flow when you're trying to form a mental image of what's happening. Likewise, the vast majority of published novels are written entirely in past-tense, as past-tense words have stronger undertones in the reader's mind when forming mental images. (The only exception to this past-tense restriction is dialogue.) To take some examples from the first chapter: "...relationships can affect how severe" (present-tense) "But this case looks" (present-tense) "This situation confused Aizen" (past-tense) "...now he hasn't remarried" (present-tense) "hard work paid off" (past-tense) "Aizen succeeded in creating" (past-tense) There are also some other grammatical issues, but the writing quality in this novel is still better than 90% of the other novels on this site. The writing has a lot of potential, so I'm giving it a 5-star rating anyways.

I like how the novel starts off with a lot of action! As an English teacher, I have some advice if you don't mind me sharing though: I've noticed that you tend to switch back and forth between present-tense and past-tense very often. This can be distracting when trying to immerse yourself, and it can interrupt the flow when you're trying to form a mental image of what's happening. Likewise, the vast majority of published novels are written entirely in past-tense, as past-tense words have stronger undertones in the reader's mind when forming mental images. (The only exception to this past-tense restriction is dialogue.) You can see this from all of the top novels in the power rankings, such as 'My Vampire System' and 'Supreme Magus' - they're written entirely in past-tense, without switching back and forth between present-tense and past-tense, unless it's in dialogue. Very few novels are written in present-tense. To take some examples from the first chapter: "A couple more wolves were taken Victim..." (past-tense) "At this rate, those victimized wolves are lucky if they die quick now." (present-tense) "The battle worked for Woldemir's favour..." (past-tense) "...but it's not over yet!" (present-tense) "Three wolves were taken victim..." (past-tense) "...but five more are still standing..." (present-tense) "Looking behind, he noticed..." (past-tense) "...that Eric is somehow..." (present-tense) Also, I've noticed that you tend to capitalize nouns even though they aren't proper nouns. Like with "encouraging his Horse to run faster" and "A Natural enemy," or "The Wagon behind Woldemir." You don't need to capitalize nouns unless they are name or a part of a title. For me personally, I can't read past one or two chapters without stopping, as it's just too distracting. I do think that fixing these two issues would increase the number of new and dedicated readers, though it would take a lot of work to go through everything. That being said, the writing has a lot of potential, so I'm giving it a 5-star rating anyways.

Just as he was about to bring the beauty home, his identity was exposed. " I have bad intentions. In order to save the devil cultivator and return to the sect, I dug up your ancestral grave to get close to you. Lu Rujiu, you can only blame yourself for being blind and not judging people clearly."
