wait sh*t I think there are like 5 couples where the other half dies

Like most cultivation novels MC used to be a super strong cultivation master but died and was reborn in a child's body with no cultivation, he uses knowledge from his past life and his connections to climb the cultivation ranks little by little, this point I really liked bcuz it made me feel like I was reading a proper xianxia with a normal MC and not a "gay" one, ya apparently the gender of the love interest changes ur personality and makes men go cute and feminine in danmei, luckily this one was written properly

i.e. The MC is a 10 yo child and has to pay an adult fee to enter the town but Lil Pebble, also a child, is free to enter. In the town he is sometimes treated like a little kid and at others he's treated as an adult, even before he cultivates much. The author also sometimes calls him a child and then turns around at other times and calls him a teenager or even a young man (and he's treated as an adult and not a 10 yo child) ; it all seems to be at the authors whim or which way the plot is moving.

it's not really a spoiler IMO since it's in the first two chapters but some people are picky about stuff like that so I put in a spoiler tag.

For example, in the ends of the story MC will kill the demon seeds with the sword revolution, but at the beginning of the narrative it is actually explained that the MC wants to attack the demon seeds with the swordsmanship of Canglan.

There is also a small world that owned by MC which does not have definite clarity about its development at all, and several characters who have an important appearance at the beginning of the story but have nothing at the end such as the character of a two brother in the ML sect who are called geniuses, and many others characters which have a strong influence in the beginning of the story, but disappeared nearing the end.

This novel mainly focuses on the cultivation world and how the righteous sect fights the upcoming war.

It’s not that plot heavy but it can be a bit long winded. The story is on MC’s POV but its really more about the cultivation world which is also good for a change.

The love story here is non-existent for like 100 chapters. The ML doesn’t even appear after like 20 chapters and when he did, he just got to say 1 sentence lol.

But in its own way, the love story between MC and ML is also very interesting. I love chapters 130-150 because — although their love isn’t really blatant (the story is still more about the culti world) when we get a bit of fluff, it’s really the sweetest!!!!!!!!

Like the ML would just say a lil sweet words but because it’s unexpected or rare, I feel butterflies in my stomach!!!

Another thing I love about this is that ML is the reincarnation of MC’s 2nd disciple but MC treats them as different people which to me is really good cause in most novels, they treat the reincarnation as the same person but here, MC doesn’t.

+ thing that I like is that ML and MC doesn’t get together in an instant, there are a lot of time skips when they go into seclusion so like

One red flag about this story is (not really a red flag but its bitter)... there seems to be side cps but before those side cps develop, they end in tragedy 🥲 it’s interesting to read about the side cps stories but its so saaaaaad huhu

Anyhoooo, this story is a good read (just don’t expect too much fluff. There’s little fluff but it’s the sweetest)

MC, ML and MC's disciple from previous life all died, and get this, were reborn as children! So the ending was MC and ML (plus MC's disciple) growing up again!
