Description
As a cultivator, Minran has always devoted herself to the task of escaping death and living cautiously. But it seems as if…she’s done a little better than that? During a certain adventure, a group of cultivators were caught in a trap. The high-rank demonic cultivator laughed uproariously, “You’re all doomed now that you’ve been been struck by this deity’s heart-burning demonic prison!” Everyone was in a panic. The demonic cultivator said, “Unless one of you can bring out the root soil of the Liantian Flower!”1 The cultivators: “Who would pay attention to something like that!” Minran silently opened her storage ring, retrieved the storage bag marked 564, and poured out a large mound of soil from the roots of a Liantian flower. The demonic cultivator: “…Unless you also have powder from the coffin holding this deity’s corpse, it’s still the end for you!” Minran silently took out storage bag 619. The demonic cultivator: “…And the ten-thousand-year-old silt from the snow at the top of the iceberg in the coldest part of the sea connected to the underworld….” Before the cultivators’ expectant eyes, Minran embarrassedly dug around for a while, until it was all piled up in front of the demonic cultivator, and smiled shyly while the demonic cultivator vomited blood in anger. “Thank you for your help, I wouldn’t have known how to detoxify without it.” The demonic cultivator: “…Blergh!” He vomited three liters of blood, then died! (A xianxia story with no romance, everyone please support it~)

I Rely on Caution to Cultivate to Immortality Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on I Rely on Caution to Cultivate to Immortality
"I Rely on Caution to Cultivate to Immortality" certainly took me on a ride. Going into it, I was expecting a fairly lighthearted comedy, something fun and quirky. What I found was a far more complex and, at times, brutal story than I anticipated. While the premise of a cautious protagonist is definitely present, the novel delves into some surprisingly dark themes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the unique setup and the promise of a clever, resourceful female lead. The early chapters did a great job of establishing the protagonist's cautious nature and the foundation of her upbringing. The relationship between the MC and her mother was also immediately compelling, and I appreciated the depth given to their bond.
What Works Well
The world-building is definitely a strong point. It presents moral problems that have no clear answers. I found myself pondering the implications of the choices the characters made, even when those choices were born out of necessity or caution. The author does a great job of making you feel the weight of the decisions and the helplessness that often accompanies them. Also, the author portrayed the MC's mother very well and made her very likeable.
Areas of Concern
I did find myself getting frustrated with the pacing at times. There's a lot of mystery woven into the narrative, but the answers felt slow in coming. I sometimes wanted the MC to be more proactive, to take more initiative rather than constantly reacting to the strange situations she found herself in. The lack of planning ahead made the MC seem less cautious than the title would have you believe. Also, certain characters seemed to be inconsistent, making it hard to get attached to them.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Rely on Caution to Cultivate to Immortality" is a novel that defies easy categorization. It's a blend of xianxia, mystery, and even horror elements, with a strong emphasis on moral dilemmas and character relationships. While the pacing and occasional inconsistencies can be frustrating, the unique premise, compelling world-building, and well-developed characters, especially the female lead and her mother, make it a worthwhile read for those who are looking for something a little different in the cultivation genre. I'd say it's a solid 4/5 stars. Just be prepared for a darker, more emotionally challenging story than you might expect.
