Review (Up to Chapter 74):
I’m really enjoying the novel — I wouldn’t have read up to Chapter 74 if it wasn’t good. The system is great, the pacing works, and the worldbuilding has real potential. But one thing is honestly starting to break the immersion for me: Li Quanshu’s cultivation speed makes no sense at all.
The MC has a legit cheat system. He raises spiritual beasts to get rare pills, energy clusters, and all sorts of top-tier resources. He has medium-grade roots (close to high-grade) and still needs 20–30 chapters, spiritual beasts, and pills just to break through to the next stage. Sometimes it takes him a year to hit the next level.
Now compare that to Li Quanshu. She’s 19, introduced at stage 3 Qi Refining, with inferior roots. No cheat. No background. No legacy. Nothing. Yet somehow, she keeps up with the MC’s pace. He hits stage 5? She’s at 4. He breaks through stage 6 with rare resources? She levels up too. He struggles for a year to hit stage 7? She hits 6 like it’s nothing. And this keeps happening.
Even worse, she’s being portrayed as close to the MC’s followers — people at stage 6 or 7 with real talent and effort behind their cultivation. It’s not earned. And it’s not explained. You just say “she broke through” and move on, like that’s enough.
You’ve already made it clear that cultivators with better roots and more resources take decades to break through the same bottlenecks. So how is she keeping up with the MC, who literally has a system?
If she had a hidden bloodline, a legacy, or something else backing her, this would make sense. But right now? It just feels forced and lazy. Please give her growth some proper explanation, because right now it’s breaking the logic of your own world.
Just for that, I’m giving it 3 stars. Another reason is how you constantly exaggerate the beauty of female characters — it’s honestly getting annoying and feels unnecessary, like it’s there just for show.
This novel starts slow, but once it picks up, it’s a gem for fans of steady cultivation. Early on, the author tries to match the MC’s pace with Lu girl, which drags things a bit, but thankfully that idea is dropped. The real turning point comes when the Thunder Clan sends a Thunder Giant to conquer the MC’s world. Instead of fighting head-on, the MC uses his system teleporting anywhere when someone mentions his name he sends the Giant into the demon world, where it’s killed.
The MC then possesses the Thunder Giant’s body and declares to the Heavenly Dao he’ll guard the world for 1,000 years. He earns favor and receives a heavenly position. That’s when things really start rolling.
His cultivation system is unique: the more he rests, the more comprehension time he builds and multiplies. Later, it evolves into calm-in-battle comprehension. He doesn’t fix his terrible five-element roots—he transcends them by merging with the Big Dipper. After defeating a powerful immortal robber, he earns 20 million hours of rest time, compresses it, and jumps from Human Immortal to Golden Immortal. Overpowered, yes, but consistent within the story’s logic.
There’s no forced harem, no endless face-slapping, no filler villains. The fox and fish girls have their own arcs. Realm progression is solid, the system is well explained, and the MC grows through strategy not plot armor.
Quick update (ch.197): ok at this point the author is just planning on dragging it as long as possible so he adding to much filler meaning/nonsense for word count is ruining it not going lie🫤
Rating: 4.5 stars
+1 for the creative, well-thought-out system
+1 for no harem and meaningful character progression
+1 for solid realm structure and cultivation logic
+1 for good pacing after chapter 100 and long-term payoff
+0.5 for the author’s consistent world-building and multiverse tie-ins
-0.5 for the slow start that might cause readers to drop it early
Definitely worth it
