resurrection mechanic

eating poison and suiciding into demon beasts to kill them, refining sh*t to make higher quality shit, improving cultivation techniques by making them more specialized, etc

Like refining sh*t to a higher quality

Where do I even begin? Why do they use, Hold the grass so much?? I have read many, many books, online and otherwise but never has a clichè cookie cutter novel made me rage scream so hard.

That phrase is used everywhere.

Hold the grass. So handsome.

Hold the grass. You can do this?

Hold the grass. You can't?

Hold the grass. Brother Yiming is so handsome.

Hold the grass. I'm being blown away. Hold the grass. I can't hold on.

Etc. And yes, sometimes it gets used twice in the same sentence.

They also call the sect leader 'brother', a term used to denote closeness and familiarity so quickly is one of the things that makes me question the MC's thought process since, while this may be a game for them, it's real life for him. So for his disciples to go from sect leader or master to brother would've been insulting, if not embarrassing. (Although this is a novel so ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ who cares I guess)

The other is the fact that he chooses a literal wasteland to establish his sect (since he says he has the system and all he needs is time), ok, that part is fine. But he's shocked when the system (scans 1 km and finds nothing i.e no people to take on as disciples so it) uses the MC as a bridge to open an interdimensional connection (hence making them players).

I mean, his system was unlocked, he just had to establish a sect to use it's sign in and other functions. And you're telling me he asked no questions? Had no hints? Didn't get any info out of the system other than establish a sect? I call bull.

He just decided that, Hey I'm gonna get unconditional support from the system (not verified) lets choose a barren land, teeming with monsters wayyyyy out of my league?

The author could've made this story a lot better, and covered tons of plot holes, by making the MC and the system work together to grow. The MC using the system to make his sect and by association, himself more powerful and the system using the MC to get upgraded. (After all, why would a system that can make literal bodies over and over again with no need of resources for upkeep or production of the bodies and their cultivation not be able to upgrade/level itself if not for a limiter placed on it?)

By making the system actively subvert it's fundamental ruling to give the MC key info indirectly, like letting him know of the maximum distance that needs to be 'empty' so as to be 'forced' to 'open a new path' would've been awesome to see.

Or at least encouraging the MC to ask questions, to seek new information through it would've been nice. Because sometimes the MC feels too passive.

The system could've totally, offhandedly told him if, for some reason, he doesn't sign in for a couple of days, he'd get compensated with a compounded reward.

This, in my opinion, would've been better than him forgetting to sign in for 3 days then going, Oh, I forgot. Good thing those sign ins are saved and I can be use 'em at any time, and then immediately getting the OP Emperor's cultivation technique or the use destiny to level up (been a while since I read, forgot the names).

It could've cut random dues ex machina so much and given the author some much needed maneuverability and the system some much needed depth about the system and it's origin.

has the system summon a group of people to his cultivation world as 'players' and they do quests for him and regard him as npc
