I need a reprieve from this guy's bitching. One of the few novels which actually delves into emotions, character development and most importantly, mistakes.It's not perfect, but 3.8/5 till now Anyone know if there are free patron chapters somewhere kemono stopped updating Im following close to 20 novels in kemono and most of them are stopped. Im sad…. I just love this and can't wait for me. Very few I look forward to I liked slice of life vibe, is there any possibility of romance? it does look like there is. Tho nothing concrete as of yet. Why are the villains even more ridiculous and idiotic here than they are in the worst of Chinese trash? The weakest cultivators and mortals seem to give zero shits about offending powerful cultivators, even when they know that cultivators regularly wipe out clans, cities, and so on. Combined with MC's frequent "woe is me, the world is mean and my mind is tormented" attitude, this novel is far, far worse than it should be.Seeing peak Nascent Soul cultivators constantly mope around because they had to kill a profligate young master, a lady said something mean to them, or whatever dumb shit is just terrible. Every key character is the whiniest bitch I've ever seen outside of some Japanese bullshit, and I'm pretty sure there's a heavy Japanese influence in this one due to all the lame psychological nonsense that takes up half of some chapters.So much goddamn whining. Bleh.MC, as the most ignorant cultivator on the planet (the "we taught him wrong on purpose" meme, but for real, they actually did) also just happens to coincidentally come up with the absolute best and strongest cultivation methods all on his own. This is shit the top cultivators in the world can't think of after countless thousands of years, but dumbf#ck, whiny, bitch-ass, most-ignorant-in-the-world MC has done a f#cking dozen of them by chapter 77. I'm calling bullshit.MC's ignorance of both cultivation knowledge and basic life skills is such a major plot point that the story actually explains that he doesn't even know how to buy a f#cking APPLE, and you're telling me he created 10 new ways to refine qi, utilize different elements, enlarge his meridians, and whatever the f#ck else, ALL COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN? Fu#k off. No.For the positives, the English is top notch. The author actually knows their way around the language, which is almost unheard of with cultivation novels, even English originals, which are often worse than MTL edits for some reason. There's also a cool cat. I like cats, so that's nice. I really can't recommend this one at all. Maybe if you really, really like cats, but I Have Countless Clones has way more cats, and some of those are even cute catgirls, so...your call. Wow, such an impassionate speech. I do agree with most of what is said. Although the novel starts strong it has its glaring negatives. It almost feels like the author has not experienced life and is a whiny teenager, you know at the age where everything else is at fault and nothing is going the way they want.Oh and apparently for all his genious about cultivation MC is dense about love.On a final note I would add that I think the above reviewer missed the part where old farts give MC some manuals to read about cultivation and give off hand hints about it. So no contary to what author wants us to believe on first glance, MC did not come up witn qi routes and cultivation, he had alot of books to read and base his theories on. Only weird part is how he keeps getting those weird enlightment perks.Would explain that to MC halo. But that is just lazy. He isn't dense about love actually and does get to f#ck somewhere In 1st ir second book I really enjoyed this novel.My only concern is now I have to wait for a bunch of chapters One thing I like about this book is that, even though the fight scenes are not much, they try as much as possible to involve the viewers. One of my favorite cultivation novels. For now it's up there with early Paragon of Sin for me. Also the no system, cheat, reincarnation .. etc in the novel is refreshing. Does anyone have any similar recommendations? For me only Ave Xia Rem Y comes to mind. [9.5/10] "Beware the chicken" ، Although MC moved to a new world, he also does not have cheats and does not suffer from eighth grade syndrome and the main character. Rather, he decides to leave the sect where the original was suffering from contempt and bullying, and moves to the weakest place on the continent and starts a farm and lives in peace, there Also great fights and some mystery in the world building Ave is a little dark, but well written. I got caught up with it too, but there's a lot of tragedy in it, which I don't like a lot. I prefer stuff a bit more lighthearted, to make me happy and feel good rather than sad.Heavenly Jewel Master, Upgrade Specialist in Another World, Otherworldly Evil Monarch, Pocket Hunting Dimension, Let me Game in Peace, Sovereign of 3 Realms, Weapons Master are all completed. Complete Martial Arts Attributes is fantastic, but ongoing with over 2k chapters now.If you can stand a book like the anime Death Flags or whatever with a non-romance female protagonist, Tori Transmigrated was great.I read a lot of LitRPG, but you didn't ask for that. This is off the top of my head, and with my whiskey and cokes, all I can think of at the moment. Enjoy :D My Longevity Simulation is definitely worth read if you like Mother of Learning, and Reverend Insanity A fellow Paragon of Sin fan, I approve of whatever this mf says I've read up to book 2 ch 37 now and would like to give a review.This is a non-isekai, regressor, or reincarnation cultivator novel. The MC doesn't have any cheat at all. A novel so well written and addictive.The MC is a street trash and beggar in a little city. He seems to have a unique ability to Spoilerlower his life force/hide which attracted the attention of a traveling cultivator. For years he was taught by his new master and his master's friends Spoilerthat were at the nascent soul rank and thousands of years old. The MC is not some edgelord, nor some reincarnated master, or some stupidly written thief - type. He is just a kid who has never learned math, reading, or anything for that matter.The story isn't just about his master, his ability, the spirit beast he met, or anything of the sort. It is an introduction to the cultivation of that world, world building, and the journey of a young teen to adulthood and the beginnings of learning.The novel seems to be a coming of age/slice of life then adventure. The world is crafted plausibly, with the manner of interaction between mortals and cultivators, between sect cultivators and wandering cultivators, and between men and spirit beasts. It is amazing detailed and easy to fall into the story.To summarize the plot thus far: SpoilerMC is taught to read/write, math, herbalism and first aid, fists, spear, and jian over six years. Introduced to what cultivators are, and what the Jianghu is. MC feels a call concerning his enlightenment to travel "to the east" and he sets off on his adventure. The writing is so good I thought it was written by Er Gen, Tomatoes, Tang Jia San Shao, or another famous author. I quite recommend it. Does the author really use “Jian”? If so, that’s a really weird choice. Umm.. I suppose so. More realistic perhaps? It certainly doesn't have generic "sword", but rather the jian, dao (sabre), the spear, fighting fans and the like. Jian and Dao just translate to Sword and Saber even if they’re a slightly different type of sword and saber True enough, jian and dao mean sword and saber respectively. However, they are also historical weapons of a specific type, not merely a broadsword, arming sword or the like and called a jian.The author is an English writer and used those words deliberately. There is even context in the writing referring to the jian out of favor for the dao in their mortal armies - like it was in our own world history.The author was trying to make his writing as plausible as possible. Even during the training, breaking it down to 4 moves - variations of slash, stab, block, and parry. Weapon deterioration and damage from sparring and sending your qi into the weapon. The reason why 2 hands are needed for the spear, and how that is used.If you're wondering if you should read it, you should. It reminds me a bit of Painting the Mists, if you've ever read that series. Try royalroad or kindle.
