Forty Millenniums of Cultivation修真四万年

I've read a bit of this, (currently around ~50ch) and to me, this reads and feels like a worse version of 'Oh my God! Earthlings are Insane!'.

Obviously the two are different; but if I tally up all their similar aspects and rate them, 'Oh my God!' would rank higher in my book than this would. The writing is better, the world-building is better, and I appreciate the MC and the characters around him a lot more- they're just more likable. I also find that world more interesting than this one, but that's just because I tend to just hate the 'ancient decrepit civilization' bs in xianxia novels when it's a central plot point.

Where as this, while it's still pretty good in comparison to some stuff I've read - gotta praise the translator, this book can not have been easy to translate, and the quality of it is just amazing - it's... kind of annoying to read? Chunky paragraphs, dense wording, etc. Which isn't typically a problem, but if you've read enough of these novels, it is because you practically already know what's going to happen in the next paragraph, so you have force yourself to not skim.

A great example of this is the Uni convention thing they have. The whole interaction with Ding Linglang is incredibly predictable and by-the-books, the entire convention is, and if it was all more condensed, it'd be much easier to read, whereas now it feels like wading through water. I wouldn't say the book is full of filler; just that book has too much in it, tries to do too much, and fills in 'gaps' between important paragraphs with MORE important paragraphs instead of giving the reader time to breathe.

'Oh my God' suffers from something similar, with the author constantly expounding on certain subjects, which is equally annoying, but Oh my God! has a better cast that helps alleviate from this problem.

I'd say this book is good- the comedy is half-decent, the characters are cool, the world built is interesting enough. But I can't see myself reading this for too long. As far as futuristic urban xianxias go, this is definitely one of the best from what I've read, but also way too same-y. It's unique aspects simply didn't hold up the book for me; whereas I imagine for most people, the book's interesting ideas would last long enough for them to get invested.

Another thing I'll mention is that while the book isn't nationalistic by any means, it does promote patriotism heavily; not really a bad thing, in situations like this (i.e, humans vs. basically everything) I find patriotism and what comes with it (dumb war camaraderie) to be a good draw.

Give it a shot if you like future cultivation shit.

I got to the , but I forgot where it was, it was above chapter 1000~ but below 1700~, can anyone tell me which chapter it is?


Edit: Found it while decluttering my bookmarks,

[quote=saiachyuth11]Sigh.... I never said civilisation was wrong.... Civilisation is indeed a Virtue... Through a civilisation, an entire race can grow... That u r right.... But what u r wrong is that.... I can assure u.... No matter the era, no matter the civilisation there will always be senseless killing and plundering..... That will never change.

Disappointing...... Such a great story.... Such great quotes.... Such great plots.... But alas...sigh.....Disappointing......if only this novel didn't concentrate on brain washing..... Cultivation.. What does it mean.... It means to be free.. Free from anything which we feel is restricting us.... Cultivate to be free and unfretted.... Cultivate to live for eternity... Cultivate to be able to do anything.... But yet... In this novel cultivators are nothing but police officers or soldiers... To save common pple... A cultivator has to die... Has to sacrifice himself.... If not... Evryone will look down on u... Your own family will kill u.... The entire society will judge u, condemn u and punish u.... Heh... What's the use of cultivation then... Better to live as a common man....

For anyone who (like me) really likes this novel and is frustrated by the fact that the translation just abruptly stopped 3/4 of the way into the story I'd highly recommend checking it out on WNMTL, I ended up finishing it on there and it's super readable, being much closer to actual human translations than it is to other MTLs that I've read.

This novel was interesting. I loved the good nature of it, But there are twisted worldviews and subtle manipulation's hidden in it. It was interesting until i noticed that simply reading this novel manipulates the mind. It subtly changes your thought's on certain things and messes with your head. Alongside that there are also the ridiculous limitation's that the author put on this novel declaring them as ultimate truth's. It's ridiculous, and they don't shut up about it either.

Подавай систему, где обсмеивают таких гг

Anyone know when Li Yao gets reunited with Ding LingDang? Like exact chapter after he left. That arc was boring for me so I'm gonna skip it.

I`ve read about 200 chapters, the novel is not bad but it`s not the type of novel I like. The characters are so selfless and righteous that in the end it feels fake, like its all too good to be true. Also, it`s too focused on artifacts, weapons, ships and stuff, I like stories where the characters themselves are powerfull, not their equipment, epecially a cultivation story.
Just my opinion.
