  Writing style is solid, descriptions to imagine the world and what’s happening is rlly good. The way Jiang Taos thoughts and the action around him are balanced is great. Conversations feel natural, showing how the characters get along and what they want. The author uses good imagery, especially when describing fights and settings, which helps pull you into the story.
  The plot is interesting, with a mix of action, character growth, and world-building. The idea of Jiang starting from a simple life and getting into the complicated world of the sect is classic but done well. The sect politics, rivalries, and the bigger mystery about the imperial succession add cool layers. pacing is pretty good, with each chapter showing new parts of the world
  Sentence structures are varied which keeps things interesting. Grammar is good. Later on author could use an editor ofc, but so far I's easy to read and udnerstand everything. I'm not native EN speaker and it reads easily.
  Characters are well-done but I wrote that above already, with each having their own distinct personality and goals. Jiang is a likeable main character, and his reactions to everything feel real. side characters like Zhou, Zhang Yuhan, and the bad Zhang, lol :D brings more depth and different views to the story. Overall its great! I would maybe invest a liitle bit more into developing the bad guys backgrounds too, but thats just my opinion.

  The opening chapters of this cultivation novel do a really good job of setting the stage for an amazing tale. The protagonist is an interesting character, and the world-building is rich in details, making the readers immersed in the story.
  The characters as of yet are well-developed and believable (also relatable). I didn't notice any grammar mistakes, and have no negatives as of yet, it is still too early for that, but the story is headed in a great direction. It is definitely worth reading, I'll be sticking around to see how the journey unfolds.

  This novel is a great novel, focusing mainly on eastern fantasy and cultivation, along with an isekai to mix things up a little bit.
  Firstly, this book is written beautifully. I wish I could write as good as this. The range of words used is great but not too complex to make it seem too overdone or verbose. It adds an extra layer of depth and engagement to the work.
  As for grammar, there has been practically no noticeable errors. The handful of errors I struggled to notice were very minor and easy to read over.
  The characters have depth to them, and we get to see a wide range of natural personalities and character types in just the first handful of chapters. The book also uses a lot of action description and not simply ‘tell’. We get to figure out the characters’ personalities from actions, not statements, which is great.
  The story is engaging too. Even if this book is a slow read, the plot continuously wants to make you read on to see everything unfold.
  Overall, this work doesn’t fall short of a 5-star rating and is top tier.
  This is a great book, and would certainly recommend it!

  ★★★ 3.0

  This seems to be an incredibly basic school plus cultivation novel.
  The story so far is moving forward at breakneck speed. The characters have almost no depth to them at all. It depends a lot on clichés so the author doesn't really elaborate on much.
  There's an arrogant prince, a nice prince, a talented one, a noble lady,  etc. Our hero is immediately befriended by a noble and one of the princes, no real idea why.
  The grammar has some mistakes. Tenses shift sometimes, sentences trail off without an end or period. It's not unreadable but it isn't particularly great prose by any means.
  It honestly needs editing and isn't nearly fleshed out enough.

  A local who looks like he was MC Isakai. He was probably reincarnated from another xullian world.
  If you want to read a xullian story you can read it. But you are here to read the story of a person who became isekai, go back.
  MC can even accept the evil that happens to normal ordinary people with a little conversation. According to MC, if rich people were killing poor people senselessly right now, you could convince them with a 1-minute speech "But rich people can do whatever they want".
