Calculating Cultivation - Book 1

No Spoilers-ISH.

Truly fascinating story. If anyone ever wanted to comprehend the minute details on cultivation, this book is for YOU! Every aspect is detailed to the finest extent possible. From resources needed (to the last penny!) and so on. Even how many minutes and or seconds needed to cultivate is thoroughly explored. The journey Yuan Zhou goes on is a detailed guide - if viewing it analytically. That aside, which is a lot, the story does contain my fascinating characters and good amount of action. Be warned though, the detailing is extensive. DRmz 5-17-26

Great story

I enjoyed this story currently reading this on royal road. Excited for book two to come out on audible

Endurance

The peformance is fine, not the best but just ok. I read this book when he was writeing royalroad and loved it. When I seen it pop up here, I had to get it as away to pay him back.

20% interesting 80% boring.

While the voice actor was great, they can only do so much. The interesting characters and setting was smothered by pages, not paragraphs, pages of technical details and theoretical naval gazing about said details.
The main character who is supposed to be reincarnated does not act as a person from our a modern world at all outside of some ideas. there were several times i've completely i forgot this as it was rarely brought up and the character president acted as if he completely belonged in that age and time.
the character is obsessed with not dying, but he actually doesn't live at all. He does have a few moments with his sister that makes him sort of human, but everything is distant and transactional. what is the purpose of immortality when you don't have a life?
