The Abandoned Young Master Cultivates Immortality

Gao Han, a cultivator and an assassin from an underground organization from future Earth, accidentally died during a mission when another planet collided with the planet he was having his mission on. His soul travelled to the Latter age of the Dharma Era on earth, and when he opened his eyes, he was already in the body of a Young Master with the same name as him, who died from a Qi deviation orchestrated by his own family. Not only did his height shrink, becoming short, and poor, he was also an abandoned child of the family who was very close to dying– or should be said, plotted against to die in behalf of his cousin. Coming from the future, he knew that the current Earth would soon face it’s demise, so he needed to cultivate earnestly to get back his strength and leave the current Earth or else having gotten a second chance of life would just be in vain if he dies here again…. However, how could he do so? The current Earth lacks spiritual energy for him to cultivate and even the air could poison people. It seemed that there was no hope in life: Aiyah, just kill him lah? ****** Zaki had taken the liberty to edit the synopsis as it was really so short. The synopsis in raws was enough in Chinese but not if translated in English: (the so-called ‘lost in translation’, no fault of the Author)

## My Thoughts on The Abandoned Young Master Cultivates Immortality "The Abandoned Young Master Cultivates Immortality" is a completed original xianxia novel that I decided to dive into, and I have mixed feelings about it. It has some genuinely enjoyable aspects, but also some quirks that held it back from being a truly great read. ### First Impressions The premise is intriguing: a transmigration story with cultivation, action, and a yaoi pairing. I was immediately drawn to the promise of a power couple dynamic and the blend of martial arts and fantasy. The early chapters did a decent job of setting the stage, but I quickly realized that the pacing and focus could be a bit uneven. ### What Works Well The central relationship between the MC, Gao Han, and the ML, Zhongli Tingzhou, is undeniably a highlight. Their dynamic is a mix of stoicism and playful bickering, which I found endearing. The ML's tendency to act like a "drama queen" added a fun, comedic element to their interactions. I also appreciated the character growth, as they navigate the cultivation world and face various challenges together. The plot follows their journey from Earth to a cultivation world and then even to a galaxy where the MC lived in his first life. The couple is OP and it is nice to see how they deal with various fights. ### Areas of Concern One of my main issues was the excessive focus on minor characters and their repetitive commentary. It felt like a significant portion of the story was dedicated to the thoughts and opinions of "cannon fodder" characters who ultimately had little impact on the overall plot. This detracted from the main storyline and became quite frustrating. Another issue I faced was with the MC's assassin background not being explored enough. I also found the plot to be predictable at times. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviewers pointed out plot inconsistencies. For instance, the paradox of humanity's presence in the MC's original galaxy despite the couple saving Earth from destruction. Another point was that the monster invaders in the MC's galaxy wasn't completely wrapped up. Additionally, the novel touches on political topics, which some readers found uncomfortable and hypocritical. ### Final Verdict Overall, "The Abandoned Young Master Cultivates Immortality" is a decent read, but it's not without its flaws. The relationship between the MC and ML is a strong point, and the overall plot offers a mix of action, adventure, and cultivation. However, the pacing issues, excessive focus on minor characters, and occasional plot inconsistencies detract from the experience. I'd recommend it with reservations, especially if you're looking for a fun yaoi pairing with cultivation elements and are willing to overlook some of the narrative shortcomings.
