Description

One moment he’s dying in a warzone — next, he’s naked on a moon full of real cultivators. Jake Sullivan just woke up in the wrong body, on a moon called Verdis, inside a cultivation academy where failure means getting culled back to Earth to live as a powerless mortal—and probably die uselessly in the upcoming alien invasion. His memories are mostly gone, but his spirit’s intact. His classmates? Rich kids with qi crystals and family techniques. The school? Doesn’t give a damn. Let the strong survive. With enemy agents already on campus, Jake will need to out-cultivate, outfight, and outsmart everyone around him. He has only one year to become a real cultivator. No dying this time! Dark humor. Sharp dialogue. Flower picking, teeth flying. A fresh blend of sci-fi, xianxia, and LitRPG.

I’m really enjoying how easy this is to read. To moves fast and smooth through scenes. Characters feel real and personable. The story has plenty of fresh feelings. The story is a little bit self aware especially in the beginning, and I read plenty of unhappy comments about it, but I’ve seen plenty of those I’ve read xianxia comments in other stories and they got less comments. This story is a little more raw but very easy to read and moves fast even if the progression still feels measured.

Im liking the pacing and detail so far, with just enough si-fi to make it more interesting than your average cultivation story. The main character has plenty of space to be fleshed out over the story without being one dimendional, which is a hard balance to walk. Please keep it up!

For me this story has been fast-paced, good tone, and kept me hooked. The main character seems to have the luck of the gods. But I have enjoyed The progress nonetheless. I also like the side characters but not much details on them or the world around him. But why would he be worried about that when he is so focused on cultivation!

As the title of my review suggests. I think this novel is a breath of fresh air for the very used cultivation-Xianxia genre.It takes the basic template of cultivation and its powers system and injects it with a healthy dose of Halo like Sci-fi. Also making things like spiritual roots and techniques a little less esoteric and more tangible - Something expected of a futuristic society - which is refreshing even if I personally don’t dislike and quite enjoy the esoteric philosophic powers on some cultivation stories.The tension can be felt in an engaging not overwhelming way. Unlike many cultivation novels which are either death serious or a complete joke-parody, or eventually devolve into predictable cliches.The setting is also different, set on an alternate version of earth where cultivation has existed and progressed alongside technology. But not so Alien it can’t be understood quickly by the readers, which gives us the lector that oomph it needs.There is humor and strive, and protagonist stuff but it also maintains itself quite realistic. I mean, it doesn’t devolve into aI got a cheat/golden finger/ inheritance and I am instantly the best because of that and the Author will use it as a Deux Ex Machina until it tires out.- That is good the first time you read it, but everyone does it and you just get tired of seeing bad executions of the same thing. - This novel manages to give reasonable protagonism while adding reasonable challenge without making him the Doormat Underdog MC. (I add reasonable because I readCalculating Cultivationand Oh shit)The characters are good, they don’t feel one dimensional and it avoids most overused tropes. Even the ‘young master’ in turn isn’t a one neuronal character! It feels like a person! Can you believe it?In the technical matter, I haven’t seen a noticeable grammar error, and the reading feels smooth and easy. You don’t struggle going up and down to see if someone was mentioned before or not, and you understand everything it’s being

I really enjoyed your story so far and I do believe I will continue to enjoy it as you write more. I really like the idea of this word it’s like sci-fi cultivation maybe even a little bit of magic in the future but I also like that he’s not overpowered and that he’s like hardly has any of his memories about who he really is about who really makes him up. He’s getting like these flashbacks guiding him ever so slightly. Keep up the good work.

I wasn't sure about this story at first. The generic title threw me off and the into to the character was remarkably short. But once this story starts it just doesn't stop. There are real stakes that keep the character motivated and the glimpses of the world we see make me interested to learn more.

Cool and interesting new plot concept for me. No dragged on fights or super big power ups for no reason. The characters are “human” with actual dialogue and realistic reactions to events. Love the back and forth quick dialogues alot.The cultivation side of it is very unique in the way that it runs with a system instead of just feeling based cultivation, not just for the MC but EVERYONE in the world.

I’m writing this review having just finished chapter 41. I’ve really been enjoying the world building so far! The mix of sci-fi and Xianxia in this story is creative and has been logically consistent up to this point. I am also looking forward to seeing where the building demon infiltration plot is going.

Grammar is pretty good, nothing that distracted me from reading the story.The character is likeable and his motivation is relatable. For now it’s still pretty barebones, as we are at the start of the story of what is looking like a pretty long narrative.Barebones means that he’s focused on survival and growth, but it will be interesting to see how he grows his friendships, the relationship with his Mentor and Master / Boss and a possible Romance at „Work“. And not to forget how he will be changed by all of that.Style & Story:It‘s unusual to mix Sci-Fi and Xanxia, but I think the author did it well in this case. We didn’t see that much advanced technology, yet, difficult to speak about it, without spoilering.The society isn’t that much more advanced than ours, maybe a century in the future with moon colonies and cultivation. They are on the verge of a recurring alien invasion though it’s more like what the Vikings did to England at the start, than a landgrab like the Roman Empire.Entrance our hero, thrown from one war into the next. What I really like in this case is that this first part isn’t only the typical training montage, but also has a touch of secret agent cat and mouse game.What will be interesting for me to see, is how the different stages of cultivation and the personal affinity spin of the author, will be integrated and play together. I hope for some interesting elemental techniques for the MC, but we’ll see.I gave only 4 Stars for Style, because I think the different melee affinities overcomplicate things and could be shrunk down to body cultivation and elemental or soul cultivation, like in a more traditional Xanxia.Overall are my thoughts that this story has potential. It’s also currently fast growing, though i do hope the author will pace himself.
