Publisher's summary

Infinite power, infinite danger.

Growing up mortal, I only knew a few things about cultivators. They like their hierarchies, they hate disrespect, and if you leave one out in deep space long enough, they'll go homicidally insane.

It turns out, there's a reason for that. Away from all the gravity wells and biospheres that generate natural energy, things get just quiet enough to notice the infinite ocean of qi entirely incompatible with our own.

I should know. I've seen it.

Only difference is, I didn't go mad. I wasn't a cultivator. Technically, I wasn't even alive.

But now I can sense it. I can touch it.

I can cultivate it.

From the best-selling author of This Trilogy is Broken! and Dungeon Devotee comes the cultivation epic you've been waiting for.

Wow

Eloquent while grounded, philosophically and linguistically. Great world building—a super foundation for a complex and enjoyable epoch that is easy to read and relate to. Emotionally complex situations are tackled quite boldly.

good lead and relatable side characters. villains..ok so far.

loved the world building hopeful for more. the protagonist feels like I could have a beer with and just listen to him talk. side characters are interesting without pulling to much focus. despite that though they still made me care about um. really looking forward to the next book.

Storytelling? Captivating.

Conclusion: the best purchase of my life.

Just wow. A from a surprising source

You feel like you’re in the world. And it’s a world made of poetry. What a shock for a cultivation novel.

Good Cultivation, Better Characters

This book is a great cultivation story, although that's mostly because of the characterizations and interactions. The setting (sci-fi cultivation) is done well and gives a fresh take on sects, and the main character's Way of cultivating nihilism is pretty interesting. Great narration and prose make this quite an enjoyable ride. The ending is a bit off, but not by much, and I will certainly be returning for the sequel.

I recommend this book.

cultivation

I'm not really into cultivation mostly due to not understanding what it is or how it works but it's explained really well. not finished with the book yet but I'm impressed enough to leave a review. also the narrative is awsome. he uses good sound effects that helps with emerson.

Amazing

I say a recommendation somewhere saying the space is a great place for a cultivation story, and they were wrong. Loved the book and am excited for the next!
