The first twenty chapters were rough and hard to follow. There are a lot of terms and concepts that are a bit different from other cultivation novels and the whole 'editing skills parts' are jarring. The story picks up a lot as it goes on and now by chapter 40 I'm completely hooked. All the earlier issues are gone and the author/translator seemed to really find their 'voice'. If you like slice of life, weak to strong, slower growth, secret identities, etc... Then this novel is right up your alley.
