## My Thoughts on Immortal Father "Immortal Father" promised a blend of action, adventure, comedy, and xianxia, a combination I always find intriguing. With the added hook of multiple transported individuals and a focus on family, I dove in hoping for a fresh take on the cultivation genre. While the novel has some potential, it ultimately didn't fully capture my attention. ### First Impressions The premise is certainly unique: a protagonist navigating the xianxia world with his transmigrated father. The initial chapters set the stage for a story about family dynamics in an unfamiliar world, but the execution left me wanting more. I found myself struggling to connect with the characters and become invested in their journey. ### What Works Well The translation quality is a definite highlight. The translator's dedication to delivering consistent, readable chapters is commendable, making the story accessible even when the plot falters. I also appreciate the author's attempt to explore the complexities of family relationships within the xianxia framework. The idea of a father and son navigating the cultivation world together has the potential for heartwarming and humorous interactions. ### Areas of Concern My main concern lies with the pacing and character development. The cultivation system feels somewhat generic, relying on familiar tropes that have been explored extensively in other novels. I also felt that the characters lacked distinct personalities and motivations, making it difficult to form an emotional connection with them. The plot felt aimless, lacking a clear sense of direction or overarching goal. I struggled to find a compelling reason to keep reading. ### Final Verdict "Immortal Father" has a unique premise and a dedicated translator, but ultimately falls short in terms of character development, plot pacing, and originality. While the idea of a transmigrated father-son duo navigating the xianxia world is intriguing, the execution needs further refinement to truly shine. I wouldn't say skip it entirely, but I'd approach it with tempered expectations.
