A non-dramatic cultivation story is the best description I can come up with to describe this novel. The sect and its disciples are not incompetent or corrupt, there are no random people mocking others for no reason, family cultivators and second-generation cultivators are reasonable, and the MC actually assesses his situation before acting/doesn't greedily act on every piece of information(and he doesn't need to because he has a system!). Not an exhilarating read, but if you're tired of the hot-blooded/reckless/murder-hobo xianxia novels, this is a nice read to refresh yourself.

The story is alright, but suffers from a lack of immersion and structure.

There’s a lot of fluff, along with plenty of unnecessary forced face-slapping. The author also seems to follow the unhealthy pattern of nerfing the intelligence/competency of characters, in order to create crises for the protagonist to overcome.

A slow apocalypse survival novel focusing on the power of the collective, rather than the few. The MC’s system is no almighty panacea to every problem, it’s just a special tool for survival; maximizing the use of this tool is up to the user.

I agree with ThriceReckless, the concept is good but the author failed to fulfill even half of its potential. The various logical inconsistencies and forced plot greatly reduces the quality of the story.

The summary and the first chapter honestly got me thinking that this was just another generic job change novel, but then completely broke that notion in the next few chapters. Little to no faceslapping(and the faceslapping that exists is quick and non-dramatic), the authorities are not useless and clueless idiots who can't figure out there's something special about the disguised MC, and the other characters in the novel actually seem like people rather than cardboard cutouts. The summary can't be considered to be completely wrong, but I would say that it's very inaccurate and misleading. It's not like this novel has done something outstanding, it has its flaws like the somewhat dry combat and a strangely un-relatable MC. However, by maintaining the quality of the story and avoiding the many annoyances found in other job-change novels, this story makes itself seem much better than the others.

Feels more like a comedy in a xianxia setting than a light-hearted xianxia novel. There's really no sense of urgency or achievement when the MC does something, and the worldview seems to warp very easily according to the author's whims.

A unique cultivation novel with a different style of cultivation technique. It's very interesting to see how the differences in cultivation technique changes the paradigm of the cultivation world. Also, I've been constantly running into novels poisoned by CN nationalism propaganda for several days now, so it's really refreshing to see a novel just not do that stuff.
