A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God

My Thoughts on A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God

"A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God" is a title that screams xianxia with a heavy dose of family fluff, and honestly, it delivers pretty much exactly what it promises. It's not going to win any literary awards, but it's a fun, engaging read for when you want something light and easy to digest.

First Impressions

The premise is immediately appealing: a protagonist who doesn't necessarily want to be the strongest but is forced into it by his ridiculously talented children. It's a nice twist on the typical cultivation story, and the early chapters do a good job of establishing the family dynamic and the protagonist's somewhat reluctant journey.

What Works Well

I really enjoyed the focus on the family. The kids are legitimately interesting, and watching them progress is satisfying. The protagonist, while undeniably OP, doesn't constantly hog the spotlight, which is a refreshing change of pace. He's more interested in ensuring his family's safety and happiness than conquering the world, and that makes him relatable, despite his immense power. I also appreciate the lack of a harem. The story focuses on the relationship between the protagonist and his wife, which adds a layer of depth and maturity that's often missing in this genre. The pacing is generally good, and the story keeps moving forward without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.

Areas of Concern

While the protagonist's reluctance to get involved in higher-level conflicts is initially appealing, it can sometimes feel like he's deliberately holding back the story's potential. There are moments where I wished he would just unleash his full power and deal with problems head-on, rather than constantly taking a backseat.

Final Verdict

Overall, "A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God" is a solid choice for casual reading. If you're looking for a complex, deeply philosophical xianxia novel, this isn't it. But if you want a fun, heartwarming story about family, cultivation, and a ridiculously OP protagonist who just wants everyone to be happy, then you'll probably enjoy this one. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's good for what it is, but it could be even better with a little more ambition.
