It's well written and fairly well translated (minor issue with consistency in plant names and mixing up species).The story focuses on the transmigrator, Lu Xuan, as he learns to survive in this new world. There's only a thin veneer of civility covering a cutthroat competition for personal gain. The MC has a cheat that allows him to progress without risking himself.Spoiler
But his own greed will sometimes land him in danger.
[collapse]The plant lore of the world is explained slowly as the MC learns new techniques.[Update]At first I disliked the lack and discrimination of the few female cultivators. That changes as the character moves elsewhere. Either it's a subtle note on the savagery of the area Lu Xuan began in or the author noticed that omission of females later. Now, in the Sky Sword Arc, there's an even mix of genders.
