Fox Demon Cultivation Manual

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”

Song Ci, “It, it’s all a misunderstanding……”

Really one of the best classic themed novels ever written. Translation is A+++, being able to deliver the exact feelings of Song Ci and Rong Bai.

There is too much hurt and love between Song Ci and Rong Bai. They are one of the best couples and truly made for each other.

The plot twist the arcs and is very well introduced and having everything making sense in the end. Overall this is really such a great masterpiece.

First of all, Lianyin's translations are the best!

The MC is hilarious, and the ML is a bit icy but super gentle to him. I loved their interactions, as well as nearly all of the side characters! The plot is this overarching mystery that draws you in more and more with each arc, featuring smaller mysteries and plenty of action and humor along the way! I did find the ending strangely rushed, though; otherwise this would've been perfect.

I really love the slowburn love story of the MC and ML. I kind of get the author why the MC was full of flattery words everytime he is being cornered by the ML. I mean he just want to survive that bad. And the ML how he was being written was absolutely on point. He doesn't give a damn to those he is not concerned. And from the beginning it seemed as if he was not even paying attention to the MC which is pretty decent and actually refreshing... more>> stort (but then, maybe it's still too early to comment. Lol.) Also, hats off to the translator, this very easy to understand, it feels like reading a literature with footnotes provided. Thank you for the hardwor !Overall, I am looking forward for the character development as the story is getting deeper so I give this 4 stars. I am reserving the last star (see if this is deserving) as soon as the transl will be completed. ? <<less

As someone who had a hard time understanding english, made me glad that the translation in this are easy to understand. Im not really into reading but I love 9 tailed foxes and this caught my eyes too.

The Interaction between MC and ML are funny especially when u know who the ML is. That sometimes I want the MC to shut his mouth, lol. But there are times that I do feel annoyed with the MC. I also love how the MC can be unpredictable sometimes, so I dont know... more>> how he ll react to certain situations, but that s not bad at all. I love surprises. By the end, things escalated a bit quickly, lol. I felt like there s something odd about the ML about the way he do things by the end. If there s such a twist.... It gotta be good. Cant wait for the next chapter. ^^ <<less

Parts of this were tragic, but ultimately their love was really sweet. Prepare a box of tissues for the last ~20 chapters though, especially if it's written from Rong Bai's perspective.

I do think that Rong Bai's past did have a tad too many tragic tropes crammed in, but I can overlook that because I love this story so much and it still managed to make me feel sad even though I was expecting some of it.

Overall, this was a great novel and I'm happy I found it.

The story will keep you wanting more. It's mysterious enough to hook you up. It could be dragging in the middle but don't worry you will be satisfied with the ending. Although, there are still some questions that remained unanswered but most of them are answered in the last part. I love all the characters.

The translator in Jade Rabbit site did an excellent job. The translation is beautiful and almost perfect.
Read this if you want something a bit serious, a bit funny and a pinch of mystery story. Expect those cliches from time travel cultivation stories though.

It is a novel about course & effect where the MC goes back in the past but that leads to the present. It has family situations & psychological trauma. All in all it was fun & enjoyable, I loved everything about it.

This is one of the story that I read in one sitting, although I took little breaks like watching on yt lol.

Anyway I could say that this novel is good! Rating it 4.5 to 5? I'm not entirely sure. It is a great novel that will make you smile and cry. Yes there are pains in here so beware!!

The love between ML x MC is pretty sweet at the end. The romance flow is slow burn because MC is dense but funny.

It's a good novel but I don't think I... more>> will read it again, maybe only when I forgot the plot and the description will give me curiosity then Imma read it again.

Anyway I would recommend for you to read this! <<less

Personal enjoyment 3.5/5. The beginning and middle were funny, but after the reveal the story just did a weird turn for me. It was a cute and lighthearted concept and then the author just tried turning it into something super serious with time travel and 180 personality changes to the MC that made no sense

LOVED this one! The plot is really well linked with not only the main but super nice secondary characters!

The Main character was tricked 3 years ago to drink from this fruit that was in reality blood from The demon King. He became then half demon, so he travel all this time looking for The demon King so maybe he can fix him to be human again.

So finally he ends up meeting a very powerful Daoist monk who tells him that he can help him to go to the Demon Realm... more>> (were The demon king is)

Soooo the funny part, this Daoist monk is THE DEMON KING HIMSELF (is not spoiler, is pretty clear from the start) but he is totally oblivious all the time and make really good comedy relief!

Of course, with the days go on, their conexxion goes more farther than a simple friendship :P <<less

Cute and lighthearted, a pretty average webnovel. The plot takes a while to get going and I liked the interactions between the protagonist and the side characters (eg. The wolf pup) coz they were pretty cute. I wasn't really a fan of the time travel plot in the second half, and I skimmed the last few arcs.

A pretty good story... action filled and good story line... Great characters.... loved it... but this is a part of a trilogy and hence the entire story is not complete... it is to be continued... but this couple's story as the main lead ends in this book.... all in all a good and interesting read... thanking the author and the translator for bringing us this piece of gem...

The review that got me to pick up this novel said something along the lines of: 3/5 quality, but 5/5 enjoyment-- and I will echo that sentiment.

