Why did they sanction another cliched novel to be translated? I know cliches can't be avoided but it can be covered up with better writing but this novel is one of those which has a stale plot and cardboard characters, I'm sure of it after reading the raws.... Who decides on the novels to be translated? Don't they have better taste? There are clearly better novels out there but why sanction this novel containing recycled plot. Guys CN readers have rejected this novel! Do you know how? Look at the no of chapters, its close to 3000 chapters but look at the no of ratings, its only 47. Compare the no of views with recommendations, its 3.6 million views against 60 thousand recommendations. It clearly suggests that readers only bothered to check this novel out when they didn't have anything better to read and they didn't even bother to recommend it to others or even rate the novel for that matter. If you like transmigration CN fantasy novels with a stale plot and cardboard characterizations, then this novel is certainly for you!
CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE READING!!
Translation quality for the first 778 chapters is a 3 out of 5. It's good enough but can be hard to understand at points. After 778, 0 out of 5, awful. It's incredible to me that a large company like QI would publish a translation that is essentially a slightly cleaned up machine translation. Names of moves, places, and people suddenly change. That combined with the overall awful translation makes one wonder if they are even reading the same novel.
STAY AWAY unless and until the translation is fixed; otherwise, it's not worth it even when considering the quality of the story.
Its Good, But not as i expected, Author End it Early without letting us see the fight against extraterrestrial only he show how it descended, Even Not Complete Descend only saying Human We Descend Ended, Everything is good But not as you expected Like its summary its all fake, It End Fast And His territory id only span of a small valley and flatten mountain he didnt even let us see the late game only early stage, He keep saying late stage, when the extraterrestrial invaded his force is still weak, suck suck. World character updating translation all is fine but story is extremely disappointing.
I like this novel and I just loved it! No words, just applause
This is probably one of the harder reviews I've written. To give away the ending, Spirit Immortal comes in the the low B/high C range for me, but I'm pretty brutal with my reviews so that's actually a pretty high score for me. The difficulty comes in that the way I would score the later chapters are vastly different from how I would rate the early chapters. If I was to break it down by volumes the first two volumes score in the D range, volumes three and four are B's while volumes five and six both rate a solid A.
Spirit Immortal is honestly a fairly sweeping tale set with a cultivation backdrop. I phrase it like that specifically because even though the MC is always working towards a higher cultivation, it isn't the cultivation as his goal it is instead a tool he uses to measure himself by.
The main flaw is that Spirit Immortal is a Character Driven novel where the main character doesn't start with a clear goal. He goes as far to describe himself as a leaf carried by whichever way the water flows. This isn't bad but it's much harder to write in the early chapters then if you were writing a Story Driven novel, where the plot moves along because of an external factor, i.e. an enemy army is coming or you have to defeat the demon king.
The comments on the early chapters highlight this indirectly, where people attack the author for useless details and pointless arcs. Reading through the whole story, these comments aren't true as you encounter a similar amount of details and varied arcs in other novels, but it's how the readers perceive the story since they are reading it 'in the moment'. What it actually is is a problem in pacing and *******. Since the motivation comes from the character but the character is still discovering the world around them it's hard to generate the appropriate feeling of ******* in order to carry the story. The way you mitigate this is with foreshadowing and switching character viewpoints in order to portray what's happening external to the MC that will move the story forward and create a sense of crisis. The ******st way for me to phrase is it that it's ok if your main character is aimless and doesn't seem to know where he's going, but you can't let your story seem that way.
However this problem disappears to a large degree by the beginning of volume three, the momentum which the story has built starts to sweep up the reader. However this also means you have to read a hundred chapters in to get to juicy parts of the story, which makes it a hard novel for me to recommend. There are a lot of absolutely brilliant characters in this story, but you have to take your time to get to know them and the world they build around themselves.
Since the author has stated that he isn't interested in participating in the premium program on Webnovel I'm actually going against the advice I've given to every other author here: Don't go back and rewrite your story, it *always* turns out *bad*. In this case I would actually encourage the author to hire either a Developmental Editor or a Story Coach to help revise the story and then publish it electronically himself. Alternatively just treat it as your 'first million words' and keep going.
I really like it, its got a lot of action and the characters are cool in their own way. Its very interesting and mysterious. Thanks for updating. I look forward to finding out what happens.
I loved how the book started with chasing thief, the concept was amazing and from the very first line caught my attention, I can't wait to read more chapters, I wish you all the best author, your book is amazing
Worth reading it..The story is like the AMC series "The Walking Dead" which was the most interesting web series. Lead by Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan..
really good exp because of exp it is exp
if you want this novel go **********

Any grammar errors are the fault of Google Translate because I write in my native language (Portuguese) and then translate. Thank you for your understanding.
