Empire of Salt

Description

I just wanted to live my second life like I remembered my first, unbothered by the petty squabbles of the rich and powerful.

Sadly life, and other humans don't care about one's dreams, so I'll have to make due.

How do I plan to get back at them?

Well, it all starts with a bucket of saltwater.

    Good attempt at exploring the essence of cultivation and Qi.

    A rather refreshing cultivation story where the focus is on discovery rather than fighting and politics. It is currently more of a slice of life story, but may change at any time.
    The mechanics are interesting, and the world has been given ample room to expand.

    I greatly enjoy this work. It is a nonstandard take on a xianxia. Praise to the Author!

    This is a fun little cultivation story. It has a neat angle:
    SPOILER follows
    The MC doesn't like to fight. So, she's fairly OP, but just wants to make new and interesting things. It's a fun and different take on the usual cultivation story and absolutely worth a read.
    See if you like it, too.

    The story seems to be set in the early stages of one of the dime a dozen cultivation style worlds.
    People don't really know how to cultivate but have 1-2 ways that sort of work, allowing the MC to be self taught.
    So far the premise of taking down a trade empire via salt harvesting is at best a minor footnote we get reminded of every dozen chapters but is almost totally ignored. The MC actually harms them more by just beating up their assassins.

    I am enjoying the story quite a bit, but struggle due to grammatical errors that do need addressed.  It says something that I still am reading the book DESPITE those issues. I understand the author is working on correcting the issues which is great, as I look forward to reading more as time progresses.  Thank you for writing your story!

    A very enjoyable read.
    Tress adventures as she learns the 'secrets' of cultivation and creating her business are a nice and entertaining tale. There are quite a few typos and grammar mistakes sprinkled through it unfortunatly, but nothing that would really stop the experience.
    All in all, a very solid story.

    ★★★ 3.0
    Poor character management that bleeds on the story.

    ★★★ 2.5
    There is a chain of events which keep me interested, but the story telling of those events is rushed, lacking the pace that allows the reader to immerse themselves.
    The story telling is unfulfilling, and the grammar is not helping either, overall I don't want to continue.
