Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict.

This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies.

Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul.

Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he’ll turn to the dark side and end up a villain?

…

Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey.

It’s not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There’s also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It’s more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building.

It’s still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won’t pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better.

I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after!

***

Updates will be weekly. If you want to see more chapters, check out my Patreon (button at the bottom of every chapter)! Thanks everyone! Collapse

    Pathetic MC. I am mentally hurt. It's been a long time I have read this kind of novel where MC gets bitten up everywhere.
    It's been 1 day and I am still upset.

    For recovery, I am reading a system novel now.

    the MC starts off normal enough, but he slowly starts to degrade into a furry and a weird one at that.

    -side note his future wifes are also lowkey animal lover's if you know you know

    This novel may have had a good start, but I really don't recommend it. It falls off super hard and sticks to the same repeat pattern of loss, slight rebuild before loss again.

      I've actually seen a NTR which is above 3 star. I think it was called 6 times a day. Not sure if it's any good though

    This is nice, but the author tends to half follow the same pattern for a long time, MC gets betrayed time and time again, but atleast it can be somewhat entertaining. At some point he learns his lesson and over prepares for everything. There are also a lot of technical details the the author just throws in there that might seem important, and they sorta are, but they can be summarised and the idea could still be conveyed properly. It is a nice novel and I do recommend giving it a read, you just have to endure the time skip party in the beginning and get used to detailed explanations for how things work and where his idea came from

    i see that most people seem to hate this novel but its quite good imo
    this novel is well..novel in the sense that it is different from the usual cookie cutter xianxia
    mc isnt all that great in terms of talent and personality
    his plans dont work out most of the time either

    he is genuinely average/below average in all facets but there is a common theme of a desperate struggle throughout the novel
    although he is as massively lucky sometimes as he is unlucky so be prepared to see a load of shit happen to him but he struggles through it somehow

    all these factors make for a pretty interesting read although i would recommend just breezing over some boring bits (some scenes are kinda lengthy) without paying much attention.
    also do keep in mind it would probably be best to not treat this as a self insert type novel cause that would just make it a very frustrating read.
    id say this is worth a 6 or a 7/10

    This novel is super frustrating. The MC is betrayed all the time and suffers nonstop setbacks and losses. The time skips are brutal - for example when he transmigrates into a child he starts at like 7 years old and by chapter 31 he is in his 50s. He has like 6 different groups/people he needs to get vengence on but still hasn't managed any as of chapter 351. The author has a bad habit of summarizing stuff that really should have been organically shown. Whenever the MC gets established somewhere or starts building wealth he winds up either betrayed or on the run and forced to start over from scratch. Then he winds up getting lucky and rebuilding fast only to start the cycle over again. His cultivation method is all over the place with power ups being random. He is a jack of all trades and master of none. No decent romance or really interesting side characters either. MC is wishy-washy and "goes with the flow" way too often. MC often squanders opportunities to become stronger and there is no catharsis because it's only dumb luck that keeps him going. Honestly it's by no means the worst thing I've read but I just can't handle such a lame MC.
    TL;DR MC is dumb Boi who never learns. 3/10 would not recommend.

        Anything by "Toika"; "Everyone else is a returnee", "I reincarnated for nothing", "infinite competitive dungeon society", "never die extra" to name a few. All well written and interesting stories that don't overstay their welcome and end. Not perfect and MCs are similar if you read all his stories but I like them.
