My Thoughts on Returning after 10000 Years Cultivation
Alright, let's dive into "Returning after 10000 Years Cultivation." After spending some time with this novel, I have some mixed feelings. It's definitely a story with potential, but some significant issues hold it back from reaching its full potential.
First Impressions
The premise is immediately appealing: a protagonist returning to modern times after a millennia of cultivation. The initial chapters hooked me with the promise of an underestimated powerhouse navigating the mundane world. I was ready for some classic face-slapping and a satisfying power fantasy.
What Works Well
When the story focuses on the protagonist's cultivation journey and his interactions with the modern world, it shines. The early parts of the novel deliver on the expected power fantasy, with satisfying moments of the MC showing off his abilities and surprising those around him. There's a certain addictive quality to the "weak to strong" trope, and this novel initially scratches that itch pretty well. I found myself enjoying the protagonist's journey and was eager to see him grow stronger.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, several elements detract from the experience. The translation quality is a major issue, with inconsistencies in gender pronouns that can be confusing and jarring. This makes it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story and follow the plot. There are also pacing issues that make the story drag. The author also seems to lean heavily into nationalistic and, at times, racist tropes, particularly when characters from other countries are introduced. The constant portrayal of one nation as the underdog, while others are painted as antagonists, feels heavy-handed and, frankly, distasteful. It's a recurring theme that becomes tiresome and significantly diminishes my enjoyment. I found it hard to connect with the characters when these issues are present.
Final Verdict
"Returning after 10000 Years Cultivation" is a novel with a promising premise that, unfortunately, falls short in execution. While the initial chapters offer some enjoyable moments of power fantasy, the poor translation and questionable writing choices ultimately make it a difficult read. The novel has potential, but these issues need to be addressed before I can wholeheartedly recommend it. For now, I'd suggest approaching this one with caution.
