    Garbage writing, bad grammar and confusing phrases that makes no sense. Steer clear of this.

    Read it until around chapter 100 in the raws.Slow story. This is certainly not a xianxia power rush. As another commenter as said, this is more like a slice of life novel. Some things to note: Just the fact that the MC's first major cultivation level has needed dozens of chapters to breakthrough should give the reader the right expectancy.The plot is the usual for this type of novel so don't expect great originality.The writing cannot be considered very good, but it is way above what we poor mortals are usually been fed in this site.The author seem to have done some little research about what he is talking about and not just spiting completely random BS just because it looks cool.Some characters are not just zero dimensional and could actually menace to reach 1 dim. In particular the MC. The author has managed to use all the tired and overtried chinese webnovel MC pseudo characteristics but managed to make them blend into something of a silhouette of a human being. That is a real achievement.This also means that our MC is not a copy of schwarzenegger's terminator.Unfortunately this also means that there are irritating situations and characters that hinder our easy reading flow. Some because of the way this caricature of a world influence its beings, and some just because the author is not that good at humor as needed in those cases. Note that this not mean that this story doesn't have humor. On the contrary. There is plenty of soft and even subtle humor, which is appropriate for a slice of life type of story....This author gives the feel of someone who is on its way to be a very capable professional writer, but only the future can tell.All in all this novel is readable and, given our drought of good books to read, might even deserve a 4 stars rating from me.

    The writing is comparatively good compared to other book with little to no mistakes in grammar or spelling through chapters.The author releases chapters frequently and reliably, if there is a delay the author usually informs the readers beforehand.The story is incredibly interesting and detailed, I like it much more than other cultivation novels as the MC increases in rank quickly in the beginning so there are few great dramatic events or encounters that are boring or slow due to lack of power or experience.The MC has great talent which opens up so many paths for the author to take, the author has also described a wider universe for the MC to explore after he is done with his current world. This allows the characters and the universe to expand into greater adventures and gives the author many more options to progress the story.This story is amazing so far and is one of the best and well thought out cultivation novels I have read.I sincerely hope that the author will continue with this story as it is simply amazing.P.s. Merry Christmas!!!!

    "Its a new drug my lab is working on. It's supposed to negate the poisons from cyanide. They are making headway but nothing concrete as of now. Uncle is very interested in toxicology you see." Li Jun told her calmly.