Shockingly, my interpretation of that three-star rating does not really have to do with the plot (s). I found the narrative pretty coherent, and while there were a good amount of "mystery" sort of subplots, they do not necessarily require for you to pay attention to the smallest details. You are usually just finding out what happened right alongside the protagonist. If you are... more>> looking for nail-biting suspense, just look elsewhere. Everything here is either one, silly, or two, past tragedy (that has worked its way into the present). I even found the contentious

[collapse]
which is nothing to scoff at from a writing standpoint.

My affection for the MC and ML are also pretty solid, their backstories are decent, and I at least have a sense of who they both are as characters. The actual development they go through varies. The MC has an arc, but a lot of the ML's motivations have already come to pass. The secondary characters are also not bad for the most part... The lack of decent women in the cast definitely is worth a grimace though. We have something like four horrible women, at least one victim with very little development, one competent woman who shows up for two chapters, and

in a tree.

This is not a profound novel that moves you to tears (though I did cry) and leaves you aching with the cruelty and unfairness of established power structures (though it does arguably also make commentary there as well) -- This is a (mostly) fun time. This is fools to lovers. They end up happy and sweet and together in the end.

In the end this book leaves you with the feeling like you ate a can of whipped cream. Was it an elevated experience? Did it leave you more cultured? Are you better as a person?

No.

It was a fluffy, sweet experience. <<less

It's about a young man who had an incident which finished with him consuming the demon king's blood and making him a demon. The MC obviously does not like that but that's not everything because all type of demons keep attacking him to get his blood. The novel tells us all different adventures he has during his trip to find a cure and become a human once again.

.

Before starting a new book I tend to read a few reviews (without spoilers) to decide which one to star first. This one... more>> was an exception, the reviews were not as good as expected as I read people's deception reading the last chapters.. But my desire to read it won over it.

And now that I have read it.. I must admit they were

Spoiler

kind of right.

[collapse]

Spoiler

The first three arcs were better than the las two. But this comes from my opinion and judgement about time travelling.

So I spent those whole chapters with a kind of disgust as I was not swallowing it. But in the last arc, the author kind of explain it and I decided to just accept it. (At the end I ended up wanting to read it again so I could enjoy it like it kinda deserved.)

[collapse]

Spoiler

About the final battle, the reviews said that it was too quick and blah blah blah but actually I did not feel that. The whole book has been telling us that Rong Bai is the strongest among the six realms with a great difference, there was no one even near to his power, not even Song Ci (?).

So when we have the villain in front of us, in the final battle, we all know that even Song Ci could easily win, so obviously Rong Bai could too. And so that's what happens and I'm pretty happy about that. I'm tired of having these situations where they tell us 'x' character is super strong, but when the final battle comes, the vilain gains a leveling up just to be able to compete against 'x' at the same level (somehow). That's not necessary!

Another point I do not agree with the reviews is the OCC the Song Ci gains at the end.
In the last arc, Rong Bai says himself that leaving the dream realm is not that easy as 'going there going out' and that's it. No. There are consequences, and Song Ci's was having all of that resentment against everything alive excepting Rong Bai.

[collapse]

The characters are. so. lovely.
I mean, I fell so in love with the main couple and all the side couples. I even got more invested in the side characters as I read those arcs... For once that's good because it shows you don't need to read a lot to get attracted to, but it's sad because you ended up wanting more.

Spoiler

For the second arc, I fell so much in love with Fu Chi-- OMG my boy, my little and cutest boy. I cried so much while reading his story... And even though it all ended well I am so sad that the author didn't give us anything more about them at the end.

And same with the third arc's couple. I grew up so involved with them-- I couldn't stop reading, I needed to know what happened to them.

[collapse]

So to sum it up, the main points about his book are:

  • Foxes
  • Super cute main couple
  • Amazing side couples
  • Really well translated story
  • If you want to understand everything, you need to read the other books of the same author
  • Funny
  • Have I said foxes?
  • Drama
  • And more foxes
What else to say? If you feel like reading it, don't mind the reviews and just do it. It is really worth it!

PS: Thank you Lianyin for this awesome translation! <<less

It took me two tries to read this novel but I finally finished it. Let me start by saying that this novel has some good points. The characters are great, well fleshed out, and I love them. The main couple is sweet and adorable, the side couples are fun to read about, and overall, the plot is entertaining.

However, the downside to this novel is that the plot is like a rabbit warren of ideas that don't actually flow together that well. A lot of the plot feels like filler and... more>> jumps between tropes like the floor is lava. I can't say it was a satisfying read, but I did like the characters enough to power through. <<less

3.5 It has a great premise. I loved that there were cases they solved. I actually hoped they solved more cases. This story seems overloaded with background info and CP but only because this is a part of closely related novels. The way this was written is like complicated things all around which eventually comes into place at the end but put unnecessary stuff there and yes it was pretty annoying at times but the start is really great. The ML gets jealous but he just usually glares when someone... more>> gets clingy to MC but does hinders him from making friends. I mean basic human right but this is BL so that made me kind of like this ML. The MC feels foolish because yo he did not know this world before. I liked his clinginess to the ML, like the right amount of sweetness and he's not one of those MC who gets teary eyed with peach blossom eyes. Niceee. <<less

Twas cute. I had quite alot of fun reading it. And I loved all the characters so much. (Really wish we got more of Wen ChangGu, he was hilarious)..
They were definitely some loopholes in the plot, and the last Arc had me a little confused, but all in all, it was an enjoyable read (binged it in 2 days too).

Firstly, I do not agree with those who compared this with mdzs and tgcf.

This novel might have some potential but it was not well executed. Many things happen just for the sake of plot convenience.

But it's not bad either.
