The only problem I find annoying is the mixup of genders . MC is male but becomes she sometimes due to bad translation. otherwise I found this novel to be a good read and liked it very much .
This was an honest surprise. I wasn't expecting to like a Whats New novel and was only reading it for the fast pass. Story wise, the plot is interesting and can hook you in. The only problem I have with this is the translation moxing up the pronouns which can be distracting. Hopefully the story maintains this quality throughout. Please drop me an mtl link or raw name if you happen to know it, I wanna read it.
Uncommon world setting, has traditional xianxia elements but is still unique (not in a gimmicky way like systems) Translation quality could be better as pronouns sometimes get mixed up. Looking forward to more chapters
Unique approach , good character design and background. While the environment is the same as many other novels, the concept is new and novel. Haven't gone too far into the story , only 25 chaps in. Almost tempted to spend and buy my way through the rest of the chapters , but i have been disappointed far too ofter, so im going to wait it out. Negatives : Gender mixup is a big problem throws me off completely. Character is very young, so perhaps the author aims to stretch the novel far , but that's a problem for me because most authors lose the motivation and the quality mid way and ultimately makes me feel like my time was wasted. Hope you can keep up the quality and not stretch it into a bad story just to fill up word count. Better keep it short as long as you keep up the quality.
Disclaimer for those starting this book - Don't expect traditional chinese power fantasy. This book's genre is kind of 'feel good' slice of life with traditional xianxia elements and the speed of cultivation is slow. A welcome respite from the trash we are served. The background of the novel is that the world's spiritual energy is running out so everyone depends on spiritual stones but the power dynamic of the world is such that the well off clans are powerful and they keep on holding on to the power hierarchy. So because of the income inequalities the wandering cultivators stay on the bottom of the hierarchy. This review is valid up to chapter 100, I've not seen much of the evils of human society. The society shown seems very idealistic. The only source of conflict is the stereotypical young master of a clan. But any source of conflict is warded off by the connections built by the main character through his childish innocence. There is one big plot hole which icks me. The protagonist is said to live a second life on Earth and then came back to his home world apparently. But the childish naivety and the childish questions on morality don't make sense to me if he has lived on Earth. There is a dialogue where his instructor says to him to remain low-key and not show off his talents and he treats this dialogue like a major epiphany which just doesn't make sense. So up to chapter 100 it is better if you erase the Earth part from your memory. It will be way better if you treat the protagonist as a native lifeform who is in his childhood and is very naive regarding social customs. Because the transmigration part of the story has not made an impact yet.
This is one of the best new novels I've read. I didn't expect to cry at some point as these kinds of novels doesn't emotionally appeal to me. This is quite a mix and match as sometimes it's fast-paced with action and sometimes slow-paced with a slice of life. Most of the arcs are well thought out and have a clear end/purpose. So, the premise of the novel is; [Mo Hua, the protagonist, is born with a weak body and poor spiritual roots but great spiritual awareness. Having a weak body means he can't take the body refining path as with his father, a demon hunter. So, he turns to the formation/array where he has some talent and where the stele in his mind is useful.] I would like to mention that the protagonist has a status of casual cultivator with poor qualifications who's only good at formations, so be ready for a lot of mentions on his poor qualifications. I would say this is a bit emotional as the protagonist is an emotional person. I think that's actually what made me like this a bit more as it has some emotional color into it. The side characters are not just 'side' characters but instead like the main character, their story unveils throughout the novel. I can name a lot of characters I've grown to love throughout Mo Hua's journey. Another feature of the novel is how the protagonist kinda leap frog levels. It's not the same as other protagonists where he directly fights as this one uses formations to attain that leap frog fight. Overall, I like this novel, and I'll probably continue to wait for it to finish. Although, I think this is gonna be long as it has a LOT of foreshadowing happening.
Anyone have recs that are similar in which the Mc focuses on a profession/occupation(arrays and formations in this case) throughout the novel and their levels/understandings go hand in hand
It is a great story. Different from your typical OP eastern mc from a cultivation world where despite having something you may call a cheat do not except in specific condition help in battle and only help him practice indefinetly from a a specific time range formation array thus helping him understand them through sheer effort and dedication and not some god-send opportunity. I recommend this story. FYI, the only reason i gave 3 star in translation quality is because while overall it is a good machine translation the are too many gender inconsistency of the main character where despite being a boy it is posted as a girl. This type of inconsistent become greatly annoying with time so I beseech translator(s), please check the mc gender in your machine translation before posting. In all chapters there is inconsistency it was reported by other readers so you should check on that a correct it please.
Refreshing story!! love the family bond friendship and was a first time really feeling the struggle of the mc and his family i looj foward to seeing how he fight or the story develop with the array!
Good novel. The story progression is quite suitable for me as it showed the life of a poor-cultivator background. This points out the reality where progress needs to be taken step by step. until now I've read til chap 35 and this novel feels like a slice of life for me where there is still no life threatening situation comes along.
As many have said the translation quality concerning gender can be an issue. Still, I love the novel as a whole. It's a fresh take and I would love to see more novels explore formations.
good read, super slow at the moment but also quite refreshing take in the category. been wanting to read about formation master cultivator for awhile and it's hard to find one especially one with such depth. quite slow in the development and not sure if it's translated poorly but the MC has been like 10 and in their teens simultaneously on multiple occasions. solid read. I'll stack for like 6 months before continue reading just so there can be some development.
The pronouns are constantly mixed up and somehow the characters lose their common sense as the story progresses and revert to regular xianxia characters. The world background is okay.
Mc is very very reckless. the only reason he is alive is because the writer wants him to be alive with no suffering.
I don’t even know what this novel is about it just some average low level cultivator through out I thought he would get some inheritance or something but it just all about this low level cultivator boring life 🥱
I honestly am absolutely loving it, the best parts are the training. A respectable rank below the quality of "Sword god in a world of magic", the magical world building is also a few respectable ranks below "Supreme Magus". The story is homely and super realizing, the poverty a 1 to 1 reflection, and the way people think are unique to each of them as well as the time. Honestly incredible if the words he and she were properly translated.
