i never thought I would come to love this type of MC seriously I was kinda tired of the normal trend in cultivation novels were the main protag challenges people stronger than him but still manages to overpower cos of oh mighty plot but here people challenge the MC and our MC hahaha the only thing in his mind is immortality nothing else, and he never finds trouble and his answer to travelling or opportunities hahahahaha just thinking about it I can't stop laughing. Did I mention his brain hole... more>> haaa

anyways this is a gem <<less

Love the whole concept that the author's going for with the MC meaning to stay low key and actually being able to accomplish it unlike many other novels. Initially found this story after reading "My Senior Brother Is Too Steady", but I honestly believe that the MC here flawlessly accomplished what the MC in that story many times failed at- staying obscure and not needlessly being dragged into conflict that he didn't have 100% certainty of resolving. Really refreshing to read a story where the MC just cultivates and avoids... more>> all troubling situations. <<less

Rating: 9/10

Truly exceptional novel with the most genuine low-profile MC. His top goal is just to live forever so being extremely talented he makes the most rational decision- cultivate in sexlusion as much as you can and don't take risks.

Funny cast and fore thought arcs.

I usually don't like cultivation novels with the 'system' due to the many restriction the MC would face, and pretty much lacks the freedom to make their own choice. However, the 'system' in this novel isn't too overbearing and actually acts as a support for the MC.

MC just wants to cultivate in peace, but trouble always found its way to him lols.

This novel is best read for comedy to past time with and nothing too serious.

Although the MC cultivates all the time, I still find this novel highly enjoyable. I don't know why there are a lot of low reviews I feel like people didn't give it a chance. Anyway its a great story and I'm looking forward to the rest of it

Ass, complete and utter ass.

This novel is like a will eternal but with nothing of what makes a will eternal good.

MC get everything from the system. There's never any conflict because either A- MC evades it or B- MC is so overpowered it's a non issue to solve it.

... more>> There's no romance, no actual fight scenes that last more than a single move, no character development from any of the characters.

It's easily the worst highly rated novel I've ever read in my entire life.

Never trust the reviews of people that are poisoned by terminal brainrot. <<less

It's not the best, but I was able to finish it. There was only one instance of the dreaded Chinese nationalism or whatever it's called. The translation was mostly ok, I've read way worse. The beginning was fun, there were some thought provoking parts scattered throughout. Overall a nice 3.5 for me. I still recommend it.

After chapter 901 this novel lost its meaning. The moment he becomes an ultimate origin fiendcelestial he is practically invincible.

The protagonist transcends chaos and only has one realm left above his own. The dao creators are not interesting, the later 300 chapters are not interesting.

I would say it is a good novel, it has very good arcs, but it seriously lost its excitement after the first celestial dao calamity.

The protagonist's personality changes a lot in later chapters, it's understandable as he becomes invincible, but even so, the story becomes melancholy,... more>> as there seems to be no more meaning.

I would say 7/10. This happens because of the final 300 chapters. Other than that, it's a very good novel, 9/10. <<less

Overall rating: 9/10

... more>> Genre: Cultivation, Transmigrator, System

This mf is the most low-key MC I have ever seen, he doesn't go around courting death, stays inside his cave, and cultivates quietly trying to become immortal and live a peaceful life.

This is the most realistic transmigration I have ever read.

Go on an adventure? F*ck that, too much danger

Tournament arc? F*ck no, too much attention, attracts jealous villains

He is ruthless too, let the villain go? Bahaha hell no, that's a ticking bomb, better to get rid of it immediately

Save his friends? I told them mfs to stay inside instead of going on adventures outside in troublesome periods

He has a Harem and Isn't scared of girls, he also has a lot of kids.

The novel is pretty good, well written, has great translation, great world-building, and good character development as well for the side characters.

Highly recommended. <<less

This was one of my favorites. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was that he kept getting stronger but he won't go out. And he won't stand up for his sect, fellow disciples or Master unless he knew for certain that he was stronger than the adversaries. The selfishness there is understandable, its pretty obvious in today's world. But atleast in a fantasy setting I'd like to see otherwise. Honestly, the MC is super lucky with his charm. If he didn't have it, he'd probably end up worse... more>> than that bald monk disciple of his. Really, I would say that half my adoration for this book is for the female MC's who are much more selfless than the MC. They're amazing, MC didn't deserve them. But I'd still see him marry them because he's the MC, after all. Not like they can marry me, hah! <<less

The story is quite perticular and unique among other xianxia novels I've read as the MC is acting like a scheming hermit: he doesn't go out of his cave/dao field quite often but still schemes against people hatting him. The world building and cultivation system is also quite detailled, but higher levels, about the "dao" are a bit too classical and boring.

The first part of the story up to around chapter 500-600 ish is quite good, and you're never too bored as there are always stuff happening. But after that,... more>> MC takes much longer to increase in levels, thus, there are much more schemes about tones of secondary characters, and so lots of unnecessary fillings, and it becomes really boring to read.

I kind of regret not having the MC spending time doing alchemy or crafting stuff: he spends all his time cultivating and the system rewards him for each checkpoint crossed quite often, but he never tries doing anything else.

It's a novel worth reading if you're looking for a non generic xianxia novel as it has a unique story and even the repetitiveness of schemes/subplots are smooth enough to not feel bored for close to 500 chapters. <<less

I can't really say it's a good novel, but the take on cultivation was interesting.

MC wants to be immortal, yeah, what's new about that? But the way he does it is almost new - cultivate secretly and don't get involved with anything that can kill you, which is downright reasonable.

Although the story does revolve around him, but in reality he barely does anything other than get stronger, and so the story develops like he was watching TV, but also had occasional inputs into the story if he didn't like where... more>> it was going.

