Chewbacca - Profile

Since this story is about to get buried in Webnovel I figure I'll write my first review ever. Hopefully it will be found and picked up later. It's 5 stars because it has a solid premise and also has potential. I'd honestly give it 4 stars based on what is shown as of the 36 chapters here, but 99% of people seem to have a pass or fail type of rating system so I can only adjust it in the future so as to not harm the novel. For those purely desiring an overpowered system, an OP mc, a pet taming, or an extremely fast paced novel where the MC is already in core formation or tier 3 power in less than 40 chapters... this novel isn't for you. For those who want a slower paced novel (built for a 1000+ chapters easy) with a lot of world building and some hardships where the mc is actually shown to struggle.. the target audience is somewhere in this group. This story reminds me a bit of the earlier translated web novels from when translating xuanhuan and xianxia web novels started to blow up, albeit not quite at their level yet. Now, the synopsis and title may be a little misleading, but I'd still say the story so far has been oriented around the mc's clan. I am interested if it will be like this in the far future of the story though, as it seems hard to maintain since mcs usually grow too fast for their clans to keep up without what are basically cheats, so 99% of the time they get left behind. His smartphone thankfully isn't too overpowered yet and only has 2 of the functions listed as of chapter 40. Granted, the trading currency for spirit stones seems extremely broken so I kind of hope he never gets that one. The story also "skips time" pretty frequently, but it at least makes sense. In a story of immortal cultivation where the mc is cultivating at a fairly normal pace that's bound to happen as there will be lots of downtime. There is a decent amount of explaining and world building, especially at the start, which I know can turn people off. Lastly, the author is trying to give the idea that the mc is a normal cultivator struggling with his path to immortality. Alas, he is still an mc with a couple cheat codes that give him an edge. Overall, the story has potential and hopefully the author can grow with this one. It is a tough writing style/novel to attempt and it's not for everyone to like.
