Reviews of Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy by Snoring_Panda - Webnovel

really solid story woth good begining but from the last volume feels like theres alot of dead chapter that aren't usefull honest thinks the east continent arc is way way to long

if you want to know who the god slayer is go and read this author's another work "reincarnated as energy" many secrets are reveled in that story like what happend on central continent

I have nothing to say about the novel aside from being full of plot twists, it has great character development and world building. Now, to the spoiler part, I have reached the point where Mc was kidnapped by Xue Kuangran to heal him, seeing that one prophecy has been achieved, I wonder if the other one with the three girls, the circle that shocks and the power that he loses that another gains is going to happen? And how? I don't mind being spoiled a tiny bit.

I was initially really excited to read about a novel focused on alchemy; few authors would have the courage to write about pill-making instead of depicting bloody action-packed battles and adventure. However, despite being quite an enjoyable novel to read, I ended up disappointed. The novel isn't 100% focused on alchemy, and the title is extremely misleading. The protagonist is definitely an alchemist, but that's not the story's main focus. After reading 400 chapters I realized... In reality, this is the kind of generic novel where the protagonist has the ability to learn anything very easily due to their high talent, so instead of solely focusing on alchemy, he waste time learning about numerous other things like formations, swords and fighting techniques. In truth, I'd say alchemy only comprises 25% of the entire novel. 50% of the time is spent in battles and learning about fighting and formations. The remaining 25% is allocated to other things like relationships and daily life. Another detail that bothers me a lot is the protagonist's irrational stupidity and naivety. Being a country bumpkin living on a farm far from the big city and having lived away from school isn't reason enough for Alex to act so childishly and naively. Only a 5-year-old child would do the things him do. But Alex are an adult in college. People without experience of social interaction don't act like him. This constantly takes me out of the story. Worse, in the first few chapters, no one tries to take advantage of the protagonist; everyone he meet is trustworthy and good, which doesn't make sense in a cultivation world. It takes almost 100 chapters or more for any consequences to occur. By then, I was so frustrated that I almost gave up on continuing to read. It's completely different from reading Cultivation Online for example, where the explanations for the protagonist's naivety and childishness makes a lot of sense. Not to mention, the author obviously drew too much inspiration from Cultivation Online. There are so many similarities that it almost becomes plagiarism, but I can assure you it's not. On the other hand, it's quite a fun novel to read—the plot about the real world, the mystery surrounding the game, what happened to humanity, and the protagonist's actions—all quite interesting things. I really like that Alex has a good heart and doesn't desire to kill or do evil things for selfish reasons. It's refreshing amidst the sea of novels where all the protagonists are cold and kill without hesitation. Ultimately, this novel would be perfect if that scene where the protagonist receives two masters had never happened. If the protagonist didn't waste time learning combat and instead focused solely on alchemy, it would be incredible. I wanted to see Alex become an alchemist step by step, rise in the sect hierarchy, become increasingly famous until he catch the attention of the sect leader. Then he could create increasingly incredible pills and travel the world using the alchemist skills to help countless people. Discovering new recipes, creating new recipes. A talented alchemist who would need unorthodox means to protect himself. Taking steps ever higher toward the peak. That would indeed be the Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy.

i like this story however the whole thing with gates mana and awkening is very offputting like earth is the real world and theyre just in side of a pocket dimension

Writing Quality ***** very good Stability of Updates ***** very good Story Development ** disappointing Character Design * bad World Background **** good I gave low marks because of a golden rule that I follow very diligently, I don't read anything when the main character has sentient clones. I'm disgusted by this. I was flustered by the time invested, and with the note that it ended for "me", I really liked the more positive theme of the book, and I was very flustered that it ended in a depressing way for "me".

Honestly I'm a reader that's not overly picky. everyone is complaining about how dumb the mc is but I don't mind. In fact, I rather enjoyed this novel a lot. well enough to get me to a bit over 550 chapters. But the story decisions made at this point are very frustrating to the point that I no longer want to read it. It's not that it's bad but 550 chapters in I'm invested in the mc. the REAL mc. It's not that what you did isn't an interesting idea it's just an extreme let down because it took way too long and lets us get too attached to the real him. if you were gonna do something like that don't give us so much IRL in it. it honestly doesn't even feel like the same story.

@snoring panda can you help me understand what happened on chapter 554. the soul thing is confusing me a lot can you provide some clarification so to what happened. Is the Alex in the real world not Alex and somebody else. and did the real Alex transfered into the game permanently? can you please explain ?
