## My Thoughts on Snake Immortal: The Tale of a Snake’s Cultivation to Immortality I've been diving into the world of web novels for quite some time now, and "Snake Immortal" definitely offered a unique experience. The premise alone – a snake cultivating to immortality – immediately grabbed my attention. After reading a fair amount, I've gathered my thoughts on this ongoing xianxia adventure. ### First Impressions Right off the bat, I was intrigued by the non-human protagonist. It's a refreshing change from the typical arrogant young masters that populate the genre. The initial chapters do a great job of establishing the snake's sentience and his journey into cultivation. It felt like a solid start to a potentially great story. ### What Works Well The story's pacing is undeniably fast. While some might see this as a drawback, I found it quite enjoyable. It keeps the narrative moving forward, preventing it from getting bogged down in unnecessary details. The action scenes are frequent and well-written, and the occasional downtime provides a welcome respite. What I particularly appreciated was the author's use of humor, especially at the beginning, where they playfully poke fun at common xianxia tropes. I also liked that the side characters feel relevant and the author includes side POVs and meetings between them. ### Areas of Concern The rapid pacing, while engaging, does come at a cost. I felt that the story lacks some depth and detail in certain areas. While there is an overarching plot, its development could be more fleshed out. This can lead to a sense of repetition at times. I also felt like the plot could use more side developments and mysteries. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning There is a minor spoiler regarding the snake eating reincarnated characters in the beginning. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Snake Immortal: The Tale of a Snake’s Cultivation to Immortality" is a fun and engaging read. The unique premise, fast pacing, and likeable protagonist make it stand out in the xianxia genre. While it may lack some depth and complexity, it more than makes up for it with its action, humor, and refreshing take on cultivation. If you're looking for a lighthearted and entertaining novel with a non-human MC, I recommend giving this one a try.
