    The interesting thing here is the cheat power. Notably, one 'simplification' allows the MC to consume hot water instead of qi to cultivate a technique, which, wow, that's pretty cool. The worldbuilding is decent, and the novel is amusing.

    The summary is quite misleading. I thought I was going to read yet another clichéd urban cultivation story, but this is actually more of a supernatural horror story with a relatively light and comedic tone. MC is basically a spirit hunting exorcist, as his cultivation techniques are particularly effective against spirits, evil or otherwise. Spirits with quirks similar to ghosts in horror stories are the antagonists in this story, so far no mention of any spirit beasts or the like. I like how the MC is to evil spirits basically what they are to ordinary humans: their worst nightmare. Writing quality is decent, translation has some problems (mainly with gender pronouns), but I've read worse.

    No romance so far, MC seems uninterested in such pursuits. He seems mildly sociopathic; he mostly acts ethically, but I get the feeling that it's more because he knows intellectually the difference between right and wrong and what is lawful or criminal, rather than it being an instinct coming from his conscience and empathy towards fellow human beings.

    Anyway, in conclusion, it's a fairly amusing and entertaining read, different from the most popular cultivation story formulas. I can recommend it, particularly if you like ghost stories and supernatural mystery.

    funny, pleasant, has enough chapters in the raw that the author probably won't drop it out of nowhere, filler text to meet the word count requirement

    Easily the best one of this batch. Simple and fun to read. Basically, the MC got transmigrated, ghost are appearing in this world, he just goes around beating them up. The humor matches the tone of the story. Plot is not giga garbage so far. The only complaint I have is the inconsistent pronouns, but that's the case for every trial read nowadays. Overall, me likey.

    The only unique thing is the new concept of the system, other things like world background and plot are nothing new and even quite lame to a certain extent, I'm not fond of harem and early romance, so when the mc entangles with women right in the first several chapters, I got turned off instantly. Not my cup of tea.

    I'm currently in the 70+ chapter (ty for raws) and so far I have no major complaints. MCs IQ is somewhat above average, side characters are not braindead and help move the story forward, enemies have a brain too, sense of humor is OK. So far I also haven't seen any nationalism or racism. This one is really the best of this week and an overall great time killer...
    Solid 4/5 from me.
