A truly great series, the characters feel realistic enough and word setting is rather well done. I enjoyed reading every bit of it, seeing the protagonist starts his journey and not only awaken to his destiny but also embark on a path different from his previous life.
I would recommend it to anyone wanting to try out the wuxia genre.

This book was really disappointing. It started out with great potential, but has a few very glaring flaws. There are several events that are explained very poorly (which I have outlined in the spoiler below) and the magic system is basically skipped over without any explanation. I would not recommend trying this book.

A story of a man that died and got stuck in a new body (that belonged to just deceased useless noble brat). He surprises everibody with how he "changed" and started training.
The book is well written with interesting characters and story, a good place to start exploring cultivation novels. Unlike standard, it doesn't have word padding or arrogant idots with "you are courting death" type expressions which means it can be read without skipping pages.
It does have people yelling attack names as they execute them, which are 5-9 words in length which can get boring. Also, main character is overpowered.
Book has been re-edited so there are no typos, with only occasional strange phrasing. Book is also short (under 200 pages), but following parts are over 300 so it is not a problem.
Overall, I recommend it for anyone that likes cultivation novels

“This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.�
I am not going to share my reasoning, thoughts on the book, or any opinions that would influence your decision to read it. I am simply saying that I liked it. I would like you to read it and make your own decision. After all, you are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
I will happily discuss the book with you on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ if you are so inclined. As always, I am open to debates and arguments, but also vain enough to seek acknowledgement, so feel free to roast me or applaud my efforts. Either is acceptable, because if you are paying attention to me then you are at least considering the book. And THAT my friends is exactly why you see my comments here.
(Yep...hit with the banhammer.)
Cheers

Only gets better from here, No spoilers
During this whole series there was enjoyable world building, characters, and even power scaling which was not to bad, I’m already caught up with this series and decided to come leave a review, partially due to my enjoyment with the series and for thinking it deserved higher reviews then 4 stars shown, this book really is just the tip of the iceberg for a great series and I usually don’t even enjoy Wuxia, pleasantly surprised with this series.

DNF 27%
There may be a decent story in here, but after a promising start, it just didn't want to go anywhere.
What forced me to stop reading was the terrible grammar. It's not much of an exaggeration to suggest an average error rate of one per sentence. The author's propensity to include sound effects in quotations was juvenile... Instead of 'He sighed' the author would write "Sigh." At one point it was like an old Batman comic with "Bang" and "Pow" sound effects.

A study on cultivation
A good little book. It does inspire one to learn more about the ancient arts of cultivation. I will read the test of the series.

Interesting
It gives a good beginning to a long tale to come, the stories that starts with the main character at a young age shows a lot of room for growth and unique developments.

Step into the world of Naruto! I fail to see much substance to this book or it's sequel. The characters are flat and preposterous. People are silly as there's this massive hierarchy of power where the top can easily demolish the lower tiers but for some reason does not. In this story you have every element of a cartoon you can imagine. Shout out your technique before you unleash it (always a good idea in a battle), everyone with some form of transportation/flash step, people that can fly, simply disappear, blow up whole mountains ... the MC at one time can carry himself 5x the weight of gravity ... not impressive enough? Well, then he goes and does it 10 fold ... that's 50x normal gravity, while traversing 95 Kilometers non-stop (about 60 miles). But he can do it ... he can do ANYTHING! And is constantly evolving new and grand powers that are soon dwarfed and forgotten about as he learns new super powers.
Sure, there's cultivation, but no progression. Instant knowledge is transposed into him without even learning it, so you wonder ... what's the point?
I really can't get over that shouting out of techniques. Here's two people doing combat so fast that they can't be seen with the naked eye, BUT have time to shout out "Two handed blazing praying mantis fire fist sword attack!" All while dodging the other guys attack?!?
Overall, the story is just shy of annoying and very tedious. Was happy to reach the end and won't be following the other books in the series.

The thing with wuxia is that either you start by banishing disbelief altogether, or don't start at all. That works for me when I just want to put my mind at rest. The sin of this book is that even primed to enjoy a ridiculous story in a ridiculous world with protagonists behaving ridiculously... I can't get into it. The story is a meandering stream of randomness, the different characters motivations are either glossed over, not mentioned at all or quite illogical, add to that the convoluted wuxia writing style and the story becomes impossible to enjoy. I don't know if I'll push to finish or just leave it there.

Good plot, some grammar malfunctions can be overlooked
It is a norm eastern reincarnation cultivation story. Guy dies his souls goes into another person that dies. Discovers that the current body has a special bloodline and decides to start his journey in training in cultivation in the wilderness and has different encounters that will speed up his cultivation and fighting techniques along the way.

Unbelievable
The main character is just...he steals something precious gets hurt escaping yet he blames the victim of theft and goes to get revenge even though doing so will obviously cause a ruckus and attract attention and put him in danger, what an arrogant idiot, not to mention moving through a dangerous forest mountain while destroying the landscape... The only reason this guy didn't die is because he's basically the "luckiest" person in that world.

Needs more proofreading
Many translation errors, especially chapter 21 on. Last chapter better. Most sentences need divided into at least three parts by better punctuation. Words with "ed" ending usually wrong. Many misuses of "the." And much more that makes meanings unclear. Not worth the money unless redone.

Fun story
Storyline is interesting and kept my attention. A little confused about the frost demon bit, but assume this will be explained later in the series. Only one weird editing issue. There was a stranded repeat of about 5 or 6 paragraphs. Otherwise a fine it of storytelling

Exciting
I liked the storyline. The action was pretty intense at times. The inclusion of heavenly strength enemies was a bit confusing and nothing was really brought to a close either.
I am looking for the next book and recommend that others read them as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It contained a lot of the elements that I enjoy in cultivation novels. It is mainly plot driven which is to say that the characters are pretty superficial and things just continuously happen without much time to breathe. I’m definitely moving on to the next book.

Rough but very good
I actually liked this book quite a bit. There are some rough parts, but, at its core, it is really good. With a little polish, it will easily be one of my favorite books.
Highly recommended.

Great book!
This was a great book. I would recommend to any of my friends. The plot is very interesting and keeps your attention throughout the whole book.

Absolutely awful. The only good thing I can say about this book is that it was short. However, short as it was, it was still a struggle to finish this one.

Fun read.
This book was a little smaller than the ones I usually like to pick when it comes to cultivation novels but either way it was a fun and entertaining read.

I couldn't figure out if the book was a really horrible translation or just really awful writing. It was the clunkiest I've seen.
August 28, 2022
All of the Xianxia tropes. Just needs some more coughing up blood. Lazy story telling, constant exposition by switching viewpoints.
January 2, 2023
Weak story and characters despite having some fun xianxia elements. Everything moves too fast, powerups fall from the sky. It feels like racing through a checklist.

The translation quality bizarrely tanks midway through the book.
