While Immortal Taoist doesn't have the most original story concept being about a girl getting a system in a cultivation world it still does a great job entertaining and telling the story of a girl with an overpowered system getting stronger and fighting enemies with powerful characters plotting in the background.
The style is good. Nothing out of this world but it works. 4/5
The story is fun and the machinations going on in the background are interesting. Chapters are kind of short so I recommend letting them pile up before reading. 4/5
I barely noticed any grammar mistakes which is good. 5/5
The mc is alright I like her but she doesn't have that much personality. Although I'm definitely more interested in her than some of the other characters we get occasional povs of and some are very clearly cliches. 3,5/5
Immortal Taoists shows that even if a story idea may not be the most original or new it doesn't stop that story from being fun and entertaining. If you like op system or op protagonist cultivation stories I'd definitely recommend it.
The pacing is a tad slow too. 70 chapters in and mc is still only at the second realm. While it's up to the author to decide the pace and perhaps this is a lengthy story I just worry that the author may need to write hundreds of chapters to actually reach a conclusion and writing a story for so long may become less interesting over time.

As of Ch 88
Style: the style is straight forward, the descriptions enough, plus I don't mind the change in perspectives to various characters throughout the story however I can see that it could discourage or confuse people.
Story: the pace is great, the perspectives from various characters help facilitate the MC story. Personally I'd like to see more of the MCs growth and perspective. I like that the system is lighter than other systems in other novels. Not sure how I feel about the antagonist getting away with destroying a high level sect. I guess I'm a little bias where I hate villains getting away, and or didn't suffer much of a loss. I just hope things don't drag out and that the MC can somehow get him or at least hurt him bad soon.
Grammar: the grammar could use a bit of work here and there, but its still readable. In fact, I feel the author is improving if I compare Ch 1 to Ch 88 so that's great. There are also some minor spelling mistakes.
Character: I like that the MC is trying to get strong but I wish that we had more face time with her. I like how the system is less imposing so it feels like her achievements are more her own, however, the gacha ruins it a bit. Also feel like the MC could be a bit smarter about her saftey, progress, and weaknesses as she tries to attain strength but maybe it'll happen in the next few chapters. I'm okay if she becomes OP but I just hope she's smart with her abilities and not too rigid.

The concept was good, but it was done badly.
The grammar is alright, though the author forgets to make the i capital.
The MC is displaying OPness within the first two chapters, and so far it seems like the usual mary sue MC with special powers and a cheat. During the start, the MC is described as 'exuding a desolate aura', and in the next few lines the MC's thoughts are happy and excited. The lines contradict each other.
It feels like the author's using the usual lines to describe female MCs in cultivation novels such as 'her elegent and dignified air' or something constantly, while trying to also make the MC an excited girl who got transmigrated into the world of cultivation. It's just sorta jarring for me.
I'm three chapters in and so far this seems to be your average cultivation novel complete with a Mary Sue MC with fast cultivation. How the MC has come to terms with her transmigration has been glossed over, and the characters are just bland and forgetable.
This may improve later on, but the MC just feels 2D and a cardboard cutout of other mary sue cultivation MCs.

i like the concept and the system but it is done seriously wrong, first the sect is unrealistic it gives too much freedom not even a lesson to help, second who tries to fight beasts immediately didn't they tell her not to be conceited,she tried to fight without learning a single technique. Third she cultivates too fast . Also i would like it more if the system is more of a support type for example to only provide cultivation techniques in her mind not even a hard copy that she will have to comprehend herself. it could also be a map in places she has already been. The novel is all over the place I would strongly suggest to rewrite the novel from the start there should more balance between the elements you have chosen (system, cultivation in a sect, strong talent, trying to lay low and daughter of family of cultivators) . Also it doesn't make sense that her father didn't provide her with more information.

If you haven't unlocked the "web-novel translation" skill I wouldn't bother with this one. Leaving aside all the spelling and grammar errors unless you have this skill you'll struggle. Luckily I possess this skill at a sufficient level that my mind immediately replaces erroneously placed words with what was actually meant.
Even with that heaven-defying skill, I was unable to get past how poorly put together this story is. Yes, the MC becomes OP very quickly and for no real reason that I can see, no fortuitous encounters, no god-given talents just wham bam thank you "Shazzam"! I can accept this as it's fairly standard for a lot of web novels but what I can't stand is the sudden plot shifts that are not explained and make poor reading as is. "Bam", "Pow", "Pop" etc etc should've been left to Adam West as well. The constant POV changes are frustrating and there are lots of them. I haven't counted but as of this chapter, there have been somewhere around 20 characters that have been the focus. There's a strange tournament plus any number of other oddities some mentioned in other reviews.