It was nice to see him getting more and more involved as he got stronger, and there were less threats that could harm him. Also, some might say he's a hypocrite, but that also felt like development for me, for example: MC was repulsed by strong people scheming against everyone below them, but as he himself got stronger and got different perspective on things, his attitude changed accordingly, and ranged from a necessity to save himself, to a leisure activity because it didn't really matter either way.

The biggest problem for me was just how mediocre everything else was, be it other characters, relationships or worldbuilding. Worldbuilding especially was barely existent, and even the crumbs that were there, got hyped a lot, but revealed way too late to even pay attention to it anymore.

Would give it 3.5, but since I can't, ill go with 4 for just how uniquely bland it is, since it turned cultivation into what feels like watching a mediocre reality tv show but from a perspective of a director who is making it. <<less

Truly top tier, as the title says. MC is truly the essence of low-key. He will never come out of his abode unless his safety is threatened. There is harem, but it's barely noticeable. There's pretty much no young master looking to get faced slapped by the MC. The MC's system is pretty unique. There's almost no plot hole, not any that I've seen. Mysteries are explained and not just left behind bc the author forgot. Overall, I truly recommend this novel if you're tired of reading mainstream Chinese crap.

Imagine every xianxia cliche possible. This novel has them all. But there's a twist.

As the story title says, the main character has a powerful potential and he is aiming to become immortal. That's it. The main character literally cultivates the whole novel. He doesn't have an exciting personality and he is probably autistic, so he almost never leaves his safe base. He doesn't need opportunities, he doesn't have to snatch treasures or compete, he always stays under the radar of powerful enemies until it's too late for them, because very... more>> few know about his existence and because his potential is so good.

Cliches are coming from the side characters. The main character calls them "protagonists" and they do what cliche xianxia protagonists do, face slapping, offending each other, acting arrogant, etc. This novel features a mountain of side characters and factions. The main character often follows their progress, and when not, the story is always told from a different perspective.

There won't be any drama or emotional moments making you cry or empathize. This is not that kind of story. Space and time -wise its scale is humongous, spanning billions of universes and millions of years. There is occasional love and death, but it's unimportant to the main character because he is incredibly narrow-minded and pragmatic. It is worth noting, though, that the main character admits his shortcomings and makes an effort to maintain his humanity by associating himself with the people he cares about, even though he openly rejects any idea of self-sacrifice.

Overall, it's a mundane and surprisingly realistic xianxia story. The key to enjoy it is to embrace the fact that the protagonist acts like a background character for most of the time. 4/5, a well-written novel with minor translation mistakes.

Update: the ending was actually good. Not as the usual abrupt Chinese-style termination with hundreds of loose threads, but a definite and well-explained conclusion that leaves you satisfied. <<less

Well, let's go:

The MC literally almost the entire novel isolated in that mountain of his, when he leaves, he kills anyone with a slap.

For anyone who wants to read a serious novel, I don't recommend this one.

But for me, who am not very picky, it was nice to read, I read more in my moments of boredom.

That's it :)

Good at first but gets very repetitive.

Hide, curse, read some emails about stuff that doesn't matter because the MC isn't going to intervene anyway, rinse and repeat.

I'm taking a break at chapter 656 because the pacing is putting me to sleep. This whole genre was an interesting novelty at first but now it's boring. The MC's just seclude themselves. 9 times out of 10, the interesting stuff happens to someone else off-screen.

This novel is something you read if you want to burn time. It's exactly what the title and synopsis suggests. The MC spends all his time cultivating and rarely leaves his man cave. On the short occasions he does leave to face an enemy, the battle will end in like 5 seconds because the only reason he fights the enemy is because he already knows he one shots them.

The entire novel after a certain point is just a routine of what the MC does:

1. MC is cultivating

2. He reads his... more>> messages seeing all the times his acquaintances get their ass beat

3. An enemy shows up

3a. If MC is stronger then he 1 taps them

3b. If MC is weaker he runs away and hides

4. Repeat

There is a general overarching plot but it doesn't really matter because the even after 500 chapters the MC is still cultivating. I mean I respect the dedication but it really does get old after a while.

Like I enjoyed the beginning because the idea of training until you're overpowered is cool, but when you do it like the MC does, where you are training for actual millions of years and the only respite we get is the occasional fight that ends in less than a chapter you just start getting jaded.

So my rating is that this novel is at best a 4/5 only and if only you're just looking to read about a guy essentially being a spectator to all the chaos that is occurring around him. <<less

I've enjoyed reading the story up to this point but I'm concerned because the last chapter available for me to read (598) ends with a bit of racism. That stereotypical racism that appears in far too many web novels where they regard non-Chinese as being lesser humans.

I really hope it doesn't continue along that line. I was really enjoying the author's writing but this makes me feel like I won't be anticipating new chapters so much anymore.

Unexpectedly rather good, falls in the same sub-genre as the currently popular 'sign-in' or rather reincarnating into past immortal cultivation world with purely Chinese mythology, with OP cheats. Basically its a cheap, somewhat low quality book but its really good in what it tries to be. Think 'My senior brother is too steady!' but 30% lesser quality and a lot more straightforward.

This is honestly pretty solid 3, 5 stars book, not for its clever plot nor great characters or even any kind of amazing worldbuilding but mostly for it 'fastfoodliterature'... more>> -style entertainment value. Normally I would say time well spent but in this case its time well wasted. It's been fun reading this, at least so far. <<less

Taste alright for few chapters in a month I guess, but binge for more than 100ch a day surely taste bad. Why? I'm not that sure, more like I'm not too click with the overflowing hypocrisy. Well, those jokes became bland fast.
