That sounded pretty cool, right? Well, not to William. He found himself tied up by some sketchy captors who were talking about sacrificing people. Trying to brush it off as a dream didn't exactly work when kids began to be sacrificed before his eyes. Luckily, an old monster conveniently swooped in to save his ass right when it was his turn to die.It was good to be alive, but he now had the problem of being stuck in a cultivation world, and living in one was far different than just reading about it.Oh, and the locals insisted on calling him Wei Liang.Schedule:Updates every 2 days----Will be slow-paced through most of Book 1Very Late Romance.

It's decent, but has lately leaned heavily into the trope where the MC gets pushed from one thing to another all the time without any chance to breathe or utilise things properly.This happened since the start, but lately its become super noticeable and way too common. On a trip to complete a Sect mission he took, he gets randomly sucked into a space vortex and wakes up in a forest/garden pocket Dimension, then fairly quickly after that is forced out into a dessert and now he's managed to find an oasis. He is constantly surrounded by much stronger people who just force decisions on him.His Sect thinks he is some genius talent that van get stronger through fighting, which is technically true since he gets EXP and stat points he can then assign. They are worried that the imperial family will discover him and either poach him or kill him. But instead of putting him in an environment where he can fight to his hearts content or something, they send him back to a city which has a branch of the Imperial family there. And they send him with a senior who has been and is still being courted by the Prince in that area...then they arrange things so that one of the princesses join him on that journey to complete the Sect mission since that will ensure protectors for them, but they don't bother telling MC to hide his talents. Of course this doesn't matter anyway since they all get sucked into the space vortexs when they've barely started the journey and they didn't have any help from these protectors.He can increase stats both from eating special fruits/meals as well as with stat points, but eating them (as well as taking pills) increases his level of impurity which, if it reaches level 2 he gets a debuff which decreases EXP gain by 10% and we are told that if it gets high enough will cut off his path towards the higher realms entirely. Yet he has a medic by his side who seems to be able to fairly easily force these impurities to be cleansed...yet he doesn't take advantage of that when he can. There are other small things that don't really make sense throughout. Like he gets his system in Safe Mode at the start because of soul damage which he needs to reach level 10 to repair, but upon reaching level 10 and unlocking the full system he is told that the tutorial is unavailable after level 5.He can't use features like an Inventory, Mini-Map etc. Because he needs insight into the relevant Daos (like Space for Inventory) which makes sense, yet he can use Observe and Detailed Observe on most people with no issues. Even weirder is that he manages to get an insight into the Dao of Perception, but because of his lacking cultivation the system removes it and then he almost dies from it.Some of the things are thought out well, like the Inventory requiring insight into the Space Dao, as well as trying to explain why these cultivation MCs are typically so nonchalant about killing people, since he is always stressed and angry about being surrounded by stronger people who force decisions onto him which he can't really refuse without risk of being crushed like a bug etc. But the things above kinda make it a bit too annoying for me I think.If you don't mind these things, then give it a try. I am incredibly annoyed by the fact that the main character enhances anything but combat characteristics. Strength, endurance, dexterity seem to be forgotten, or the author deliberately stretches to write more useless chapters. luck and spirit can be increased in the later stages, but in order to remain vulnerable, the character does not increase them. and the system is also ramming. Why doesn't he eat fruits that increase stamina. why wasn't he maxed out at every level? . this infuriates me. If nothing changes, I'll leave this shit Yeah. The story currently is just a series of conflicts the mc barely has time to react and recover from. It degrades the overall world building of the author and it's a damn shame. The novel had promise. #panic# the chapters are doubled here A pretty interesting and promising novel. He transmigrated to a cultivation world with a system Sound promising but who is up for sacrificeYesss Join the ranobe discord link in my profile another good work, mc reincarnates in a world of Cultivation with a system, the secondary characters are "clichés" but each one has interesting and not empty personalities, The plot is relatively slow, the mc only starts farming at chps 35, but it's a great work!Rank B
