One of the greatest disappointments I've ever read. It's a full-on self insert power fantasy with no unique aspects. The MC is boring and all he does is drink. The author seems to have a rule where they can't have the MC interact with another human without them mentioning how handsome he is and how he has the air of an immortal. The story seemed to me like it was going to be a commentary on cultivation stories, but he ends up falling into generic cultivation cliches (arrogant young masters, face slapping, every woman falls for him, etc.) and even has a little "loli" spiritual herb (only a pedophile refers to ACTUAL CHILDREN as lolis, by the way. Even calling an old woman that looks young a loli is pushing it, but the spiritual herb is literally a child.) The story is non existent - the MC just sits there an drinks and only does anything (by anything, I mean waves his hand and kills everybody instantly) when somebody annoys him. The characters are annoying -. The sect master in particular is really annoying all the time and has to be constantly bailed out by the MC when he does something stupid. 2 stars for world building, since we at least get a general layout of the novel by about chapter 95. The only saving grace of the story is that the grammar is top quality, and the author is probably a native English speaker with how few grammatical mistakes I ever spotted. Past chapter 40, I was already kind of on the edge the whole time I was reading, but I had to stop reading the moment he gets a palm-sized child companion that he refers to as a loli. rant over.
