Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation从废灵根开始问魔修行

Same as the other trash heaps of this genre. Starts off good enough but after achieving a major milestone the mc seams to lose half his brain cells. Because he was vengeful, but still smart enough to choose his battles waiting for the right opportunity.like a venomous snake. But after the milestone he seems to kill anyone who even looks at him a wrong way. He even offends people way stronger than him because of pride. He turned from a venomous snake waiting in ambush for the right moment to a raging bull charging at everyone regardless of if he has a chance or not. The writing wasn’t good in the first place but the the shift in tone killed any interest I had in the novel 3.2/5 not good but there is worse out there

762

mtl ch 344. Enough for me.

Good up until ch 475 where he basically tells everything to this disciple he picked up and then has a threesome with her for some reason

A mediocre, low-quality work comparable to many similar ones. The main character gains numerous techniques and knowledge without demonstrating sufficient value or effort. His cheat literally eliminates all the side effects of bad techniques and turns them to his advantage. Situations that should cripple him or put him in a difficult situation only increase his strength and provide rewards. The work shows that MCs require an incredible amount of resources, but the amount required is much lower, and yet they show no progress! A trivial situation in the 60s shows how the main character has progressed by consuming a lot of resources, while other secondary characters show no progress, etc. An extremely flawed and trivial work. Rating 2/5.

С определённого момента это превратилось в дерьмо и легко лег спать

3.3 stars. Writing quality is above average and the story is a bit generic. Cultivation system is meh but the fights are interesting. I’m dropping it because I personally don’t like its direction, but you may enjoy how it turns up.

If you want to see why I’m dropping it, you can see my spoiler below:

As of chapter 50 its really plain with nothing really interesting to show off 4/10 will read like 20 chapters more if nothing changes will drop.
The mc:
-not bad not great its your standard xianxia protagonist that not too much of a murder hobo.
the system:
-the system is very simple and starts op and will develop into something so op there is 0% chance that the mc will have an reacurring ally that will keep up with him after the inevitable higher realm transition if the author doesnt gutt it somehow. And the system give big "way of the devil" vibes with the body modifications.
the cultivation:
-quite garbadio you gather qi make qi into strands you get x strands to lvl up and from other comments here its looks like it works like that in foundation establishing stage too so meh.
the translator:
-its quite bad? I switched to mtl after hiccup like "my cheat generates 12 strands of qi a day that means after a year I will get only 365 strands of qi" (or something like that) plus other smaller inconsistency, And so far mtl is very readable.
thanks for reading my ted talk

I was interested by the description, but then at the end it suddenly was revealed as another trash system cheat novel...

Nice read, i read continuously till the last translated chapter (192) which i have not done for a long time now, all the problems i have with it is due to personal bias that’s why i would recommend you read it yourself.

For example i am not a fan of the cultivation system which is summed up as accumulate spiritual qi, compress then breakthrough, repeat, repeat again, it was fine during the qi refining stage but my boy was doing the same thing on the foundation establishment stage, that took the smile off my face, where is the mysticism? i took a sneak peek at the MTL, guess what, he was still doing the same thing, see it’s Xianxia, it should not only have a great story but the cultivation aspect is supposed to be top notch as well or atleast better.

I also have issues with the cross realm fighting, defeat a cultivator of the same stage with one punch, okay, defeat another 1 minor realm above, oh he is a genius, 2 minor realm above, he is a 1000 years genius, defeat 3 minor realm above…wait , worse still it was not 1v1, bro was fighting multiple people above him in cultivation stage alone and still wipes the floor with them, why? guess it’s okay because the system is just accumulation of qi and he is better skilled because of his cheat.

I don’t like the fact that he sometimes challenges cultivators a major realm above him to their face and they just let him do shit without sending him to the afterlife at once, it takes away the sacredness of the stages above.

We saw him suffer the consequences of his actions at the beginning but it’s kinda sad that it didn’t happen again, seeing the other mistakes he keeps on doing they just kinda work out for him at the end.

We see the MC making more decisions based on emotions as we go, at the beginning he uses his head first which i agree might come out as cold blooded sometimes, is this the character development Daoist Inkdrunk was talking about? Well unfortunately i am one of those that think the MC got soft, hear me out, i am used to the main character starting out with emotions then go off to become pragmatic, weighing the consequences of his actions before acting on them instead of just acting, you know more experience, especially since he is a demonic cultivator, but in this novel the reverse is the case, again this is my personal bias.

For example we see a situation whereby the MC considered mutual destruction in a totally preventable situation because he hates the guts of some people, i was like WTF just happened.

Another one is the fact sometimes things are way to convenient for the MC, he needs something, bam, he indirectly gets it ,even the consequences he got at the beginning turned out to help him immensely, pls let him suffer just a little bit till he has a somewhat pessimistic view on life too much, sorry, i just feel like the mc journey is smooth sailing, most people actually enjoy that, me i prefer challenges cause they will make the story intense. I won’t mind if the consequences live with him for atleast 500 chapters. He should learn that actions have grave consequences and sometimes they are permanent.

I took a peek at the MTL and it is very well written, so enjoy.

I would rate the novel 3.9/5.0 and recommend you read it yourself, it’s actually Good, just not great enough to make me delve into the Dao of MTL.
