Enjoying it.
I really like it when the mc explores and innovates and doesn't just go around collecting ancient techniques like they're absolute. I also really appreciate the free and less rigid concept of formations/arrays in this novel.
His outlook on life and cultivation is also endearing, so even though his journey is risk free and leisurely, the things he learns and his character progress is fulfilling. And that is even with minimal interaction to showcase it.
In my opinion for anyone who enjoys the progress of cultivation but doesn't quite enjoy the fights and the rigidity of practice will like this one.
Not to mention, this is one of the few novels that actually embody the concept of all dao lead to one, and no dao is right or wrong. The practice really focuses on individual comprehension and perspective of the dao.
To correct HonestReviewer, no he did not join any faction. Shuli or Guizi
Second, the witness being able to see him taking the opportunity is part of the safety net. Allowing him to display his more advanced cultivation without attracting suspicion allowing him to shield his other secrets.
Fine. But I find it jarring how quick the natives are to accept such a magical thing. So it feels less like he went to a fantasy world to establish an otherworldly store but more like he just went to the countryside to open an internet cafe to people who knew such things existed but has never used them before. Which is disappointing because part of the fun of this is how strong people react to such a magical device and create misunderstandings.
This is a 3.5 for me. On the one hand, the author showed very little sexism and almost no racism. Even the oscars and international scenes were portrayed quite positively, save for a few stereotypes. And the nationalism itself is the least I've ever seen on an urban genre.
On the other hand, as a reaction type genre, this is a step below average. And I feel that the changes the author made for the plot of jjk is a little too wishy washy, with the progression showing little understanding of all symbolic parts of the characters actions and fates.
It's good. But that's all. Compared to other reaction type novels this is average. Though they do retain faithfulness to the game despite the localization in the xianxia world.
Though I do feel a little dissatisfied that the bullet screen thingy was added to a horror game, jeez horror games rely in some parts on isolation so why was it untimely introduced in this game? Anyway in the first place maybe I'm a bit biased because I never quite understood what the chinese find so appealing with bullet screens.
Weak start, it was not able to hook properly so the story seems empty and underwhelming. The characters were not properly introduced so by the time they were focused on, it's became hard to care. In other words, it's boring.
Not very good. Even the system, which is supposed to be the main attraction for classix wuxia characters is more annoying than anything. MC is shown to be smart but is actually dumb so it looks like he's just being pretentious.
Author also does not know how to hold tension. For someone who's in the middle of a death sentence, he sure can move around and even visit the enemy faction of his enemy.
