It's quite a generic setup, true, and there are likely many similar stories (though I can't find any), but it scratches a certain itch perfectly.
The title sums it up beautifully: she needs to elevate her family to the pinnacle of their world. The system isn’t overpowered to the point of absurdity; instead, it transforms the actions she would take anyway into objectives, making the process more gamelike.
Two aspects of the series particularly interest me: the protagonist and the series' deep dive into the early stages of cultivation. What I appreciate about the protagonist is that she never becomes annoying. Her actions are always well-thought-out and make sense both logically and from a character perspective. As the story progresses, she develops a whimsical and mischievous side, which sets her apart from the typical cookie-cutter protagonists. She’s genuinely enjoyable to follow.
What I find most intriguing, however, is the series' lack of urgency in rushing characters to the highest levels of cultivation. There’s no soul-changing or other rapid advancement within a few chapters. Everyone is on their own journey, and the process of cultivation unfolds naturally—some progress faster, others slower, but no one completes a thousand-year process in a few months. The story doesn’t gloss over these details or skip ahead arbitrarily. Instead, it focuses on various aspects of improving the entire family’s level. At my current point in the story, characters are advancing, but no one has made a significant leap in cultivation except for the absolute beginners. This approach keeps the story engaging and varied, avoiding the monotony of "ten years passed, now I’m at this stage, and another hundred years later..."
I give it 5 stars mainly because I’ve been searching for a series with these elements, and this one fits my personal tastes perfectly. However, I would still recommend it to others regardless.
It depends I get a lotm feel from I’ll surpass the mc in the way it’s written, but kill the sun is very unique and the mc is like f*ck*ng insane.
