Description
On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage. The immortal sects refused to accept him. The path to eternal life seemed forever closed. Coincidentally, the Demonic Sect was collecting s*aves from across the lands, those with poor aptitude, branding them as “Spirit s*aves”. They used a forbidden cultivation art that burned lifespan as fuel, raising numerous batches of expendable materials. These s*aves would sacrifice their own cultivation to produce spiritual sand, a resource consumed by the Demonic Sect. Wang Yu, captured from Stone Lake City, was taken to the demonic lands. As a spirit s*ave, he entered the demonic path. Fortunately, he possessed the mysterious [Idle Slot] , which could solve many of his problems! —— Bloodburn Art (0/100): Train 48 sessions per day; achieve mastery in one year. Note: (The introduction can’t do it justice—please read the main story.)

My Thoughts on Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation
Alright, let's dive into "Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation." This title certainly grabbed my attention, and I went in hoping for a unique take on the xianxia genre. After spending some time with it, here are my thoughts.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The premise is classic underdog, but with a demonic twist. I always enjoy a story where the protagonist has to overcome a massive disadvantage, and a "wasted spiritual root" definitely qualifies. The early chapters had a good pace and introduced an interesting world with plenty of potential for adventure.
What Works Well
The first couple hundred chapters were genuinely entertaining. The author does a solid job of establishing the protagonist's struggles and the challenges he faces as he embraces demonic cultivation. I found myself invested in his journey and eager to see how he would navigate the cultivation world with his unique circumstances. The initial world-building was also engaging, and the magic system was intriguing.
Areas of Concern
However, as I progressed further, I started to notice some pacing issues. The story seemed to get bogged down in exposition and drawn-out character POVs that didn't always feel essential to the main plot. There were sections where I felt like I was slogging through numerous chapters without much significant progress. This made it difficult to stay fully engaged, and my interest started to wane. I think the author could benefit from streamlining the narrative and focusing more on the protagonist's actions and development.
Final Verdict
"Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation" has a strong foundation and a lot of potential. The initial chapters are genuinely captivating, and the premise is intriguing. However, the pacing issues and excessive exposition in the later chapters detract from the overall experience. If the author can address these concerns, this could easily become a top-tier xianxia novel. As it stands, it's a decent read, but it requires some patience. I'd give it a tentative recommendation, but with a word of caution about the later chapters.
