The story is nothing like the synopsis and it's definitely not like Cultivation Chat Group.The story follows a young would-be cultivator that the author is determined to make look smart.The story starts with the protagonist trying to join a sect and become a cultivator. The first arc is about him "outsmarting" the tests. The tests given to the protagonist ignored simple problems with the protagonists "clever" solutions.The second was a training arc. It was decent, but nothing special.The last arc I read related to a job the protagonist took. It turned into a detective conan style mystery. Complete with the protagonist giving his "this is how I figured out the mystery". But doing this in a fantasy novel is a horrible idea. Imagine the detective saying things like, (I'm making up the example so I don't post real spoilers) "the only way you could have mu*dered him was if you possessed a level 10 gryphon, or a barrier defeating potion, or contracted with a demon." It's complete nonsense. The audience can't play along at all.
