Today I would like to recommend to you a fantasy novel that breaks through the barriers between the styles of Chuangshi and Qidian.

"It Turns Out I'm a Great Immortal Cultivator", Kinoshita Chisui, Level 5 author.

Category: Xianxia-Fantasy cultivation of immortality.

【Introduction】

The path to immortality is elusive and the traces of immortality are hard to find.

Li Nianfan came to the world of immortal cultivation in the body of a mortal. After learning that there was no hope of becoming an immortal, he just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But I don’t know——

A dog he adopted, because it watched him write poetry and paint, became a demon king and suppressed the world.

The trees he planted behind his house, in response to his music, became world trees, supporting the bridge between heaven and earth.

A passerby he met was enlightened by him and became an immortal sage, leading an entire generation.

Looking back——

It turns out that the scholar who had been pestering him for calligraphy and paintings was the Immortal Painting Saint, the old man whose chess skills were terrible was the Immortal Chess Saint, and the beautiful woman who came to listen to music every night was the Immortal Saint Lady...

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One begins with a breakup with the system. Five years have passed, and the protagonist's sage system has left him. The system taught him Chinese, math, chemistry, physics, poetry, and painting, bestowing titles on him like the Sage of Poetry, the Sage of Painting, the Sage of Go, and the Shennong. Now, there's nothing left for him to learn. In a world of immortal cultivation, this knowledge is useful, but it doesn't help him achieve immortality.

Chapter 2: A suspected hidden master. The princess, fleeing her marriage, stumbles upon the protagonist's refuge and is instantly captivated by the place. A single-family villa, waited on by robots, and watermelon possesses magical properties, making the princess unable to stop eating. But that's not all. Why does she feel so hot all over after eating?

In Chapter 3, the identity of the hidden master is confirmed. The princess breaks through to the foundation building stage, and she can't believe it. She sees the protagonist feeding the remaining watermelon to the black dog, unconcerned about wasting these watermelons, imbued with the essence of the Dao. Only a hidden master could be so casual. The princess leaves behind a token jade pendant, and only after leaving does she remember she forgot to ask the protagonist's name.

Chapter 4: A Monster Appears. The protagonist returns to his ordinary life, but he's puzzled by his inability to catch any fish, so he descends the mountain to buy fish fry. His vast knowledge and past experience of helping many others have led the stall owners to refuse him money. He stumbles upon a child being captured by a monster, and despite not being able to cultivate, he decides to take a look.

Chapter 5: Mortals and Dogs. On the mountain, a leopard demon was battling three disciples of the Myriad Immortal Sword Sect, and the outcome was quickly decided. The leopard demon, overly talkative, was frightened by a claw from the pursuing black dog, losing his fighting power and being instantly killed. The black dog spoke in human language, asking those present not to let his master know that he had killed the leopard demon. He felt his master enjoyed playing the role of a mortal.

[Brief review] Kinoshita Chisui, a level 5 author, has written three novels: "Become the King of a Mountain", "I Am Really a Genius", and "It Turns Out I'm a Master of Cultivation".

The Genesis collections of the first two books were 400,000 and 260,000 respectively, but the Qidian collections did not exceed 10,000, and the barriers between the two platforms were not broken.

But "It Turns Out I'm a Cultivator Master" is completely different.

58,500 collections on Qidian, 180,000 collections on Bookstore, 150,000 followers on Qidian, no leader yet. Launched on July 30th, first order 280, achieved boutique status on September 28th.

The book has performed better in the Genesis category, ranking fifth on the boys' bestseller list last month.

Few books can achieve this level of success within two months, especially those that are chosen for their first release. Generally speaking, they start from the starting point and burn until the end.

Because the two platforms have different styles and readerships. Qidian readers are not very receptive to the Chuangshi style because it is too naive.

This book is actually somewhat similar to the "behind-the-scenes" and "invincible" genres. Because he himself has no spiritual energy fluctuations, he is just like an ordinary person. However, the dog he raises is extremely powerful; the watermelons he grows can allow people to establish a foundation on the spot; the trees he plants can become world trees; and those he guides can transcend the ordinary and become saints.

In the eyes of the world, he is a true hidden master, a mortal who possesses a modern high-tech product like a robot.

Perhaps the only thing that can shackle him is his lifespan. If genetic medicine can be developed, he might be able to achieve immortality, the equivalent of a saint.

In addition, this book has been released in just 30 chapters and has achieved such a great result. It is really extraordinary. You may want to give it a try.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

Some people say that this book was put on the shelves with an inverted V shape, so it gives people the feeling that it was put on the shelves after 30 chapters.

Anyway, the overall writing style is a bit novice, so it's not suitable for those who are too picky.
Writing a book is really difficult. Being a reader is much easier. I am realizing this more and more deeply.
