A solid read, but incredibly annoying. Word padding is just purposely insulting at this point.This novel did almost everything right when it comes to it's premise.An immortal doing cultivation just not to be killed or die due to stupid reasons. MC has a whole concept and philosophy of life based on that. Anyway, characters are done nicely, MC is beyond perfect for what the premise says (he's the definition of caution), the world building is a continuous process. The development and where the story is going is interesting.I can say almost everything is as it should be.HOWEVER, THE WORD PADDING!!! I don't know how this novel even was approved and published and translated to English. The word padding and repeating is so annoying. Pick any random chapter, and you'll see the same idea repeated a dozen times. Author says progress of the novel is slow and developments take their time, but it's actually just a lot of useless unnecessary expanding and repeating the same exact thing a million times. If you ignore all the word padding and repeats, then the development is actually decent and even fast. The word padding made it just awful. I haven't read something that does worse word padding than this in a long time.
