Odd but sensible title with solid story telling

Positive: The grammar and spelling seem solid.  Interesting MC with plenty of room to grow.  No OP MC here (yet).  Its early but i'm enjoying  this twist on cultivation stories.

Negative:  The MC has the soul of an Old man (Gramps). You'd think he would be grumpier.

don't get put off by the early chapter,it worth it

this is the most realistic and well done cultivate novel I ever read here, and at first, it looks very grim dark and thing not going well for the mc at all, but more later it becomes more and more better, especially after chapter 34 that everything become more positive now, if you worry about the nearly slave part, just try read to chapter , I think around 1.30 

I usually don't like cultivate novel but this is a exception 

 

edit at 19/6/2018: this story is really thought out and doesn’t shy away from small technical explanations of reincarnation and spirit energy that other authors are either to lazy or afraid of writing about. Furthermore, not only is the story intriguing the fighting is engaging and well fleshed out. It’s also nice not to hear every enemy ever say the same exact thing billions of times. I can’t speak for others but all of these things together make this story better than a large portion of the professionally written ones which fall into the same tropes with predictable plots and bland writing

(sorry for copy this new comment at that site from you, 'Broski', but this sum up pretty good and will help other reader have beter idea for this novel)

 

edit at 7/7/2018:

(have to borrow other comments, but the amount of idiot is so god damn high and their comment right to the point)

I have no idea why these people are having a fit over this chapter 1.4 , this is normal tame even compared to other things in the genre. Even the supposed good guy main characters do some messed up stuff on their cultivation paths, including destroying others souls, wiping out sects even women and children but of course this is all completely justified and they can do no wrong. But this is just pure survival

Modern Perspective

I liked this story. 

I liked the start premise: a world lost soul of a modern man trying to make do in a very harsh and terrifying world of super beings. 

If you like the idea of trying to use modern thinking to overcome deep ancient and tyrannical thinking...here's a story for you. 

In some ways it reminds me of Release That Witch and the another RRL : The Dao of Magic

In the end, the author is trying to  tell the story of how a modern 21st thinking person will try to change an ancient system of thought and lifestyle that strangles mortal beings. 

Come with me on this voyage of discovery!!

Writing with effort

story I'd still semi young, but the author is putting out 2 chapters a day on average, with apparent forethought as to where the story is going. I have not had a single 'cringe' moment while reading such as ' mc finds the book he needs and uses it. In the same chapter. To solver some problem'

 

I recommend that the story so far is worth reading and hope it continues forth.

a refreshing take on an old man reincarnation tale

The first chapter hooked me and refused to let me go! the MC is realistic and clever with a snarky "Im over this shit, now get off my lawn or lose teeth" type of attitude. Great job!

why go to Webnovel?

All is said,

 

I'm sad it went to webnovel.

I had a great time seeing that earthling trying to conquer his path of survival adapting earth technology to cultivation techniques and civilization !

First off, the chapters I read were engaging and interesting to read.

I had a major problem with the character of the MC in ch. 1.4 The MC does something I and from what I see from the comments, others see as evil.  The story does not treat the act as evil.

Spoiler: Spoiler

 The style is entertaining along with the world but I could not ignore this choice the MC made as I tried to read through the next few chapters.
