I love this series! Like most other funny cultivation titles it's best if you've read some other Wuxia / Xianxia stories before. But unlike a lot of the others where you practically need to be an expert on every plot line and trope out there to get the humor - this should be funny for even relative newcomers.Here instead of super-meta-humor this has more funny moments with the clash between cultivator 'culture' and the modern day along with some pretty great characters. How does one ancient and distinguished master give condolences to another whos pupil was injured in a lightning tribulation? Well a sad face emoji of course! Need to send someone an ancient fighting style? Well strap a USB key to a flying sword obviously!So far the story doesn't have a whole lot of meat to it - but that's part of the charm. Sure there are enemies, adventures, trials and getting stronger - but the MC is mostly just trying to survive them and maybe finish college. No desperate stuggle for revenge, no burning need to become immortal, no heroic battle to save (or conquer) the world. And thank goodness. The author proves he can make something great to read without any of that.Oh - and so far no harem either. The MC likes girls but doesn't need to conquer every one he meets. And so far no ridiculous world-shaking love at first sight. But again, a more 'normal' college love life (dates, crushes, and roomates that brag) is refreshing.As for the MC in general, while generally fairly lucky he isn't super-OP. Again - most normal tropes for why the MC is so special and amazing are thrown out the window. And while the MC is living in two worlds that isn't over used so far. So you won't see the MC whining all the time about how he can't tell the woman he loves about his abilities etc.Starting to see why I like this so much? So if you are tired of the same old thing - give this a try. It starts off a bit slow so give it a bit. You should be hooked well before Venerable White shows up (and Venerable White is well worth the wait).
