Ashlock awoke in the courtyard of a demonic sect… as a tree.

A tree that eats people.

And one that grows stronger over time due to a daily sign-in system and cultivation. Collapse

    What do we have at the moment?
    - Stupid protagonist.
    - Strongly emotional protagonist.
    -If he had turned on his spiritual brains, he could have avoided many problems. The main character just exists. He does not try to understand himself or come up with something new.
    Average novel. You can read.

      He's a tree tho, no need to think.

      It's a decent novel considering it being an isekai.

        With your thinking, you can jump out of the window. If you are put into slavery. Your thoughts will... I'm a slave, I don't need to think. He has the soul of a man. What's with isekai? If this is an isekai, then you need to turn off your brain and read about an idiot?. I understand that everyone just turns off the brain and wastes time in vain.

          "He's a tree tho, no need to think." is the joke, cause he does the thinking part, but not quiet well.

          "It's a decent novel considering it being an isekai." my honest opinion on it. The isekai genre is filled to the brim with poor grammar, ever repeated tropes, and overall uninspired wastes of time and brain cells. I think it's too early to make a final judgment this early in the story's development.

            Can't say anything about bad grammar, I don't speak English.
            I disagree that this is not a cliché novel.
            1. The cliché system.
            2. cliché plot.
            (Reincarnation, emotions - little reason to care about characters, emotional protagonist, protagonist surrounded by a bunch of girls.)
            The only thing that is more or less new in this novel is that the main character is a tree.
            The novel itself is also a brain cell killer from the protagonist's stupidity.
            I wrote at the beginning of the comment "What do we have at the moment?" what makes you think that I make the final judgment on the novel?

              A decent grammar is one of the most important aspects of a book's success, whatever language it was written in. The system is a cliché at this point, yes, but the overall story development isn't. When was last time you saw an MC reincarnated as an object and not unlock 'telepathy' or 'teleport' or something similar of nature at the very beginning of the story, and keeps getting skills that make the whole reincarnation plot utterly irrelevant. As for the MC being slow of thinking, he did acknowledge his mistakes and impulsive decisions. As for being surrounded by girls (which he isn't), is not giving off any harem or annoying female-lead vibes, mainly because he is a damn tree that is going nowhere anytime soon (was implied by the author in one of their comments).

                I read a novel where the main character is a stone, the main character is a stick, the main character is a sword, the main character is a computer, the main character is a system, the main character and much more. A novel in which the protagonist is an integral entity. For example, I remember a novel where the main character was a sword (Chinese novel) And there is just a gorgeous plot, but it's a pity that the novel was abandoned. If you compare 27 chapters of a Chinese novel with this one, you can immediately see a huge difference. If I remember the name of the novel, I'll give a link.
                The protagonist of this novel, although he says that this is a mistake, does not try to cope with it. How did he live in real life? That's probably why he died. He does not even try to study information about the world in which he found himself. He directly says that he is not interested. A real idiot is saved only by plot armor. At the expense of the girls in his environment, they simply are. And they added him to the novel and made him emotionally attached to the hero just like that.

            Everytime I hear someone mentioning cliché/repeated tropes and bad book on the same novel I roll my eyes. With the amount of novels being written these days it would be a miracle to find a book that doesn't draw some sort of trope from another book. The problem isn't about repeated tropes. The problem how well though out they are written.

            I remember seeing the anime 'Kenja no Mago' which is one of the most cliché anime I have ever seen. Despite that it is quite enjoyable because the author knew how to properly implement those tropes instead of blindly matching them together like some Frankestein monster (which usually happens with most authors).

              Endlessly recycling tropes to the point of being able to precisely predict future events is no fun, no matter what glue is used to keep that mess running (unless that glue is a one of a kind charming comedy, or a pure satire, which effects start to wear off if not properly balanced with good grammar and storytelling).
              But if you, or anyone else for that matter, still finds them entertaining regardless, then more power to you.

                It seems you didn't even bother to read my comment properly.

                I am pretty sure that I wrote that "tropes" is clearly a stupid point to judge a book. With the amount of books that are being pumped out yearly it is next to impossible to have something completely original. There is gonna be some kind of trope. I am expecting sooner or later that with this attitude people are gonna call breathing oxygen a trope.

                The only thing authors , especially new authors, that can do is mismatch "tropes" in such away that it might seem original and make people like you shut up for a second. Though you are gonna realize after a second that these are still tropes and be completely confused as to why you were complaining about tropes being bad but still continue to complain because you are already this far in.

