My Thoughts on My Journey to Immortality Begins with Hunting
I dove into "My Journey to Immortality Begins with Hunting" with a healthy dose of curiosity, given the premise. This web novel promised a blend of action, adventure, and the ever-popular cultivation elements, all wrapped up in a Xuanhuan package. After spending some time with it, here are my thoughts.
First Impressions
Initially, I found the setting intriguing. The early chapters introduce us to the protagonist and his starting point, a humble village. The groundwork is laid for a world steeped in cultivation and danger. However, I did notice some initial reservations about the portrayal of certain societal elements, specifically concerning the treatment of women in the early parts of the story.
What Works Well
As I progressed, the novel began to shine in several key areas. The cultivation system is a definite highlight. It feels original and well-thought-out, with each breakthrough carrying real weight and adding to the overall mystery. I also appreciated the author's apparent effort to subvert common genre tropes. The characters, particularly the stronger ones, are portrayed as intelligent and driven, avoiding the pitfalls of arrogant young masters and repetitive revenge cycles. The pacing, world-building, and character relationships are clearly given considerable attention, leading to a more immersive experience. The dynamic between the protagonist and his first wife, in particular, stands out.
Areas of Concern
While the novel has many strengths, I can't ignore the issues some readers have raised about the initial portrayal of women. The early chapters may be difficult for some to stomach, given the depiction of potentially sensitive topics. It's worth noting that this seems to be concentrated in the earlier sections, and the story evolves beyond this as it progresses.

Final Verdict
"My Journey to Immortality Begins with Hunting" is a novel with both strengths and weaknesses. While the early sections might be off-putting for some due to its portrayal of certain societal elements, the later development of the cultivation system, the intelligent characters, and the subversion of common tropes make it a worthwhile read for those seeking a unique take on the genre. Just be prepared for a potentially challenging start before the story truly finds its footing.
