Description

A missed opportunity...A second Chance....Justin McClain, a poor web-developer, is killed on the night he means to propose. Instead of dying he finds himself reborn into a child's body in a strange and alien world. Will he repeat his past mistakes or will he use his knowledge and Seize the Sky?This is going to be my attempt at a Wuxia/Xianxia/Cultivation Novel. I've been reading a ton of Chinese web-novels recently and Couldn't resist trying to write my own. This story will contain lots of action and martial arts and will most likely make the MC pretty OP, but that's sorta the point of wuxia novels.This is also going to be focused on pokemon like animals and will be somewhat along the vein of Long Live Summons although less haremy. It will contain mature content although I have no idea how much.Also, this is a secondary project for me. I've already got a novel on here I don't update enough so I'm treating this as a side project. Be prepared for very sporadic updates.

    The whole 'modern day earth guy reincarnates into Xianxia-land' thing is a bit of a cliche, but it's done really well here. The characters interesting, the setting is interesting, and the summon-focused pokemon-esque cultivation system is really cool. There are a few minor mispellings and misused words that a good proof-reader could have sorted out, but considering it's a free web-novel, and especially considering the genre, the prose is perfectly servicable.

    Flying Dutchman created a world I wanted to explore.
    If he ever decides to come back to this or any of his other works I'll be ecstatic.

    This. Is. Good. High quality work with quite good grammar.  I could not stop reading until I have read all chapters in one sitting and they are of decent lenght. If only more stories were of this quality I think I would have to quit reading as I would have no time for normal life. I enjoy it and expect a lot from this. Hype

    To be honest, I normally expect someone with preteen mindset bother with Wuxia at best. It's not that I dislike genre, don't misunderstand. This fiction is a perfect example of what Wuxia could become, should it be written by a mature person, that takes his work seriously. Wish I could find such fictions more often.

    If you're sick of the typical shit of most of the wuxia stories on this site, this is for you.  Written by the same author of "Kill 10 Rats," this story has a similarly high writing quality, an interesting take on a known setting, and great characterizations.

    Definitely recommended to people who like Xianxia and LLS, without the annoying harem and pervert aspects.

    I love the story the MC is not some Mary Sue super OP maga mage-warrior.  As there is no smutt that most seen to want to add to boost the reader count.  I feel that they story has to be spot on and sharp to old the readers, and it is.
    The world is well thought out and the village is well placed in safety with the river to keep most of the beasts away. MC is growing slowly and his trials are getting harder.
    The only problem that I have with the writing is the word choice.  Some night be to add color.  Small not smell, pen not pin, are two of the big ones.  Getting some one too proof read before posting each chapter will vastly improve the overall rating that this story should get.  As I have to remove a star for grammar.
    Over all I feel you have a gem here and hope you keep writing.  I for one will keep reading to see how far you will take this and were it ends
