The novel focuses heavily on the technical, research, resources gathering and so on. So expect a lot of info dumps. The plot is simple, and really lacking action. 200ch and I think the MC fights less than five times. He just keeps getting stronger and do all this and that, developing this and that, but rarely fights. Which brings another problem. The titular "water bear" plays barely any part. As soon as the MC created it it's forgotten, as does the wine gu, and the dragon gu, and the formations and the shitload of other things the MC and author talked and wrote about for tens of chapters, all of them forgotten and rarely mentioned ever again, because the MC and author are too busy working on the next formation, or techniques, or gus, which I assumed will also be forgotten soon after completion.
The novel is basically a huge pile of info dump disguising as a cultivation novel. Which is a shame since the author can writes and creates good characters. Barely any arrogant young masters, or bullies from the same clan. Almost everyone from the clan were very nice can be considered good guys, except for one traitor which was swiftly punished.
If you like long winded "technical" novel which detailed the MC efforts in getting stronger without actually using his strength and barely any plot, well then this novel is for you. For those who like more action oriented, fast-paced novels, or novels with a lot of twists and turns, perhaps even mystery and suspense, then this one is definitely not for you.
