Well-written xianxia, mc loose cultivator, balance selfishness/human decency. Mostly one POV/mc with occasional organization-building. Various elements done reasonably well, grounded, things-make-sense feel.

For me, very enjoyable with little to complain. Worldbuilding is on point, there is a strong element of mutual deterrence and calculation of gains and losses among various forces, with flow of events that feels justified and logical. Battles are on point, decisive, not dragging on for too long with a 'let me waste 2 chapters doing autoattacks and get injured, before I use my cooldowns' syndrome. In this one they won't mind directly blasting with the ultimate if circumstances call for it. Start is quite slow, later events pick up speed. Can't say it's something shockingly original or ingenious but pieces come together into a satisfying whole with plenty of variety, as long as this concept is your cup of tea. Among novels with similar themes I've seen many that felt worse.
