A classic cultivation story, full of heart and also payoff for progression fantasy fans

Don’t come into this drama expecting your typical xianxia. This is a progression story. It’s a cultivation story. It’s about how Han Li, an ordinary mortal, overcomes all odds and climbs his way step by step towards immortality, grinding and killing and escaping and learning and doing whatever he has to do in order to reach his goal. This is his story of survival in a man eating world that chews cultivators and mortals alike and then spits them out to die.

No real romance or distractions to be found here bc Han Li’s true love is the chase to immortality, but the best connection he had hands down was with Miss Mo. She gave the story a bittersweet edge, and I consider the FL more than the actual one.

Anyway there are definitely flaws but I rate it a 10 for being faithful to the novel and being an overall very enjoyable ride.
