It is a chill breakdown of the Xianxia genre.

What it does best is maintaining the relevance of the events and the characters even after the MC becomes OP. The excitement has never diminished. The story flows logically. Overall, it is a good read.

this novel is awful. I just finished reading my senior brother is too steady and got through about 70 chapters of this until I asked myself "why am I reading this?". I skimmed through looking for interesting chapters until the end but they don't exist. This novel has nothing to offer at all. His cultivation speed is so fast, it's almost nonsensical. He has no admirable attribute other than his looks. There is no interaction, no emotion. Honestly a joke of a novel compared to my senior brother is steady.... more>> It's even more unreadable once they start introducing characters from the heavenly court. This is at most one of those parody novels where the MC is OP and shits on the side characters that are reincarnations of powerful figures. <<less

good novel, the only thing I hate is the chapters during measuring tribulation, I really hate how MC obsessed so much from protecting heavenly emperor, he let his dao companion and his disciples dies but do all cost protecting that person, I really want to choke author

Very good story, with an MC who is actually low key, and keeps being low key.
The rest is standard xianxia, down to the disappointing romance/harem and power ups.

I enjoyed it way more than I expected, due mainly to mc's personality.

It's a Good novel but not the best yet. MC is generic OP type, but the story itself little bit unique compared to other xianxia, wuxia novel. MC has a decent personality but the problem is too low-key. He won't leave the sect and almost entire time only cultivates, in the beginning, it feels good but after 200chapter I can't handle it anymore it's become too predictable and felt boring. And some characters suddenly disappear almost won't appear sometimes appear few lines. In the beginning, he cultivates an elemental... more>> body but that disappears too. If you have nothing to read then I'll recommend it. <<less

MC is really a coward and hate trouble but to the truth is he knew that being a brainless dude only push him to never ending fight and fight until he cannot practice. (After all he can get power and magic tool so why seek death if his cheat give more powerful than others)

He's only goal is to have a long life and be powerful to the point no one threatening him. Not to be a dude that wanted to over power the world. (Until later)

Later he build... more>> a sect without knowing. How to say that... Ah! People or beast see that he's and students look powerful so they wanted to learn from him.

To fill his boring life the curse book make the story not boring and more likely mysterious. He been give a vest of Dark lord or something.

He have harem but not love them deep enough to sacrifice his life. After all to his past life, he was so sick that make him helpless and now knowing that he can have a long life now, we can be blame that he wanted only to have quiet and peaceful life (if he didn't seek death)

Later I don't know but he became a little arrogant maybe because he feel secure and no one can hurt him. <<less

If you've read a few xianxia novels and are tired of the tropes, give this light hearted story a shot. It pokes fun at many of the things that have been annoying us for years, but it falls short on telling a compelling story without all the baggage to support it. For people new to the genre, I suggest bookmarking this and coming back to it.

I enjoy it, its unique and better than most of the crappy cultivation novels of today.

One problem I have is the names of some items are just too dam long.

Ex:

reading just an few chapter of this and you can already see where this is heading for. No face slapping? No this novel have face slapping. The MC remain (no pretend to be low key with his cheat you can tell he never have the intention to be low-key with all cheat). It so boring to read a lot of unnecessary word count and MC keep on remain low-key but trouble keep find him. Reading this just made me mad. I won't lie the idea itself was great as you... more>> read the synopsis but the way the author execute it and the reason why I don't like this is that, their a lot of novel out their that better than it and it feel like it reflect the Reader and Author personality. Maybe it just me being Bias to this novel because I read a lot of novel with similar theme. <<less

I usually like passive MC, but this one just soulless.

Everyone should have a goal you want to achieve right? In this novel MC just like a cultivation robot. Only cultivate and care about nothing else. Why he want to cultivate so much? Nothin. He cultivate for the sake of cultivate, nothing more.

If you live a 1000 year doing nothing but sitting in a cave alone, did you truely live a 1000 year?

Final verdict: A complete waste of time (like always, you just couldn't trust rating on this site)

Very unlike other cultivation novels. There is a system and all, but how it is used is very.... not normal? Haha...

This novel was very relaxing to read, but also very satisfying. Our MC is a unique fellow, unlike others I've read about. I've come to love his character, though he is such an oddball most of the time.

Not too much drama, just cultivation and I love it! It is super refreshing to read this, certainly not for everyone though. But trust me, once you get the gist of it, you'll... more>> just unknowingly become obsessed.

Very entertaining. <<less

I enjoyed some aspects, and not so much the others.

It's well written and translated, with only a few cases of gender confusion.

The main character is calm, rational, very risk-averse.

Most of the female characters are distinct, and some are very capable.

What I disliked:

• The system is too much of a cheat; I don't mind a cheat in the beginning, but would have liked to see the main character do more to achieve his goals. Instead, except for his incredible persistence, his only remarkable aspect seems to be the "system".
• The cultivation time expands exponentially, to the point where it's completely disconnected from any proportion or connection.
• The MC turns from a selfish but somewhat decent guy to an outright villain. Towards the end of the book, he takes actions that lead to multiple deaths without the slightest twinge of conscience. At the very end, he plays with lives and excuses mu*ders "because mortals are like ants".
• The ending in general was strained. Many of these webnovels have too short a denouement. This one has an overly long one. Once the MC becomes all powerful; instead of saving lives and fulfilling wishes he keeps playing games.
• And finally, much like My Senior Brother is Too Steady, this sometimes reads like fan-fiction of Investiture of the Gods.

It started interesting, but as chapters go by this concept got boring really fast.

MC does nothing but cultivate in cave for thousands of years, there are no character interaction, only MC reading what happened to characters while he was cultivating then going back to more cultivation. The only time characters even appear is when MC mentions them to remind us that they exist since there is barely any dialog between them at this point.

Honestly it deserves 3.5 stars maximum as it's extremely mid and doesn't stand out at all.

But the constant power ups and "omg the MC is so powerful because I can't hear him coming or whatever" moments that make a novel exiting and the cautious MC that give it a touch of realism (compared to the classic trope "I shall defeat every obstacle on my path, be it a mortal or the heavens themselves") make this work more high level than it should be.

I know, I'm saying that because the others... more>> are bad this is good in comparison😅. <<less

Good at first but gets very repetitive.

Hide, curse, read some emails about stuff that doesn't matter because the MC isn't going to intervene anyway, rinse and repeat.

I'm taking a break at chapter 656 because the pacing is putting me to sleep. This whole genre was an interesting novelty at first but now it's boring. The MC's just seclude themselves. 9 times out of 10, the interesting stuff happens to someone else off-screen.
