The Mystifying Diviner

Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes.
Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read.
Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body.
What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western.
This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written.
This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now.

Awesome little gem

This story starts slowly... but not for long !
it seems to start slow for the grand duration of 3 chapters ! yeah .. and then it goes smoothly onto a trotting gait, not too fast, not too packed, but ... things happen !
PewPewCachoo manages to bring a story mixing some interesting genres together and for the moment it holds...
- reincarnated
- system
- xianxia
plus the mix-ups of an of-beat MC, wise due to his real mortal age, a unique profession, a grumpy system aid, a chat-group of commenters that give a larger vision of the global universe : are they "gods ? ultimate MC's ??? "
anyway, the character is charming, engaging, and I'm hooked.
for the moment nothing grimer happened, so it's too early to guess if the tone will be casual, or grimer !
Please applaud the Author !
Well Worth Reading

A great read so far, with interludes (rare so far) similar in style ot Cultivation Chat Group and equaly amusing.
While there isn't much detail on the setting so far there are plenty of hints to the sheer scale of what could be and I hope the author has the oportunity to explore that to some extent.
The characters are fairly well written, though I feel like they could use a little more depth and reactivity. They tend to go with the flow a little easilly at times.
