Personally I really like this novel. If you are someone who hates systems, should maybe avoid it? The system touch seems fairly light to me (essentially it just gives perfect, permanent absorption of whatever he trains in at the moment).

The MC is training really hard, he has had some fortunate encounters, but nothing truly cheat until just recently. Though that cheat relies on the cooperation of a new character.

This perfectly scratches a xianxia itch so far (though we are only just now about to get to fighting). The emphasis on... more>> paper folding, painting, and calligraphy gives this a unique feel thus far. <<less
