This novel is... okay.In terms of potential, this could be a fantastic book thousands of years down the line, when he is an unparalleled cultivator facing mortals.But, that has some caveats.First of all, if this world turns into just the present day with Great Xia, Cherry Blossom Country, and Eagle Nation, this will be an absolutely garbage book. I'm not sure if it will develop down that line or pursue some other route of technological advancement. I'm really hoping for the latter.Second of all, the main character needs a massive shift in personality. Right now, he is kind of a loser. Not in the cowardly, pathetic sort of way, but the weak-willed and slow-witted sort of way. He cultivates for two hours a day, doesn't bother getting better at other cultivation paths (such as alchemy, blacksmithing, etc), and also has quite the libido. The libido part is particularly annoying because the main character has mentioned more than once how much he likes prostit**es and how its not worth getting in a real relationship because he has prostit**es.Frankly, I would love if this book were to develop in a dark way. If the main character were to learn the fragility of mortality and separate from them because of that, observing them from a corner, this would be amazing novel.But, I highly doubt that.Another note, the translation is pretty good, though it's not the best I've seen. Nothing worth taking points off.
