Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 85 84. Comments on "The Ordinary Senior Brother"

Today, out of curiosity, I tried to read this book and wanted to share it with you.

"The Ordinary Senior Brother", author: Heiye Mitian, level 4 author.

Category: Light Novel-Original Fantasy.

【Introduction】

Lu Changsheng felt very uncomfortable.

Travel through the world of immortals and have the face of a protagonist.

She has an extraordinary temperament and fascinates everyone.

Breaking through the realm will bring about strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

Reciting a poem can shock scholars all over the world.

Just quoting a few sentences from the Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, and the Huangting Sutra will cause a shower of flowers, brilliant rays of light, and auspicious offerings from divine beasts.

Just go out and gain some experience, and your mount will come to you uninvited, and you'll find a magic weapon every ten steps.

However, under this setting.

Lu Changsheng couldn't believe that he was just mediocre in his cultivation.

This book is also known as "He's the protagonist, but he's a waste of practice", "Why am I so handsome, but my practice is so bad, and you are so ugly, but your practice is so good", "I don't want to live this kind of handsome life for even a day"

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One, Daluo Sacred Land. Zhongzhou Sacred Land, Daluo Immortal Palace. Brother Jieyin was explaining the sect's situation to the newcomers. After introducing the tenth to second brothers, everyone noticed that the first brother hadn't been introduced. Where's the eldest brother? Qilinzi!
Chapter Two: This person should only exist in heaven. Lu Changsheng is Qilinzi. He traveled here three years ago, and the various sect leaders scrambled to capture him. Finally, he entered the Daluo Immortal Palace and became the master of the sect. He was gifted with all sorts of rare treasures, pushing him to the early stages of Qi Refining, the lowest level in the world of immortal cultivation. But his passive is powerful, a pseudo-enlightenment state. Every time he breaks through the heavens and the earth, strange phenomena occur. And he's incredibly handsome! Incredibly handsome.

Chapter 3: The world is full of geniuses. The protagonist is secretly heartbroken when his master comes to see him and tells him he will become the sect's senior apprentice. The master knows the protagonist's qualifications are poor, but he also tells him that senior apprenticeship doesn't require strength, just looks. He's handsome, lucky, and has supporters protecting him, so he's a sure bet.

Chapter 4, Five-Colored Golden Lotus. The second-ranked Master Ziyun visits the protagonist and presents him with a five-colored golden lotus. Ziyun, enamored with the protagonist's looks, is practically mindless. Not only does she ask the protagonist to call her "Junior Sister," but she also learns that he will become the Senior Brother, making them an even better match. She's off to explore the mystery, and asks: If you don't come back, will you miss me?

Chapter 5: Learn alchemy and live a good life. The protagonist, having a brain cramp, righteously refuses the sacred medicine offered by his junior sister, but this only wins her heart. Feeling regretful, he decides to learn some skills to solidify his position as the eldest brother. So, he decides to learn alchemy, starting with reading.

Chapter 6, Daluo Palace. The Daluo Grand Festival begins tomorrow, and the protagonist will be crowned the Grand Master of one of the ten great sects. He also happened to have scribbled dozens of untested prescriptions and casually handed them to his talkative junior. He climbed the ladder to heaven on his own, exhausted as a dog. And the Master was waiting for him!
Chapter 7: Junior Apprentice Liu Qingfeng. The protagonist knows nothing, so his master arranges for a guide. This young man is a second-generation descendant of the sect, a young boy. The grand event begins, and the protagonist only needs to follow the junior apprentice. The junior apprentice has just failed on a blind date, earning ridicule from the sect leader and others. As the protagonist leaves, he expresses concern and keeps asking how many fields and houses the young apprentice has.

Chapter 8: Do you know what realm Senior Brother is at? The protagonist's realm is impenetrable to outsiders. The younger junior constantly questions the protagonist's realm, and to outdo him, the protagonist boasts a bit. He's only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. The younger junior leaves dejectedly, encounters a competitor, and after being ridiculed, reveals that Senior Brother has reached the Spiritual Transformation stage. Thus, rumors naturally spread.

Chapter 9: The eldest brother will ascend tomorrow. As expected, keeping secrets is often just nonsense. The protagonist's realm has been passed down from the Nascent Soul stage to a realm where he can ascend directly at tomorrow's ceremony.

Chapter 10: I treated you like a senior brother, and you treated me like a fool. The news finally reached the headmaster, and the various hall masters, his fellow disciples, came to plead for mercy, out of consideration for their descendants. They hoped to send their children to learn immortal arts from the protagonist, to absorb his divine energy. The headmaster suddenly realized that he, too, could not fathom the protagonist's realm. Perhaps, that possibility really existed.

【Brief Comment】

This book was published on December 12 last year and was put on the shelves on February 11 this year. It received 11,000 first-order orders, surpassing Zhaizhu's "Linyuanxing" and becoming the first-order champion so far this year.

This book now has 39 collections on Qidian.com, 11 collections on Bookstore, and 98 fans.

There are 37 alliance leaders and 1 silver alliance member.

These are the grades.

As for the story, it's actually quite interesting.

The protagonist is also a regular time traveler.

Daluo Immortal Palace is one of the ten great immortal cultivation sects, and the protagonist's aptitude is mediocre. He has just entered the initial stage of Qi Refining after three years.

What makes him extraordinary is his immortal-like appearance, which has fascinated thousands of immortal cultivators.

He exuded a celestial aura as he walked, a result of his passive skill. The avenue of enlightenment surrounded him, and he seemed to be in a state of enlightenment at any moment. His realm, if he didn't speak of it, was unfathomable to anyone.

But he really doesn't have a golden finger, and he doesn't have the help of his grandfather or the system, so his strength is there.

But just based on these characteristics, the love of the headmaster, the admiration of the second senior sister, and his outrageous words, people spread rumors.

He became an immortal who was about to ascend to heaven.

You can compare it with Jing Jiu in "The Great Way to Heaven", but Jing Jiu is really capable.

And Li Changsheng is really unremarkable.

Let’s talk about writing style.

There are still quite a few jokes, and modern people's thinking is far better than these immortals.

Especially when he pretends to be profound, it makes people believe it.

Of course, we're just inside the gate right now.

I believe that when he goes down the mountain to travel and encounters danger, someone may jump out and expose his true strength.

However, by then, there will definitely be other people to help cover for us.

If the protagonist becomes the leader in such an ordinary way, many flaws will be revealed over time.

In short, it was still very exciting before it was put on the shelves.

【Cang's Ramblings】

After reading this book, I actually felt very complicated.

So, I'd better tell the truth.

From here on, some of the more offensive truths begin.

It probably started in the second half of last year, no, it should have started in 2018.

Many big names from other sites have joined the rankings, pretending to be newcomers and coveting the title of Rookie King.

In the light novel category alone, there are many big names whose true identities have been exposed on major platforms.

Perhaps due to contract issues with the previous employer, the pen name cannot be taken away.

They came to the starting point, pretending to be newcomers, pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic.

After achieving success and fame, some people become arrogant and begin to show their true colors.

As an author myself, I also know that writing is not easy. It is normal to look pitiful when the work is put on the shelves and ask for subscriptions.

But the latest chapter is the same, and the author pretends to be a newcomer even more exaggeratedly.

Qidian’s readers are all veterans.

The title of Chapter 10 is quite ironic.

The plot is starting to get sloppy, the author is starting to drift, and the prospects are not good.

I advise the author to speak more honestly and not think about so many magical operations.

Only good works can retain people!

Come on~
