So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Community Rating
Description
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled.
A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world,Wen QuTechnologies,whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family.
(For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. )
My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story!
I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go.
I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know!
(Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)

- Arashi ZarosRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0your story are very interesting, and since there are not much of chapter right now, so I can only give this short review (add some detail that actually from some comment, so at least to give you better idea of this novel)
for the story: instead of usual typical xianxia novel with OP mc thing, the author of this story breaks every formula of "doing cultivation novels 101".
The rules of this type of narrative says that the MC must be strong otherwise. How he would overcome the ultra blaster cultivator of the Sacred family that are seeking vengeance because the MC had offended their young master?
But here we are with a quite utilitarian, smart but cripple MC that can't cultivate (of course with his silly moment, and a bit of a asshole, but a good one and not the "your young master have offense me, so I will kill all the people in that clan"), and this is what make your story so exciting. Then I believe that the MC will pick a mix of economic power, science and "magic" to gather influence. And this world is very backward with science, value face to the absurd lv like another typical xianxia world, so te mc have to find a way to survive while still spreading his influence and make new tech and base building here, so anyone like tech and city/organization building, this is for you
the character so far are quite decent, not so great, but not bad either (at least so far with the mc and his "minion"), expect every typical xianxia tropes here
grammar is readable, but sometime there are error/bad structure that hard to read, at least the author are improving quite fast now
the style is the most weak part of this, especially in first and third POV here, where he tend to mixed a bit, but since he is quite new and do listen to feedback, this can be solved soon after more than 40 or 50 chapter here
since there are not much chapter, this review would be changed in some part (and 5 start for motivate the new author, but the other start, it a honest one so at least he know where to l - CalaventeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I came for the comedy... but I stayed for the brightness of the characters.
I stayed for the cleverness of the MC that compensates for his disabilities.
I was hooked. - DarkAetherRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I decided to pick this series up because I thought it would be cool to see a wuxia series without the op gramps, or the system, or even the heavenly body......... My verdict is that it's TOTALLY worth it plus as the title say's the story is freaking hilarious (most notably around chapter 8 & 9, those poor poor bandits)
