Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.
Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.
The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.
Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.
I want to do this the right way.
P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
It certainly is nice to see someone writing a xianxia with a MC who has some morals. Sometimes those transmigrated MCs become the very thing they did dislike in some early chapter of their story and it makes me stop reading which is a shame since a lot of the authors of cultivation stories are really talented. Even in our society - which if you look at it from a certain viewpoint is immensely chaotic and complicated - some people adhere to certain principles, instead of focusing on screwing with anyone first before s/he can screw with them, so it makes sense that some people in cultivation stories would have certain principles or restraint behind their behavior as well. So I like the idea behind this story.

The MC can’t keep his words and have no sense of danger. He should have died already but he continu to meet Nice people in a world where everyone kill each other for benefit. It’s a bit too much, it’s not kindness, at best it’s luck at worst the reader is taken for an idiot.

OK to start off with... the story itself is top notch!... BUT, there are some butts [giggle]. First the world is well developed and the cultivation is fairly easy to follow. The MC's powers are cool. The character building is good but a bit on the slow side. There is a good amount of action.... Now for the Butt's.
The harem is nonexistent... he has literally had over 10+ women want to take his 28 year old V-card from him.... and he turns them ALL down.... the author may disagree.. but trust me just look at my name I think I can tell a flat tire when I see one. Anyway the only downside to the story that most will find annoying is the MC having a Chad/white knight/Mother Taressa, bleeding heart [that he did not have on Earth!!!] that gets everyone around him in tons of trouble...I mean he makes promises to his friends and literally breaks it in less than a day... repeatedly... sigh anyway, the story is still great but I fear that it develops too slowly... for instans its well over 145+ chapters and the dude has not even started CULTIVATION yet lol. Phew sorry just wanted you to know what to expect!
Its currently about 146 chapters in and I am dropping due to nothing going on... his ability is dictating all his actions and its boring... good luck.........

This novel is a little strange, because we are not going to hide it we are invaded by stories that claim to be Grimdark because it is more "realistic". This story is quite the opposite.
So no, here the author is not rewarding his readers by having the MC kill anyone with whom he interacts.
Our protagonist James, despite being transported to a cultivation world, is trying somehow to safeguard the moral codes he has.
He received a healing power during his transfer, and he uses it as much as he can.
It is this conflict that makes this story interesting. Despite the fact that using his abilities can get him in trouble, he refuses to restrict himself. Some will call it idiocy.
I don't find that more silly than an MC who's a Murder Hobbo, and that type of character doesn't shock anyone.
So if you want a story without Angst every 4 pages, with an author who takes their time to build the world the characters operate in, I recommend this story.

I commend the idea, it's unique enough and certainly a pleasant idea. There aren't many grammar mistakes. These are the good points.
The bad ones. Ooh boy. The story starts out nicely and we meet the main characters quite soon. The MC, a young man, who after getting isekaied into a cultivation world decides that he wants to keep his morals, which he breaks barely hours after by killing a person, granted the situation was reasonable enough, but my point stands.
He gains the power of healing and can heal basically everything, even mental problems. The problem is how he uses these gifts. Further into the story he uses his power of healing on random people around him just to feel good, the problem with this is that he is in a freaking cultivation world. This problem is even pointed out by other characters.
Also, at this point there is still no progress in cultivation, not even a start really.
But I digress, the main problem for me is the almost complete lack of interaction between the main characters. All we see is them planning and planning but other than that there is nothing, it's like the characters don't spend any time together at all, despite living together.
If you enjoy seeing characters constantly plan something, then go ahead and have fun, I am dropping.

This is a good story, but the concept of kind and stupid are intermixed with each other.
till chapter 45, no cultivation is done.
at first couple of chapters, the story was progressing pretty good, but it got halted as we get to know lin and ai and gong, which by the way are not that interesting.

This story presents a unique perspective to powers and the effects it can have over the society.
The author does not pull rabbits out of the hat. There are no - "Hero's bloodline is purer than villain. How can villain's attack work" moment. The hero is like an artist - learning by practising - many a times overdoing it and facing consequences because people around you have their own mind and goals.
Give it a try. It is not from the same templates of the many wish fulfilment and xianxia around.

This story is about a kind, if a bit stupid, man transferred to a cultivation world.
On the whole, the story is slowly advancing. It hasn't quite reached actual cultivation yet, but there has been enough action to keep the world building interesting.
[C156 update]
Still no cultivation, but the world building is still interesting. Given where the MC is at, I estimate that in 15 chapters he'll be cultivating to some degree, if he ever cultivates.

I didn't read it yet but I like to thank you for this novel I dropped so many novels because the MC is selfish or ruthless and it's rare to see a novel with a kind protagonist so thank you??

The pacing of the story is horrible there have many times I have almost dropped this story just for that the only reason I'm still reading is waiting for the MC to get screwed of from how he trusts literally anybody that he meets with in less than a day with secrets that would get him killed And how he says he naive but more like stupid after how naive can a 27 year old black man from America be.
