Description
“I’ve said it repeatedly—this isn’t freeloading; it’s called fate!” Lin Mo declared. A thousand years ago, a game called Post-Primordial Era merged with reality, and Earth Yuan Star entered an age of grand cultivation. In this world of cultivation, where geniuses are as common as dogs and Children of Destiny are everywhere, Lin Mo was just an average high school senior preparing for the Immortal Exam. He had no background, no power, and couldn’t even outcompete others academically. So, faced with a choice between nurturing fish and fishing, he chose the wooden fish. Between morality and immorality, he chose virtue. From that day forward, pressing 1 to strike the wooden fish earned him virtue points, letting him live a carefree, reclining life. Cultivation realm too low before the Immortal Exam? Spells too hard to practice? Your Daoist arts too mundane? … Lin Mo stretched lazily and gazed at the ruins of the Old Heavenly Court above the Nine Heavens. The Heavenly Dao is shattered, and the gods and Buddhas have all fallen? No problem. Let me crack my knuckles and rebuild the glory of the Heavenly Court!

My Thoughts on Press 1 for Virtue Points: I’m Really Not a Child of Destiny
Okay, let's dive into "Press 1 for Virtue Points: I’m Really Not a Child of Destiny." This title alone promised a wild ride, and after spending some time with it, I can say it mostly delivers. It's a blend of fantasy, xianxia, and slice-of-life with a healthy dose of comedic undertones, which is right up my alley.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the premise. A reincarnated protagonist with a system that grants him virtue points? Sounds like a recipe for instant power-up shenanigans, right? Well, it's a little more nuanced than that. The early chapters do give off that vibe, making you think our MC can just coast to victory by pressing a button, but the story quickly reveals its depth.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most is how the author balances the "cheat" aspect with genuine struggle. The protagonist isn't some naturally gifted prodigy; he's got average talent in a world teeming with geniuses. This means he actually has to work hard to keep up, even with his system. The virtue points are a tool, not a free pass, and the limitations placed on them force him to be strategic. I also enjoyed the comedic elements sprinkled throughout the story. The author does a great job of using humor to lighten the mood without undermining the overall plot.
Areas of Concern
My biggest gripe, and it's a minor one, is the pacing. There are moments where the story drags a bit, especially when the MC is trying to figure out how to best utilize his cheat. It can feel a little repetitive at times.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Press 1 for Virtue Points: I’m Really Not a Child of Destiny" is an enjoyable read. It's not a perfect story, but it offers a fresh take on the reincarnation trope, with a system that's both powerful and limited. If you're looking for a xianxia novel with a comedic edge and a protagonist who actually has to work for his power, then this one is definitely worth checking out. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
