My Thoughts on Cultivator Returns to the City
"Cultivator Returns to the City" presents an interesting premise: a powerful cultivator returning to modern-day Earth after spending decades in another realm. The blend of xianxia elements with a slice-of-life setting intrigued me, and I dove in hoping for a unique reading experience. While it certainly has its moments, the novel also stumbles in a few familiar ways.
First Impressions
The initial chapters set the stage with a fairly generic setup. Our protagonist, a cultivation genius, finds himself back on Earth after achieving immense power in another realm. He's essentially an overpowered character navigating a world that seems mundane in comparison. The early conflicts feel a bit cliché, with the MC saving damsels in distress from typical thugs and dealing with arrogant antagonists.
What Works Well
Despite the somewhat predictable start, the novel does offer some enjoyable aspects. The focus on the protagonist's integration into modern society is a refreshing change from constant fighting. There's a light-heartedness to the story that makes it easy to pick up and read. I also appreciated the slow-burn romance, which remains subtle and doesn't overshadow the main plot. The villains aren't complete buffoons either, which makes the conflicts more engaging.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its flaws. While the slice-of-life elements are appreciated, the pacing can feel slow at times. The initial conflicts felt repetitive, and the antagonists, while not entirely stupid, still fall into familiar patterns. I also found some elements, such as the introduction of ninjas, to be a bit jarring and potentially problematic, hinting at possible nationalism or racism down the line.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Cultivator Returns to the City" is a mixed bag. It has potential with its unique blend of genres and overpowered protagonist, but it also suffers from familiar tropes and pacing issues. If you're looking for a light read with minimal romance and a focus on daily life with a cultivation twist, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for some potentially problematic elements and a plot that progresses at a leisurely pace. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, but with the caveat that it's not going to blow you away.
