  So far, this story is right up there with Beware of Chicken. Excellent quality of writing and well thought out character interactions. I like it a lot. Give it a go at least for a few chapters -- the entertainment value of the alternative viewpoints alone is worth it. (Also, the Cultivation is clearly well thought out with a rational framework, but without being annoying with too many explanations.)

  I came from the author's other story and thought, well, he writes really well, there's no harm in trying. And I loved it !! Give it a try, just the writing style is on another league from standard RR quality.
  I need to write a bit more... Well I hope it goes without saying that we have a good plot, rounded up characters and kind of funny, since the MC doesn't understand xianxa at all.

  We're still in the freethrows of the first 10ish chapter but I'm really looking forward to how Lynn's story will play out. The characters are intriguing and I'm defintely interested in how the world will be fleshed out (hopefully) in the future. Very curious about how this will turn out! Quack!

  Huh . I'm pretty speechless here , this story has all good parts of Isekai and all the good parts of a cultivatetion story . Story also pretty fast pacing wise but not too the point of being unintelligible (which in my opinion is way better than being to slow ) . No noticeable spelling mistakes . Character look interesting so far . I'm definitely going to keep reading .

  A potential new great on Royal Road. The main character is a quirky stereotype of a young, vegan, Californian woman. She's a genius cultivator thanks to her past practice of meditation, but she knows nothing about cultivation or the world in general. She stumbles around in a different culture and reality, but is quick to advancement and power. Its a fun read and I'm looking forward ot more.

  This is a light and fun slice of life cultivation novel. It feels similar to Beware of Chicken or Arrogant Young Master although the MC is not genre savvy or familiar with cultivation at all. The MC also seems to have the ability to scale in this world but no real desire or drive to yet. If you like the genre, you should give this a read. I'll be adding this story to my follow list.

  ★★★ 3.0

  Let me start out by saying that I came into this, due to the title, of thinking this would be of the Ruling Class genre (not noticing it doesn't have the tag).  It has the comedy and strong lead tags.  I assumed it would have pretty quick build up toward the MC being in some sort of leadership role, despite the lack maturity she has as a character.
  From the story description:
  Lynn is nobody special, and yet she awakens to find herself in somebody else's body in a merciless medieval world of martial arts cultivators and superhuman muscle wizards. And, what's more, the quirky meditation technique she's been practicing for years somehow gives her an edge over most of the locals. The only question is... will Lynn survive long enough to take advantage of it?
  The author inserted that bit into the description, and unlike the vast majority of other stories here on RR, that part is a very accurate description to this storyline.  Her meditation from yoga gives her a great edge, but only over the mundane normal non-cultivators that make up the "most of the locals".  She's given strength from the meditation/cultivation, but it doesn't make her a great fighter, and she struggles against other cultivation enhanced individuals.  Despite the bonuses she has, she continues to be chased around by the equivalent to town bullies and for that reason the story has not progressed in any meaningful way, despite being 287 pages in.
  My assumption that this story would have an OP cultivator due to a quirky past life trait (tags: Comedy, Strong Lead) quickly become a leader (Empress in title) led to me reading it while becoming more and more frustrated by the lack of progression.  Had I instead just come in knowing it was a low power/slow progression story with a lot of struggle, I probably would have liked it more.  Instead we have a bit of an airhead character, and a story title mentioning "Empress" when nothing in the story seems to have any indicator that she will become a leader or even t

  There's a lot to like about this story, which is unfortunate, because the MC is not one of those things.
  She is a shallow, immature young woman with zero ability to consider the consequences of her actions ahead of time.
  In fact, if it was possible to have a negative ability to consider consequences ahead of time, she would be the poster child for it.
  Saying she's an airhead is insulting to airheads.
  You get the idea.
  Some of the side characters are genuinely interesting, and the world and idea behind the MCs cultivation are genuinely neat.
  Unfortunately, the MC is kind of important for a story, and she's unbearable to read about.  At least for me.

  ★★★ 2.5

  The story is fairly interesting but you will have to turn off your brain at everyone's thought processes.
  The villains are nothing but cutout baddies that can only think three things that consist of that's pretty, me like pretty, how dare you not bow before me.
  Normally entire towns are exempt from the protagonist and their groupies' stupidity in stories. Unfortunately, these ones are not.
  The townspeople seen to have no problem conducting in shenanigans that will get them violent reprisals from their local tyrants, but it is okay since they seem to not be able to think past the next five minutes.
  Overall the story could be good so long as you can look past that nonsense. I unfortunately have difficulty doing so.

  ★★ 1.5

  Firstly: I'm only 10 chapters in, but thus far this hasn't lived up to a single word of the hype. The world is the same random whorl of names and cities that all blur together, tied together under the generic Empire, with its leader, the Emperor. really creative stuff.
  The cultivation system is the same as every other 'let's justify an op mc!' cultivation story ever devised. Standing in sunlight gets you sun chi, which is against moon chi, but no matter what, you punch harder and that's all that really matters. At leat until the mc gets the "Insert Unique Chi Type Here" which makes them immune to consequences and able to deflect my ability to give a shit!
  The characters are almost all single-note cut-outs. They only have one, or in extremely rare cases, two settings. (A personal aside, the way male characters are handled is extremely dickish. Every one of them has been abusive, savage or perverted/rapey.)
  The reviews agree with me on the 3rd point: The protagonist is just stupid, but her narration is the only thing keeping this from being unreadable, so maybe that balances out.
  Overall, generic world, one-note characters, bargain bin cultivation system, idiotic protagonist. Not a fun time.
