    This story is very clearly a long running project and the author's skill at writing improves as the story goes along, although I thoroughly enjoyed the early portions of the story. The most unique aspect of this story is the very fast pacing, there is very little suspense and events are not dragged out unlike most cultivation stories. I whole heartedly recommend this to anyone looking for a casual reading experience and a barrel of laughs. I love this story and hope the author continues writing it.

    Cultivation is hard. Our first cultivator has a humble beginning and little training, but he doesn't let that discourage him. Faced with a seemingly impossible task Pef struggles and perseveres where you, dear reader, would surrender and fail.  It is a delight and honor to follow Pef on his journey as he writes about a young boy in Xanxia.  A Xanxia tale of epic proportions that matches that of Randidly Ghosthound. But none of it would be complete without the third and final cultivator. You, dear reader. The journey for you is no less challenging for cultivating is hard! Pef started as a very rough writer.  He ascends into quite the talent but cultivating is not just hard, it is also long.  Reader! Cultivate your patience and your stubbornness! Grow as Pef has! Succeed and you will be rewarded for it. Fail and, well, it won't be your last failure will it?

    This story is really quite amazing. Lots of interesting ideas and well written. There are some rough areas here and there, but if you can look past minor editing issues and get deeper into the story things get easier to understand and it really takes off. I am a huge fan of the legion cultivation model which considers the mental and emotional wellbeing of their practitioner. When you think about immortality, going nuts seems like the most likely outcome without a practice that helped you numb certain thoughts and emphasized building connections with a loved one (or twelve). That and the DAO of cooking and winemaking... just awesome :) One of the best stories I've read on RR.

    Good job with this , easy to read story , interesting perspective , and relatively comfortable world building .
    Nice ideas too like introducing nice people among a xianxia like world , while the overall setting is more universal rather than xianxia limited , good luck with writing

    The storyline itself isn't unique, but the author injetcs some humour and keeps it factpaced enough for it not to matter that much. The grammar itself is fine, with only occasional errors, but the biggest problem of the novel in my eyes is the style. It lacks flow and the formatting doesn't help. There is nothing that couldn't be improved by some editing.
    The world building is the usual wuxia style, with cultivation levels and the usual accoutrements, mixed with hints of scifi.
    Like I said in the title, it isn't polished, but the core is good.

    This a 'feels good' story, where everything seems to work out for the character eventually. The setting is quite unique, at least for me. I suppose the main problem of the story is choppy storytelling, where events seem to jump at a random, hectic pace, especially in the beginning. That being said, the quality only improves with time and by what is currently the latest chapter (blind truth) the story is top quality work. Would deserve 5/5 if the author ever decides to comb through the old chapters.

    Disclaimer: contents are based on first few chapters. In essence the most important ones as they set the tone and quality a new reader can expect. Take with a grain of salt if latter part of the story drastically changed in writing style.
    Although amusing here and there, the first few chapters feel extremely bland once you get past the surface. It's as if I'm reading a travel journal written in first person, but the traveller couldn't be arsed to make a full journal or include his personal opinions.
    The story starts alright, then some time skippy skips because nothing changes, and then he finds the glove his dad left him. No period of wondering, not even a 'what the donkey Dorking shitnuggles is this?'-moment. Nope. He just puts it on, asks a question or two and proceeds to act as if he lived his previous life surrounded by tech like that.
    In a way it feels as if you're condensing 5 chapters into 1 or 2, at the cost of pacing and character development. The mother had some character, and could very well be developed over ti-aaaaaand she's dead. The boy feels like he has a personality developed that the reader is supposed to know and love already. However, he doesn't have that. He's effectively about as shallow as the story is rushed.
