## My Thoughts on Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife This novel is definitely a wild ride, and not always in a good way. "Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife" promises a unique xianxia experience, and it delivers...sort of. It’s not your typical cultivation story, and that’s both its strength and its weakness. ### First Impressions Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A protagonist who isn't necessarily heroic, but rather a bit petty and self-serving, trying to build up his family in a cultivation world? That's a refreshing change from the usual goody-two-shoes MC. The early chapters focusing on city-building and accumulating wealth were engaging, and I found myself enjoying the slower pace. ### What Works Well The world-building is a standout. It's not generic, which is high praise in the often-formulaic xianxia genre. The MC, Xia Changge, is more of an adult than many protagonists I've encountered, making his choices and actions feel more believable, even when questionable. The humor is also a plus, making the story a fun, if sometimes guilty, pleasure. The progress of his cultivation is slow at first, but that might be a good thing if you're looking for a more relaxed reading experience. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel stumbles in several areas. The pacing becomes erratic, with random arcs appearing and a lack of tension. The romance, or lack thereof, is a significant issue. The harem aspect escalates rapidly, with dozens of women joining the MC's life with little to no development. This leads to a feeling of shallowness, especially when some of the relationships become… morally ambiguous, to say the least. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Things take a turn for the worse later on. The fellow Daoist's wife, a central figure, suddenly regains a past life as an immortal and attacks the MC before running off. The MC then abandons his family to pursue cultivation in the upper world, which is a major shift in tone and focus. The ending feels rushed and unsatisfying, with plot threads left dangling. ### Final Verdict "Immortal Fate Of Longevity" is a mixed bag. It has moments of brilliance with its unique world-building and flawed protagonist, but it's ultimately dragged down by its pacing issues, shallow romance, and questionable plot developments. I'd recommend reading the first part for its interesting premise and slow-growth elements, but be prepared to drop it if it starts to feel repetitive or the morally ambiguous elements become too much to handle. It's an okay novel, but not one I can wholeheartedly recommend.
