Lightning Is the Only Way

As someone who read the whole novel, I'll give out 4.8 stars.

The Writing Quality is perfect. Well, I can't say much on it as someone who doesn't naturally speak english, but it was perfectly understandable for me. And even if there were errors and misspellings, they were quickly corrected as soon as possible.

Story Development? That one deserves some praise-worthy claps! Wuxia? Xianxia? The search of Immortality? Dao? The understanding of medicine? Get that stuff outta here! This novel makes a twist out of everything that would be considered cliches! Immortality is actually achievable, the dao can be actually understood! The elements of the beginning matter even in the end, and the elements of the end explains everything about the beginning! Everything makes sense once you read the whole novel, and you will not regret it, I can assure you that. So, before reading the novel, don't assume that what you know from the other cultivation novels will help you here, because you will be as lost as an American in a vegetarian bar.

Character Design... Well, it's excellent! Our protagonist, Gravis, goes all the way through the emotional spectrum, starting as a naive kid before trying to harden himself to prepare for the world of cultivation, before he actually matures. Everyone makes mistakes, and Gravis is no exception, but it's because of the mistakes he makes that he grows up after understanding and learning how to deal with them.

You will rarely see a protagonist with a personality as excellent as Gravis among the novels here in Webnovel, in my opinion. However, while I want to assign 5 stars here like in the rest, I have to take off a point because that's as far as it goes for Gravis. As for the side characters, I have to admit that they all were written with a plan in mind, the author knew what to write for each of them and perfectly shaped them as he wanted. However, to be honest, I think the author could have done more with them, but it's fine as long as the novel is good, which it is.

Updating Stability? Well, it was 2 chapters a day like the majority of the novels here, what else can I say? Except at the end, when the author had to send out 1 chapter every 2 days due to some deals with WN itself for a certain in-app event, the author respected his timeline.

World Background? Absolutely outstanding! This cultivation world can truly be called unique, and you can't tell me otherwise without reading the novel first! We have all the tools to understand the whole world, along with some details that gives us a clear sight of how the world looks like. As for everything else in the sidelines? That's open for interpretation. But they are on the sidelines because they don't truly matter, you can consider them at most as filler.

All in all, I truly appreciate the time I spent with the novel and the author. I enjoyed reading about Gravis' journey across all the four worlds, and seeing the ups and downs of his adventures.

Whether it was when Gravis was heavily injured because of unique circumstances, whether that happened during a hard fight, whether he spent his time by himself getting stronger, whether it was when he found his friends and lover, whether it was when he dealt with his father, the Opposer, and the Highest Heaven... As a reader, I can definitely say that I am satisfied with this novel, from the start to the end.

I will be reading Sword God in a World of Magic now, a novel made by the same author. For anyone reading this and actually liking the novel, I'll be waiting for you in there. Goodbye, Gravis and everyone, it was a pleasure to read about your story.

pretty solid novel, some people bash it for the fact that the "bad luck" part of the novel is all heaven's fault, and yes it is, but that's part of the novel. it isn't some random bs that he just blames it out of nowhere, it's part of the main characters "gravis" background. it's something his entire family has to deal with, not just him, so I see it as just another element of the story that adds something else to make it less boring. This story isn't repetitive either, it's not just "go to new place, make someone mad, get their family/master involved, then whole sect, destroy sect, go to new area, repeat" when the enemy is the world itself, instead of trouble popping up randomly, it's instead finding allies and friends that is random since the mc has to assume the world is against him.

overall, this novel has some pretty good development and story elements to it and takes a very different approach to cultivation compared to other novels, and is worth the time to read it.

I have not read a lot of this, however I don’t t think I like it. This man’s motivation is weird, he wants to cultivate to get strength and seems to attribute every problem of his to “being to weak” like he for real says that about anything. Also the dialogue is wack and they talk like they’re in modern era. Also, and my biggest problem with this is that he doesnt have enough hate in his heart, going back to his weak motivation. It seems very choppy like his motivation is rarely brought up and you cant really feel his hate for Heaven. He wants to gain strength because Heaven created his best friend with a short life span and because of this he wants to gain strength so no one can do anything like that again. STUPID! And his dad the so called “Opposer” heavens equal could do nothing, really

Reading through this novel all I can say it has been a wild ride. While reading this I have laughed, I have cried, I have felt angry and happy, this novel is phenomenal. It had the perfect ending, and the story makes the reader experience a myriad of emotions. This is by far the best novel I have ever read. I haven't genuinely cried in years but chapter 1300+ hit me hard. You sir made a great novel. Please continue writing and make more stories like this.

Hi! I've first read Kill the Sun and Sword God, and I really liked the character development and the darker side of these novels, and so I wanted to know if this novel is similar to the other two, and if so, in what ways?

you wont regret it

I might read this rn, or wait a week

The novel "Lightning Is the Only Way" left an indelible impression on me. A captivating blend of suspense and introspection, it weaved a gripping narrative that kept me hooked from the first page. The protagonist's journey towards self-discovery was both electrifying and thought-provoking, as if each lightning strike illuminated a new layer of truth. The writing was犹如 a literary storm, powerful yet poetic, making it a must-read for adventure seekers. I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the characters' trials and the unexpected turns, making this a book I won't soon forget.

Pretty good, definitely recommend got a good story so far and like how the Mc knowns his end goal. And I know for a fact the thing that gonna be attractive about this is the Aventures

Even though this is a cultivation novel It has continued to truly Surprise me And keep me wanting more.

Written pretty well with some minor typos or spelling mistakes but nothing too noticeable

You do have to buy chapters eventually but there’s plenty of good stuff to get you hooked before that

It’s just generally really good

I highly recommend you guys check it out

This novel is truly rare.
more than a hundred chapters are up so you can basically infer how good or bad a novel is and according to me, it's a well-written novel.
The author is new but he is improving steadily.
The characters can actually be considered a part of intelligent species.
They think before they act, and everything happens for a reason.
The protagonist has had no special encounters until now(grandpa in a ring, helping some hobo and receiving some cheat or some inheritance).
He might have a few advantages but there are drawbacks. This novel doesn't use recycled cliches(which deserves a salute)
Everybody might not enjoy it, this is just a review according to my impressions.

To Warmaisach,
I've been reading this novel since it was a trial read.  It has only gotten better and better.  While I would love to be able to read more than two chapters a day, please don't rush the chapters.  The current quality of the novel is absolutely amazing.  Thank you for your awesome story and I look forward to being able to read it until it's conclusion. (Which hopefully will not happen for a long time :))
