At first, I didn't understand why this novel had less than 4 stars, but as I continued reading, I realized it had a big problem. While the premise is interesting - a female immortal managing to break through the barrier of her world into the 'real' world - the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Two major issues come to mind, the FL being the first of these. As a romance novel, the characters are extremely important, as well as the relationship's development. To say it plainly, the FL does... more>> not act in a believable way. I mean, she's the sect master of one of the most powerful sects on her planet, dedicated to cultivation and immortality above all else, having single-mindedly pursued her goal for more than five thousand years. In the first place, she broke through the barrier because she disliked the idea of being manipulated by her 'creator' into a relationship with some random male disciple.

In the same vein, the way he (the ML) changes his novel in an effort to deviate from the same old 'harem-seeking' cultivation trope because he wants her to be more individualistic, follow her own purpose in life, contradicts completely with how easily she falls for him. This despite knowing he's trying to get in her pants, which she supposedly dislikes. In just a few chapters, the first-impression of her is completely destroyed, acting entirely out of character in a way that is indistinguishable from any other chinese FL.

I honestly wanted to give this two stars because it completely fails at executing it's own established premise, but it's at least well written enough that I cant do that in good conscience. To conclude, I'd say it's a pretty shallow novel that is ultimately not worth reading unless you're willing to turn your brain off. <<less

This novel is so good. The interactions between the MC and the FMC are well written and the characters have depth. The story also introduces some interesting plot points, but the author does a good job of not muddling everything together so the story doesn't get convoluted. If you want to give it a try, it might take a few chapters because the world building in the first 10ish is kind of heavy, but afterwards its momentum.

the dynamics of the couple in this story get stale. It's this sort of acrimonious relationship where she, every so often, will get offended by something he's done and (comedically?) physically assault him.

i don't mind that sort of thing as long as that initial situation eventually softens into something a little more sweet, but the way they relate to each other never changes even as he's supposedly winning her trust and affection.

the stuff about the supernatural plot in the real world was kinda interesting, but I was only mostly here... more>> for the romance plot <<less

All I can say is that there's good potential in this story. I hope the people that are gonna read this should at least try reading it on the first chapters

the most simple review about this novel is :

similar to RE Creator but + slice of life+ Romance +actions, MC female lead from his novel come to real world and assist MC create the novel he working by getting her critics, feedback & make male lead strong in IRL.

so why people give this novel low rating ? Because "Tsundere" female lead.

i recomend read the manhwa first, the romance is really really sweet, then continue to the Novel that kinda hard to read because a bit miss translations (you know... more>> tipical CN webnovel is really hard to translate or the worst you got is machine translations from other site) to understand how sweet their relationsship is & funny.

you love tsundere female lead ? You love to see female lead try her best intergrated to Modern real life, Actions & comedic romance ? Yes this is for you.

just don't read so seriously, enjoy the comedy relationships, male MC slowly growing from normal people to chads, and tsundere female lead to sweet sweet cute tsundere female leads that very cool strong at the same time.

that make you want to scream

Spoiler

please get married and have a child

if you have problem or dislike tsundere, this is not for you. <<less

initial comment is that it's pretty weak mainly because the mc's power is very strong (although almost unexplored), it seemed decent to me until the cult leader shows up because she out of nowhere for no reason starts acting like a woman in a novel of Chinese culture, like for example she is very affected by anything s*xual even though she is old, the fact that she accepts the abuses that the MC does without any redress (it gets to the point where she hits him and he even says... more>> there is a bit of flirting in it) and without any rancor (his constant "flirting" with her, his taking her hand "innocently", his not denying the relationship they clearly don't have, etc.), the fact that the MC doesn't have to make an effort to cultivation or to "enter" her heart.
Writing Quality - good
Stability of Updates - I don't know
Story Development - poor and without much sense
Character Design - also rotten and with some standard chinese preconceptions
World Background - it doesn't make sense the power of the MC that comes out of the line of power shown in the novel. <<less
