    Ugh, what a draining tale. I persevered through it, but it was quite the ordeal. There wasn't much romance or character growth; the spotlight seemed to be more on the supporting cast, making the main characters appear like mere observers.

    To be honest, it's an enjoyable wuxia novel. As for the yaoi aspect, it's not really prominent; the only intriguing part was the blue phoenix, though.

    Firstly, I must express my deep admiration for xianxia novels; their allure lies in the captivating world of cultivation,尽管它们的情节可能简单,主角常常过于强大和存在太多打脸情节,但这正是它们的魅力所在,让人在阅读中寻求廉价的满足感和轻松的幽默。如果你不喜此类题材,那就请跳过,我将针对小说本身进行评价。

    这部作品给我最深刻的印象是角色塑造。通常来说,耽美小说的角色写作往往不尽如人意,主角软弱无能,而男主则显得自大自信。但在这里,我发现这个我之前鲜少听说的小说在人物刻画上超越了许多知名耽美作品,无论是主角还是男主,都展现出了立体的性格。

    剧透:主角通常在小说开始时是个强大的修真者,却意外陨落重生为婴儿,失去了修为。他凭借前世记忆和人脉逐步提升,这种设定让我觉得更像是传统仙侠小说,主角不是那种“娘”气的耽美角色,而是有血有肉的正常人物,这让我十分欣赏。

    至于男主,他的角色也被深度挖掘,他有自己的个性、喜好和情感表达。他热爱剑,会惊讶、悲伤、愤怒,虽然看似冷漠,但他依然是一个有感情的人。他们的关系并非单纯建立在痴迷之上,而是共同经历了生死考验后产生的深厚情感纽带。

    总的来说,这部小说在角色塑造上给我留下了深刻的印象,它既保留了仙侠的精髓,又避免了常见的耽美模式,是一次难得的阅读体验。

    I am nearing the end, but hesitating due to the emotional attachment. This book earns a full 10/10 and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's one of my all-time favorites. Although it doesn't adhere to Chekhov's gun principle, its storytelling captivates me with each plot twist.

    Jing Yue, the protagonist, stands out as a character. He may not possess innate qualities like patience or talent, but his wisdom from years of experience instills a calm demeanor when facing challenges. He embodies leadership, maintaining composure, listening, rewarding those who deserve it, and firmly punishing those who don't. His words resonate, as he says, "Follow me, but remember, disobedience has consequences."

    Jing Yue also displays kindness and empathy, avoiding naivety. He learns from his mistakes but never forgets them. The novel emphasizes themes like staying true to one's path, overcoming inner demons, acknowledging cause and effect, and the importance of hard work and dedication rather than shortcuts. It conveys a sense of tranquility, teaching that progress takes time, and success isn't solely dependent on talent.

    The protagonist's tragic death in his previous life highlights the importance of mental preparedness and the transformative journey he undergoes throughout the story. While there was an 'ultimate enemy,' the novel's true resolution lies in his understanding and mastery of his techniques. In essence, the narrative emphasizes growth, self-discovery, and the interconnected nature of life's lessons.

    "I initially thought it was completely translated, but my sanity is questionable now (QQQ). Great read!!

    What I particularly enjoy about this book is the world-building. Although cultivation novels often follow a similar structure, the lore in this one stands out to me.

    This isn't your typical love story; their interactions take place after dozens of chapters, but when they finally come together, they'll make a powerful couple, I hope soon (ahaha). The plot progression is fantastic, and it's satisfying to see the main character grow. The supporting characters may not be numerous, but they're likable.

    I can't believe it's already chapter 59, and the sweetest thing the main couple did was a warm gaze from ML – the slow burn is simply delightful (haha). If you're looking for an exciting pace, this might not be your choice, as it's quite calm and relaxed.

    Edit:

    Oh my, it's HIM! And they are the cutest, most formidable Daoist companions in Qifeng! Thank you, author, for making this book relatively easy to translate.

    However, I was wrong; there are plenty of adventures here. The main characters keep getting lost in hidden realms with intense plot developments, yet everyone assumes they're secretly cultivating – it's hilarious.

    The twists and storytelling are satisfying, and the concept of time and reality being relative is well-explored. Side characters like WZ and RJ also have engaging stories (;∀;).

    Spoilers ahead:

    Be prepared for a few instances where one half of the couples meets an unfortunate end.

    Though it leans heavily on lore and has a slow romance, once the characters develop feelings, the story takes off with a swoon-worthy climax. I give it a 10/10 and look forward to reading it again."

    To be honest, this novel can be quite draining. What I appreciate most is its expansive universe, which is in line with the typical setting of a wuxia tale. The beginning was indeed exhilarating, but the middle section became tiresome, especially when reading through machine translation. I felt a sense of relief as I approached the climax.

    Despite the fatigue, the plot progression was well-structured, gradually revealing hidden secrets and building up to a satisfying finale. The main character (MC) was initially knowledgeable but lacked physical prowess; he grew stronger over time by disappearing to other realms whenever conflicts arose. While I found the MC somewhat bland compared to other witty protagonists, his calm demeanor was appealing. His character development made sense given his long life.

    The novel primarily focuses on cultivation, so the romantic relationship between the MC and the love interest (ML) progresses slowly, leaving readers wanting for more intimate moments, or "dog food." However, their interactions were heartwarming and genuine.

    One aspect I appreciated was the limited reliance on confrontational scenes, as the MC demonstrated magnanimity, wisdom, and a softer side. This resulted in less memorable antagonists throughout the story. Surprisingly, it was actually the talking blue chicken, Jiji, who seemed to drive the narrative forward - quite an unexpected twist! [spoiler alert]

    So far, it's been fantastic. Although I have some speculations, the machine learning aspect hasn't been introduced yet. Moreover, the chapter I'm reading ended abruptly, leaving me hanging. As for translation issues, I haven't noticed any, but I've become quite adept at discerning them, so who knows what might slip through the cracks.

    I started to lose interest in this story when the characters became too entangled in their small world. The main character seems a bit overpowered, which made me question why I was still reading it.

    I appreciate the immersive world-building and the leisurely pace of the narrative. Although the main characters (MC and ML) possess god-like powers, it doesn't detract from the enjoyment. Despite the relatively late onset of the romantic aspect, the story remains engaging due to MC's compelling character development.

    What adds charm is the ML's proactive flirting and his thick-skinned nature, which leaves MC speechless on more than one occasion, eliciting laughter. However, my sole criticism lies with the ending - it feels abrupt, and there are plot points that were left unresolved.

    The character seems to be expressing confusion about the main character (MC) continuing to stay with the old man in Chapter 3. Initially, the MC sought shelter, but after a single night, the situation changed. The character points out that the old man's possessions, like the desert wolf's pelt, which can fetch around 10 silver taels, should allow the MC to afford a new house without depending on the old man. They also mention the MC's newfound alchemy skills, suggesting that they could potentially protect themselves better.

    The writer feels frustrated by what they perceive as the MC's overly cautious behavior, questioning why the MC is still showing loyalty to the old man, especially considering the potential risks to their safety due to their unique abilities. The writer believes the MC should prioritize their own self-preservation, even if it means not prioritizing the old man's well-being.
