Can Aiden preserve a people he barely understands and avoid a second death?

Excellent book if not a little short

This is an excellent cultivation novel! The Academy in this book is more or less a sect but presented as what is sect should be and not what is portrayed in many cultivation novels. The what we see is sect in many cultivation novels is what happens after 1000 years of decay. This whole story is refreshing take on that “ join a sect” storyline.

a taste of air force; a feast of cultivation

I like how the best of Air Force-like behavior is manifested in the main characters attitude and personal discipline. If you're looking for action, this isn't your prime piece, but it does have a lot of creative ideas, story progression, and description of cultivation. Also, concepts sound reasonable, rather than hollow, preachy doctrination. Despite "He Who Fights with Monsters" being very preachy, this and that book series are very reasonable, while many are lacking such good sense in this genre.

fantastic story

the story and performance are great. the gist of the story is an airforce cadet dies saving a kid only to die and wake up speaking to a god and what follows is an isekai cultivation journey.

Fun story, great presentation

Can't say much except it's a great story and the performance was a perfect fit.

a great book

I love reading this series and the audio book is just as good. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Great story and told well.

It may be considered a good story for a younger audience but as an middle aged adult, I found it enjoyable too. I was very happy to find the narration was done well. I hope the next books in this series will be put on Audible as well.

Highly enjoyable

What can I say? I enjoyed the book. A lot of people will comment that there are a bunch of stereotypes for this genre of book but I still enjoy them is something I look forward to.

I loved it!

It felt like it was written to a younger audience due to how things were phrased. For example there were numerous statements and descriptions that were written very simplistically. I didn't have a problem with it though, because it was just such a good story and I love the progression!

I am always on the lookout for a good cultivation series and I am very pleased with this book. It has a different terminology on cultivation than a lot of systems I've heard but also has many similarities. There are is just so much good information and explanations. It really made me enjoy the story. I felt like the world the main character is in is well defined and structured and he's learning with in it.

Great story! I'm getting book #2 now!

Best school in a book I’ve read

I’ve read many books that involve a school but they usually have the teachers hating/loving the MC for no reason. The higher class (nobles or upperclassmen) also bully people and the teachers do nothing or just don’t check into it. But this book makes me feel that all people are treated fairly and all get help when asked in this school.

A very long tutorial.

has potential. this one was long winded and slow. I'll probably give the second book a shot. but unless side characters get more rounded out i won't continue past that.
