Although the title is obvious enough, the story doesn't have that much actions compared to the average xianxia. Face slapping is also not that much.... which to me is a good thing.

MC - Definitely not a cardboard, he is not a blank slate for the reader to self-project. He has his own opinions and he doesn't always take the cliche choice. And although I wouldn't classify him as a genius, he is definitely a cautious one.

Side characters - None really feels like a 2D character. But I also wouldn't say they are completely alive as well. But this is mostly because the story barely focuses on any of em. We barely ever shown what happens inside their mind or what they are doing when MC is not there.... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's important to get this one out.

Writing Quality - I want to say pretty good.... but this is because the author is using chatgpt. And yes, I personally use chatgpt for my own story, so I know it when I see one.

I don't hate it. But I hope the author can at least edit the sentences a bit. This is because chatgpt often uses grand words for no good reason. Sometimes simpler words are better in the proper context.
Especially on the dialogue, they sometime sounds like narrating instead of actually conversing.

(While reading, I like to have a mini little puzzle to figure out the sentences that the Author has prompt to get that kind of result from chatgpt XD)

Plot Development - I wouldn't say groundbreaking or original or anything, but it has a nice plot. And no good story needs a mindtwisting plot.

Anyway in terms of pace, it's pretty slow ngl. Which I'm fine btw. But I know some people prefer fast ones.

So all in all, this is a slow burn story. I suggest to read it in a bulk rather than once everyday. (Not that I will do it myself though hehe)

World Building - Because of the first few chaps, I have a high expectation on this one.... but let's just say the story had barely scratched the surface.

I'm not saying I'm disappointed. I'm simply stating what I think.

And yes, I understand that the MC is a bookworm, so it is hard to expand on the world.... but I hope the author can work on this one a little. At least on the cultivation system and technique system.

Feedback for Author (ranked w priority) :

Characters: Not asking for an actual backstory, but it would be great to know that they still exist despite the MC not being near them. An example would be MC's best friend. He seems to only exist when the MC meets him. (Backstory was nice tho, hope you can expand on that a lil more)
Writing quality: Try to edit the result from chatgpt a little more. I understand it will take forever and it will definitely hurt your update stability (speaking from experience). But chatgpt will easily take your voice away from the narration, and believe me, having a narrator that felt like a human is better than any fancy sentences.

Chatgpt is a tool, not our teacher.
World development: Because of MC's nature, it is hard to expand on the world. So developing the power system is an easier choice, and there's definitely progress on it albeit quite slowly....

Anyway, I'm not here to rush you. In fact, take your time. I only hope you can cook the power system really well. No pressure XD.

This has potential. The MC is smart and not the dumb protag type. It's too early for me to give a rating. I'll wait and see where this goes.
