Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Read up to chapter 184 for now.
Sadly the MC gets blinded by power. Making 5-year olds from clan work hard. Using public military funds for the growth of his own personal forces and clan. Not only that, but also framing with a death sentence a quite strong loose cultivator who has not done anything wrong except refusing to bow to MC and become his lackey. Maybe in some jungle law cultivation novel that would seem normal, but in this one, there are rules set by a big sect in which families can't murder and plunder weaker families as they please if they don't break the rules and the big sect also made restrains to big families so that loose cultivators and weak families can live rather safely and have an opportunity to grow despite so many things being monopolized. MC's family survived for as many as hundreds of years pretty much only because these rules were in place - despite being in decline, the environment seems to be quite stable and relatively safe, at least for the last 10-20 years there have not been any beast or evil cultivator attacks against them.

As it is portrayed, MC does harm to others for no reason, seems like a tyrannical villain and a hypocrite.

There was a case where MC stole some families' business and one of the more desperate family head retaliated out of desperation - because the business was too important for him (his fleeting breakthrough opportunity depended on that). MC basically cut their line of income and then made them a scapegoat ,,to scare monkeys". Of course, the family was not some good-hearted family, but hey, it could be solved another way. Especially when, after 50-100 chapters this amount money was nothing in the eyes of MC..

When other big guys asked him to join them, they didn't threaten or oppress him or his clan. Even when he refused, they either gave gifts or just dropped the topic. But when MC gets refused, he ,,feels uncomfortable", ,,his face turns ugly" and so he frames the guy who didn't want to be his lackey into... death sentence. Of course it later turns out the guy was a spy, author's attempt to glorify MC I guess, but MC didn't know that when he framed the guy. If he wasn't a spy, then he would end up framed too..

There's also that thing with Izumo slaves (Japan?). Izumo mortal women are treated as if they were not human, and even their memories are wiped out. And then.. these women become integrated into enemy's country (MC's) as wives and concubines of mortal families in clans to give birth to children with spiritual roots and so on. Why treat them like slaves when they're integrated into your family and give birth to your clan's cultivators? What if her cultivator child learns what his mother went through and decides to go on a revenge spree? There are already many such novels where MC avenges his mother by wiping out such family....

Update chapter 341.
Guess that's it for me, huh. The latest chapters kind of got out of hand, plenty of plotholes. The pace is all over the place. Why would they fight for hundreds of years then go all-out and do so much in just 2 months. The power ups are also too quick with no rhyme or reason, jumping a whole rank because author hasn't prepared corresponding arc and there was a gap. Also don't like how MC behaves lately, he was doing better in early chapters, it seems so rushed up now and he's just going all solo guerilla. Corpse tide of Zenjue took several years of buildup to settle which was fine, but how about now?

The novel felt like a mix of Demon's Diary, Protect Our Patriarch and some other. On one hand they're on islands, away from mainland, and warring another second-rate sect. On the other hand their little realm is merging with some demon world and there are space tunnels. A quite interesting mix to be honest, but the execution seems rather poor to me after the first 200,300 chapters: from management, planning, convos and buildups it became more of a fighting cultivation novel where MC constantly goes and fights powerhouses. This is boring.

This novel is overrated garbage. Slow pacing filled with incessant ramblings no one cares about. Anti-hero theme that fall flat because it instead makes the MC a dumba*s for no real reason. On several occassions, he takes idiotic actions that should 99% backfire and practically provide him with 0 gain. What we find, really, is someone who was a angsty teen shouting against the world because nobody would do his homework. Dude then becomes an adult, transmigrates and decides to mess with people's lives for NO REAL REASON to get back at the world for all the "bad" that's happened to him. Absolute hot dog water novel.

Trash
Mc is too much of a man child.

Wasted my time reading in freewebnovel.com.
...............................,..........................

Was good but the his cheat got upgraded & starts helping other kids of the family. I mean he basically becomes Nanny for the family which I don't like. Besides, I like when Cheat of MC is exclusive for MC & his wife & children. If other people also started getting benefited from this then it kinda leaves the bad taste.     So I dropped.     BTW, Novel is also not completed author gave up half way after MC ascended.

The novel is very good, the concept is nice, the plot development is mostly logical and interesting, even the character development is relatively good (something xianxia are notorious for being bad at), the main draw of the story, world building and kingdom building are some of the best I have seen among web novels.

Alas, it has a glaring major flaw, one I tried many times to overlook but failed to, because it destroys the main draw of the novel. To put it simply, the author loves retconning, he retconned the story so many times that I've completely lost trust in his ability as a writer. These retcons are primarily aimed against the protagonist, basically he gives the MC a power-up, then realizes that he became too strong for the current arc, so he retcons the story by either nerfing MC directly by making his cultivation techniques suddenly not work (he did this for soul refining, the MC is in a situation of endless resources but he's not advancing by an inch; and for body refining by first giving him a strong cultivation technique then just ignoring it) or indirectly by making his peers stronger than previously stated.

it's sooo boring. I mean other then unwanted info dumps and fillers there is nothing in this.

Very good novel....nice balanced cheat.... level headed MC