                The problem with tropes is clearly that authors are repeating the same template. The probelm is when they are "badly" or even "wrongly" implement that template. We don't need as readers everytime a newer and higher high to enjoy a story. This thinking process is simply ruining novels these days. Sometimes stability in this sea of unstable novels that are seeking something different for the sake of difference is a bit more appreciative.

                That is if you hate those "templates" then more power to you. You are going to shout cliché because every song uses the same seven notes and their many slight variations. So there is a difference to 'I personally hate those specific tropes' to 'novel with tropes are objectively bad'.

                  Novels with tropes and bad grammar are bad.
                  Novels with tropes, good (and even slightly bad) grammar and interesting writing are most likely fine, and no one can complain about it.
                  Novels with ever repeating tropes, are without a doubt bad no matter what you use as an excuse to keep reading them. Example:


                  Isekais are the most prominent example, as they excessively use the
                  truck-kun - high schooler - a senseless harem, slaves, or both - MC with cheats or an undeserved edge - dumb writing
                  combo (or template if you like), and is just lazy work to be frank, and does not matter if it's used by a newbie or a veteran writer.

                  But not all isekais are bad, cause there are some rough gems amidst the seasonal trash dumb, and I've just recently finished watching Isekai Ojisan recently, Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken before that, and KonoSuba much earlier than that, and i can say with confidence that they are good shows because of the good comedy and wholesomeness despite the story sometimes being a wacky isekai.

        He has a lot of problems. Lightning bolts, cultivators, the world itself, after all, it is its own problem. And don't insult me. And don't comment on me again. I have already expressed my opinion about this novel.

          Damn bro, who pissed you off? And literally none of the stuff you listed off are actually his problems.
          - He got caught up in stella's tribulation, and was struck by lightning. What the f#ck was he meant to do about it? Move away? Oh wait, he's a TREE.
          - Once again the only 2 cultivator problems he's had are the berry guy and the grand elder. And what was he supposed to do to avoid them? Hide? Oh wait, HE'S A MOTHERFUCKING TREE!
          - What does "the world itself" even mean? He isn't getting attacked by the world, so how is the world a problem? I'm starting to think that you have no idea what you're talking about and just want to hate on this novel for some reason.

            I will explain what I meant. The main character turns into a tree. He has the soul of an adult. Unwilling to understand how to survive in the cultivation world, he sucks up all the nonsense and blames the system. And I don’t need to write that he is a tree, he can’t do anything. This is complete nonsense. By learning the system, you will be able to understand how it works and use it correctly.
            “He got caught up in stella's tribulation, and was struck by lightning. What the f#ck was he meant to do about it? Move away? Oh wait, he's a TREE."I re-read to answer you correctly. HE DATED HEAVENLY ANGER, not Stella, she said so herself. There was also a storm. The answer to your question is: what should he do about it?
            Even before the lightning strike, he had already seen that the lightning had not spared the other dervi either. And he could deduce that the lightning might have struck him. And come up with a solution. And don't say there is no solution.
            The world of cultivation is a huge endless hydrogen of events. Anything can happen. It would be necessary to at least err on some kind of event.

              Damn, the text is wrong. As I said, I don't speak English well. I am using a translator. So the correct text is in Russian. I was, but when writing this comment, I realized that I copied the wrong text and I was too lazy to write again.

            Polygamy is not morally wrong. Cheating is morally wrong.

            One has consenting partners which have set up rules while the other is betraying the trust put in him/her when he could just you know break up with their partner if they feel unsatisfied and go on their merry way.

            To put a disclaimer , I am really really against betraying (which cheating is). Even then I am okay with people that are swingers as long as they don't try to force their way of living to me. Though swinging is basically polyamory. Polyamory and polygamy only different to the fact that polygamy requires much more commitment.

              idk man
              Polygami is a thing because someone was unfaithful and fell in love with another and wanted an excuse to have them both... sigh
              So, it is morally wrong if u ask me.
              Even if both parties have consent, it's a matter of fact that we only have 1 heart to give...

      Quite good, in fact, from what I have read. Trees of Aeons focus on Tree actively fighting against the demons while this novel focuses more on a slice of life. There had been short and long-time skips but not outrageous as Aeon.

    Only 26 chapters till now so I'm not gonna judge, seems like Tree of Aeons + cultivation+ not too op and unique sign-in system. No romance yet but there are 2 girls introduced. Characters seem kinda one dimensional and the tree does eat humans. 3.8/5 if you ask me. Unique and definitely got some strong points and a ton of potential. World building is interesting though we haven't seen a lot of it. Power levels are standard cultivation novel stuff and something more that's interesting. Way better than the worst on RR and most of webnovel
