My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World

My Thoughts on My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World

"My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World" is quite the ride! Diving into this web novel felt like stepping into a vast, sprawling xianxia universe, brimming with cultivation, reincarnation, and just a touch of the unexpected. It's a story that kept me engaged, even when I felt a little lost in its intricate web of plotlines.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a reborn protagonist, Jing Yue, who gets a second shot at cultivation after being a legendary figure in his past life. The early chapters set the stage nicely, hinting at a grand adventure filled with face-slapping moments (which, let's be honest, are always satisfying in a xianxia). I was also intrigued by the slow-burn romance aspect, knowing that the love interest, Qin Yanzhi, wouldn't appear until much later.

What Works Well

What truly shines in this novel is the world-building. The author has crafted a detailed and imaginative cultivation world with its own lores and rules. I found myself enjoying the progression of the story, and it was satisfying to see the main character progress. Also, the relationship between Jing Yue and Qin Yanzhi, while slow to develop, is ultimately rewarding. Their interactions are sweet and genuine, and they make a compelling power couple. The humor injected into the story is also a great addition, preventing the story from becoming too serious.

Areas of Concern

While the expansive plot is a strength, it can also be a weakness. At times, the story felt episodic, jumping from one arc to another without fully exploring certain skills or plot points. The side characters, while likable, often felt underdeveloped and quickly forgotten. I also felt that the story drags on for too long and I was not satisfied with the character development of the MC as the story progresses.

Final Verdict

Overall, "My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World" is a worthwhile read for fans of xianxia novels with a BL subplot. While it has its flaws, the strengths of the world-building, character development, and slow-burn romance outweigh the weaknesses. If you're looking for a long, immersive cultivation story with plenty of action, humor, and heartfelt moments, then this might just be your cup of tea. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
