Description

Fu Yao’s father, Fu Chengyan, who has been vegetative for more than ten years suddenly woke up one day.The doctor who witnessed all this sighed: People wake up, but they turn crazy! Fu Chengyan, who had been in the cultivation world for two thousand years, went back to his own world. When he saw his daughter again, he found her with short hair, possessing very old clothes, and having a pitiful look due malnutrition. Feeling guilty, Fu Chengyan wanted to know his daughter’s true thoughts in order to compensate her. He then read her inner world with mind reading. “It’s was not easy to raise myself already, and now I have to raise a dad with a brain problem… My life is too difficult.” “It seems that the scholarship I am receiving is not enough.” “It’s better to sell the first place in the school to that person.” “Isn’t the second-placer a silly girl? Let’s sell the second-place to the third-placed silly girl also…” “How much was the prize for the oral English contest?” “Although Dad has a problem with his brain, he still looks so handsome. Is the rich woman next door still thinking about him? How…” Fu Chengyan: Thank you for being a filial daughter!

My Thoughts on Dad Has Returned From the Cultivation World

First Impressions

When I first saw the title, "Dad Has Returned From the Cultivation World," I almost scrolled past. It sounded like another generic cultivation-dad-returns story. However, the description intrigued me enough to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. It's definitely not exactly what I expected, in a good way. It's a slice-of-life story with supernatural elements, focusing on a young girl's journey to independence.

What Works Well

The biggest draw for me is the female protagonist. She's not your typical reborn or transmigrated character. She's a kid, acting like a kid, but she's also incredibly capable. The author has done a great job of balancing her childishness with her growing skills in various fields, like acting and hacking. The ghosts who act as her mentors are a fun and unique twist, providing her with the knowledge she needs to navigate the world. The comedic elements are well-placed and genuinely funny, especially in situations like dealing with school bullies or engaging in hacker wars. The familial love is also a strong point, particularly her father's devotion, even if he's not always the most present figure.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the initial chapters, I did find myself growing a little weary as I progressed. Some of the plotlines felt somewhat familiar, borrowing elements from other similar stories. The relationships, particularly the male characters' almost obsessive focus on the MC, felt a bit… off. While familial love is a core theme, the imbalance in attention felt slightly creepy. I also wish the author had explored the side characters a bit more. The world feels very centered around the MC, which can make it feel a little limited at times.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Dad Has Returned From the Cultivation World" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a unique take on the slice-of-life genre with a strong female lead. While it's not without its flaws, the engaging plot and likable characters make it worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars. It's a fun ride, but be aware of some potentially repetitive plotlines and the slightly unbalanced character dynamics.
