Description
I am a physical practitioner, they call me the “bulldozer”! I had once ruled over my times, establishing a family clan that was respected by all. The saying “breaking all rules with physical force” describes me perfectly! After I passed away, my body has remained intact for 1000 years. However, my unfilial descendants have decided to dig me out of the coffin and make use of my body to defend against natural disasters and attacks from our family’s enemies… “Dear ancestor, the Red Whale Gang is here to kill us, the Elders can no longer fight them off, please lend us your power with your body!” “Dear ancestor, please forgive us, the Heavenly Sword Clan is here to attack us again, the head of the clan is already severely injured, we need your body to scare them away!” … Until one day… “It’s too much hassle digging out the ancestor’s body and burying it over and over again! Why don’t we cultivate him into a battle puppet? He’ll protect us equally well that way!” “I believe our ancestor is watching over us. He will never forgive us for such disrespectful acts…” “That’s absolutely deplorable!” This bunch of unfilial brats deserve a good beating! One day, I regain my consciousness and lift up my coffin lid in anger… This is a story about the first physical cultivator, who had made significant contributions to human civilization and the cultivation realms a thousand years ago. However, infuriated by his insolent descendants, he wakes up from death and continues to do his part in elevating his family clan from the brink of extermination and saving his city from attacks by monsters. It is also an educational tale which instills moral righteousness and emphasizes the importance of filial piety, as the ancestor teaches his descendants to care for the young and respect the old, and to strive to create a peaceful world together as one family.

My Thoughts on Ancestor, Watch Over Me
"Ancestor, Watch Over Me" presents a unique twist on the cultivation genre, blending action, adventure, comedy, and fantasy with a system that rewards (or punishes) filial piety. While the premise hooked me, the execution left me with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were definitely intriguing. The concept of a protagonist who gains power through a system based on respecting his ancestors is fresh. I was immediately drawn in by the potential for hilarious situations and creative power-ups. The early romance also felt promising, hinting at a lighthearted and engaging story.
What Works Well
The core system – earning points based on filial piety and respect – is genuinely clever. It allows for a lot of comedic moments as the protagonist navigates tricky situations, trying to balance his desires with the expectations of his ancestors. The idea of drawing power from that connection is also compelling and provides a unique spin on the typical cultivation progression. There were some very funny moments that made me laugh out loud.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the initial promise seems to fade as the story progresses. The plot started to lose its way, becoming less focused and more convoluted. The early charm began to wear off as the story continued. It felt like the author struggled to maintain the initial momentum and creativity. The pacing also seemed to suffer, with some arcs feeling rushed while others dragged on.
Final Verdict
"Ancestor, Watch Over Me" has a brilliant core idea that unfortunately doesn't quite live up to its potential. While the initial chapters are engaging and the unique system provides plenty of comedic opportunities, the story ultimately falters due to pacing issues and a weakening plot. It's a fun read if you're looking for something lighthearted and don't mind a few bumps along the way, but don't expect a masterpiece. Ultimately, I feel "Ancestor, Watch Over Me" is a novel with a lot of potential that, sadly, isn't fully realized.
