As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills
This web novel, "As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills," certainly took me on a rollercoaster. The premise is intriguing: a transmigrated protagonist with immortality as his cheat, dedicated to mastering dangerous, self-harming skills. However, the execution seems to be… inconsistent, to say the least.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The idea of a cautious MC leveraging his immortality to learn forbidden techniques held a lot of promise. I was ready for a slow-burn story of calculated risks and clever exploitation of his unique advantage. The early chapters, focused on martial arts and the MC's careful approach, were genuinely enjoyable.
What Works Well
The initial focus on the MC's cautious nature and his dedication to learning forbidden skills is definitely a high point. This approach to the xuanhuan genre felt refreshing. It was fun to see him prioritizing safety and using his immortality to his advantage. I also appreciated the initial world-building, which felt more deliberate and less reliant on typical tropes.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, things seem to take a sharp turn around chapter 300 or so. Several readers reported a significant shift in the MC's personality, from a low-key, cautious individual to an arrogant, reckless hothead. This abrupt change undermines the initial appeal of the story. The plot apparently devolves into a more generic cultivation narrative, filled with face-slapping and predictable scenarios. The forbidden skills, which were initially central to the story, seem to fade into the background. I can see how this would be disappointing for readers who were invested in the original premise. Furthermore, some readers noted issues with the translation, including missing descriptions and shortened paragraphs. This can significantly impact the reading experience, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the story.

Final Verdict
"As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills" has a promising start, but unfortunately, it seems to lose its way as the story progresses. The inconsistent character development and shift towards a more generic plot are major drawbacks. While the initial chapters might be worth a read, I would approach this novel with caution, especially if you're looking for a consistently engaging and well-written story.
