Description

Over countless lifetimes, Bu Bian has always squandered his potential on drunken schemes and foolhardy attempts to become rich. Only his endless ability to kiss up to the almighty judge of the afterlife has kept him from being thrown into hell. When his latest reincarnation ends in another disaster of his own making, the judge sets him an ultimatum -- redeem his thoroughly filthy karma in a single lifetime, or be sentenced to ten-thousand years of suffering,

Alas, Bu Bian might well be incurable, and his attempts to do good can only lead to even worse disasters.

One can only imagine how much Wuxia and Xianxia fiction Uncultured must have painstakingly studied for comprehension and deeper insight, before carefully refining each familiar idiom and turn of phrase and coalescing them into a dao of staggering purity and depth.
Eating Gods, Becoming Beasts shamelessly straddles the line between imaginative folklore and cleverly written serial, serving as both a fresh breath for veteran readers of the genre and an excellent introduction to initiate the unaware and unsuspecting.
Each character is rendered in exquisite detail, and every scene lovingly built up to paint surprisingly vivid visuals as the story unfolds—adding color and life that stands above and beyond other Wuxia and Xianxia I've read. I wouldn't dare to give this any less than a full five stars.

Awesome novel overall!
I am liking it so far! One of my pet peeves, but I don’t like asian character names. XD
For the style, it’s a classic story telling style. Narrator speaks in third person, while characters talk to each other. It’s a nice style that can’t go wrong.
For story, he plotnisnt unique, but I’d rather common. BUT, I love this kind of plot, I can’t get enough of it, so I gotta give it a good rating!
Next, grammar is perfect. I couldn’t spot any mistakes and your use of language is better than average. Word choice especially.
Lastly, character. It’s your usual character archetypes, but if you do it right, it’s awesome. And that’s exactly what you did!
Loving the story! I advise everyone to at least give this novel a try! Keep on writing!

Pros:
Extremely well written (for a cultivation novel)
likable characters (especially the MC)
Cons:
As I mention in the title, this is abandoned.
Falls into the usual trap of cultivation novels. MC gains power so quickly that seemingly insurmountable problems are blown by in a matter of moments.
Power curve / gain is stupid fast
Shallow female leads (this one is debatable)
Enjoyable for some light reading - but don't expect the author to return anytime soon.
