Ascension Simulation #2
Ascension Simulation 2: A Western Xianxia Isekai Cultivation Novel
Thanks to the secret of the Inner Genesis Realm, Lin Xu has clawed his way into the Celestial Wind Sect — but survival will demand far more than entry.
Burning through spirit stones at a terrifying pace, Lin Xu uses the centuries of accelerated time inside his inner world to refine martial techniques, perfect alchemy, and unravel the mysteries of forging new spiritual roots. He must unlock all six before the brutal Gale Void Scripture — a cultivation technique designed to kill anyone unworthy — tears him apart during Foundation Establishment.
But Lin Xu’s meteoric rise does not go unnoticed. While his brilliance wins him new allies among the Celestial Wind Sect’s peaks, it also paints a target on his back — attracting the envy of peers, the suspicion of sect leaders, and the attention of enemies far more sinister than Chen Tao.
The higher Lin Xu climbs, the more dangerous the game becomes. In a sect where talent can be both shield and curse, every spirit stone spent and every technique learned could be the difference between ascension… and annihilation.

For some reason, Kai Tunjing becomes Shi Linglong in this book.
Also, the Sect Leader's name has shortened from Yuanshen Zhenren to simply Yuanshen. Unfortunately, Lin Jebiao's master Grand Elder Lin Dhangvu has also had her name changed to Yuanshen, so only careful reading of context and pronouns can differentiate the two.
Lin Xu creates a fake ancient magic item, and invents a back story for it. We are told this multi-paragraph back story no less than four times in its entirety. Too much for a throw-away McGuffin item. The overall narrative needs a good editor to tighten it up.

cool, but slow
I love the thought of having an inner world in your soul where you can practice cultivation and test new ideas.
Loved how the foundation was laid for tons of cool potential in book 1. Just felt like the progression of this idea in book 2 went stale. No new ideas or thoughts were introduced other than a little crafting. Sure hope the author explores the potential of this idea more in the next book.

So very slow
The books in this series are so painfully slow. 1) Almost nothing important happens in this whole book. 2) The internal dialog is bonkers. A line of spoken words, seven pages of internal dialog, then another spoken line. 3) The MC is kind of an ass. While others seem genuinely helpful and straight forward, the MC lies, cheats, scams, etc. It's hard to like him.

Simulated xianxia
An interesting mix of mostly low stake interactions interspersed with unique, high stake combat magic. With the threat if imminent death hovering, this tale nicely mixes cultivation worth the art of a gifted con man.
