I think I read same kind of novel but I forgot the name! ?The content was more or less same + adult content. I dropped the novel later though..
Kinda disappointing. Mc is a beta and underwhelming, story is plain confusing. Feel no enjoyment from this . Shame
The Story has a very unique structure.more ever it's feels realistic, the beginning gave the vibe of life realistic experience. The Author did great, giving the back a natural flow understanding to the reader. I can't wait to read more chapters
Does anyone know how else to tell webnovel to start this translation again aside from powerstones?? I think i stand with many readers here when i say that this novel Is amazing! Pls vote people so we can tell webnovel to start translating!
Hello folks. Time for more Horror, i suppose? Now that House of Horrors is ending, Qidian has offered me to pick up this project. However, with the epidemic looming (incidentally also the theme of this book), there won't be much pay. Translation has always been a hobby of mine and granted, i hope it will continue to pay but hard times i suppose. Well, enough about the doom and gloom, although you'll get plenty in this story either way XD In any case, long story short, this story will be picked up and do join us on Discord if you feel like following the story with other readers: https://discord.gg/8fgRmg2And if you are feeling generous, small donations to a fan translator will be much appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/lonelytree
This story has interesting concepts but, the grammar is really atrocious. There are other stories on this site that are even worse then this, however, I'm not going to be nice because of this. I understand that some people keep saying in the comments that the writing quality gets better at ch 18 or around ch 32. In the end I could not drag my self across the floor to reach such chapters.One of the main points I don't understand about the author is why if he has an editor already, just ask him to redo all your previous chapters. The author is dragging away potential readers due to not editing his starting chapters.Point 2. I feel like I'm reading a children's book due to all the sound effects. These sound effects take away from a story unless a child is reading them because most children don't know what most stuff sound like. That is why most children's books have the cow goes "moo" or the sheep goes "baa". It gives kids a 3 in 1 training. Training their vocals, reading comprehension and their understanding of what stuff sounds like.Point 2b. As an ***** with the understanding of the English language and sounds. I feel offended when I see a written sound effect. I know what a sword sound makes when it hits something with different densities. It just irks me because its like the author is saying "This is what it sound like to me and you should believe me." No... I don't believe sirens go "siren...siren" or swords go "slice" like their talking. Even the sound effects are off putting.Point 3: The cultivation is strange. I understand that being Original in concept is what authors should do. However, the cultivation with the steam punk vib (engine) and cultivation just don't mix well. I like the part about the soul-bonding, but, it could have been better executed.Point 4: The animals are puppets as far as I can tell. The start of the novel it shows the personality of the creatures and that was a good start, however, right as the soul binding was completed It was like the creatures them selves don't have their own thoughts anymore. It is more along the line as the people turn them into puppets then project their emotions into their soul-bonded puppet to be more like the host.Point 5: The MC does not have a solid goal. Yes, he wants to be in that championship thing but that does not make him insane about doing the most efficient cultivation training which most people fail at. The reason I do not believe this is due to the fact he lived a very normal life with his family. No sane person would tarnish such a thing. If the story showed he had a desire to be recognized due to certain bad pasts then I would believe it more.There are other points I could point out. But I don't know if the author can even read English so adding anymore would just be a waste of time for me and the reader of this wall of text.
love this version
There's something deeply symbolic about where this entire disaster takes place. A wheat stack. Harvested wheat. The product of a season's labor, piled high, golden and dry — and right in the middle of it, secrets burning. Wheat is supposed to represent sustenance, community, the fruits of shared work. The threshing ground is where the village comes together to process what they've grown. But instead of community, we get betrayal. Instead of nourishment, we get scandal. The wheat stack becomes this perfect metaphor for everything that looks wholesome on the outside but hides rot within. And Qingyan, the honest one, the one who actually follows the rules, is the one who gets burned. Then there's the whole theme of voices. Qingyan hears Chen Xiaomeng's thoughts — her true, unfiltered self — while the village only hears the performance. This is the central tension of the story: what you see versus what is real. The villagers see a scandalous affair. Qingyan sees a calculated scheme. The mother sees a ruined daughter, then a successful match. Everyone sees what they want to see. And Jiang Decheng's manipulation of language is perhaps the most powerful symbol of all. He takes a shameful act and renames it "young people losing control." He takes disgrace and calls it a wedding. In a society where reputation is survival, the ability to control the narrative IS power. Qingyan's real rebellion isn't just rejecting Runsheng — it's refusing to let anyone define what happened to her. "Anything that can be stolen so easily was never worth holding onto." This isn't just about a man. It's about everything the village told her she should value — her reputation, her compliance, her patience. She's discarding all of it.
There's a line in Chapter 1 that hit me like a truck: "As for the noble title? In Pei Shaohuai's eyes, it was already hollow." This is the thesis statement of the entire novel, isn't it? The Pei family has a title—Earl of Jingchuan—but it's empty. They have the appearance of nobility without the substance. Grandmother Pei can complain about servants and marriage prospects, but she can't actually secure a good match for her granddaughter because the family's wealth and influence have declined. The rosewood cradle is another symbol I can't stop thinking about. Passed down through generations, polished smooth, dignified. It represents the family's history, their legacy, the weight of expectation. And inside it lies the child who is supposed to either uphold that legacy or destroy it. In the original story, Pei Shaohuai destroys it. But now there's an adult mind in that body, and the question becomes: can he change the trajectory? The tiger-head sachet hanging above the cradle is interesting too. Tigers are symbols of power, of protection, of ferocity. But this is a sachet—a small, decorative item. It's the tiger as ornament, not as living creature. Just like the Pei family's nobility is now decorative rather than functional. And then there's the urine scene. A baby peeing on his grandfather as an act of rebellion. It's funny, yes, but it's also symbolic. The eldest grandson, the heir, the future of the family—asserting his autonomy in the only way he can. He can't speak, he can't act, but he can make his grandfather wet. It's a tiny act of defiance that says: I am not just a vessel for your expectations. The novel is really about what happens when legacy becomes a burden, and whether a person can escape the story they were born into.
nooo I want them to love each other and have a baby or two
