Five Immortal Sects五仙门五仙門

I somehow read up to chapter 600 from the mtl. I would say it's absolutely mid up to that point at best. The only interesting point is anything related to the Five Immortal Sects and maybe his current master and senior brothers and sisters, but everything else is either mid or bad.

Many people said this is slow, but up to around chapter 100 I didn't understand what these people meant and thought they were too impatient but by this point I'm also starting to see it. While his cultivation feels super slow since at chapter 600 he's still only at the , that wasn't the main issue I had up to this point. The main problem is how the author drags simple things out like crazy. For example when he was on his way traveling for some materials, the amount of time he spent side quests were crazy. And these side quests were so boring and could easily be cut down a lot. I could yap some more about this but I'll just move on since I'm tired.

Next, another thing that disappointed me is the techniques the mc has. I thought the mc would learn some new strong techniques sooner or later but at this point, other than a , he only knows basic techniques, how to use poison, and how to use treasures. What a letdown, I was expecting more from the mysterious Five Immortal Sects. Maybe in the future there will be better techniques but I was at chapter 600, you shouldn't wait so long. I was really looking forward to it too.

Next, another thing I don't like is the mc. Maybe others would like him but I just don't understand how he turned into such an uninteresting character. Also there should be a HIDING TRUE STRENGTH TAG since the mc is hiding his strength on default all the time. I can understand since he is progressing fast compared to what's normal but he can still find excuses, and in my opinion a lot of the troubles or inconveniences the mc goes through is because he is either hiding his strength or his identity. I can understand if he does this occasionally but at this point no one knows the true mc in the world. His first thought lie, hide information about himself, and downplay his own achievements. I wouldn't mind, since I understand why he's cautious from his past experiences, but he takes it too far in my opinion. He explains that he does this because he doesn't like fighting to the death and like sneaking up on others while they underestimate him. But he still regularly fights to death after a certain point.

I can understand why the author makes the mc hide strength and his identity at times but th author just loves making the mc look completely unremarkable every time to the point it's annoying. I especially don't like how the author likes making every damn side character underestimate the mc and unconsciously downplay everything he does, even after past times when the mc has been forced to show brilliance. Like they would say "oh he must have some sort of treasure that makes it so he can resist his divine sense", like why is every character so narrow minded? These narrow minded side characters are one of the main differences between a good novel and a mid or bad novel most of the time.

Okay I yapped a lot just now, I'm just so disappointed that I wasted so much time using chatgpt to translate the original chinese source to english while also occasionally reading the subpar mtl. It just never got better up till chapter 600, and I really want to continue but in my opinion it's not worth reading the mtl for. Hopefully one day the world finally learns about the mc's prowess and how awesome he is, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see it anytime soon. And in my opinion by the time that does happen, everyone else will probably be forgotten and the mc will probably move to a different setting where new people will underestimate him, just like in most of these types of cultivation novels.
