Walker Of The Worlds

This kind of writing quality is completely out of place on this site, I'm pretty sure it's against the rules or something. The story is very detailed and relatively slow-paced, yet it doesn't feel boring at all. For some reason even the characters behave reasonably and very believably, almost like real people. This novel should be way more popular, but it just had to have a cover art, that looks like 90s computer graphics, so there's no way around it.

*sigh*......such a great novel but it's constantly getting ruined by the endless amount of mysteries and some decisions made by characters are sometimes weird or just don't make sense just to setup plot points later *sigh*

I have only read the first 136 chapters. The novel has great idea and plot is interesting. The big but is that if you remember what author has told you before then it gets annoying when things just change. For example the size of his dantian dropped a lot at one point. First it was able to fit 2000 wisps of qi and then it was 1300. And there have been some other also. But if you can overlook those then this is great novel.

Now THIS is a great story. I feel like the tense is a little... off putting however. “He walks away” “he walked away”. the second sounds better right? I feel like this story is an amazing plot, The characters feel so real, The world design is great. however i feel like it would have worked better in past tense format. but who knows, This is just my opinion. very good :)

With each new chapter the quality of novel is going down fast. Super hero vibes in cultivation with sometime so cheesy lines that you start losing brain cells. Read upto 789 chapters, so far world background is awesome but brainded mc with super hero vibes ruin it for me.

On a pure writing quality, I can say this easily matches translated novels and even exceeds some of them. The world building is good, and the story arcs are innovative (for a xianxia). The power itself is also unique enough that I haven't seen it before.

Now the biggest problem by far that I have noticed is the pacing. We're at 400+ chapters but still technically on the first arc (1.5 maybe?). The chapters itself, around the 100 mark became crazy short. Like you could fit 2/3 of these into a normal chapter. So these 400 are the equivalent of perhaps 150 normal chapters length wise. The actual plot is probably around 100? Combined with the general slow pacing its incredibly frustrating to read, and if it weren't for the general quality, I would have dropped this a while ago. Honestly would prefer author combines chapters and reduces cliffs. Defintely a book you would need to stockpile.

That being said, this is still head and shoulders above most of the other originals, especially the drivel that are high ranked but chock full of plotholes and juvenile characters (the characterisation, not the actual age). The MC is naive but a quick learner (understandable considering his peasant background), isn't forced into idiotic actions. The general annoying xianxia cliches are minimized and characters other than the MC have more than 2 dimensions.

Overall a definitly good read compared to the others on this site, but not amazing with serious pacing/length
issues. So on this site, this is worth 5 stars, but on novelupdates and outside, probably 4. Recommend stockpiling between reads.

I've read up to chapter 600 or so and, like most of the stories here, it has potential but is wasted because everything comes too easy to the protagonist.
Does he need to evolve? wild situation happens and he goes to the next level... Does he needs money? boom, a senior gives all of his money to him, or he finds part of a sect's minnning ground and has lots of spirit sones...
The plot if filled with situations too convenient added to make him grow easily.
