Notes: The first part reminds me so much of the seinen manhwa "Return of the Blossoming Blade" as the beginning was almost exactly the same: old expert dies during a calamity, gets rebirthed, returns to his clan to redevelop the clan's glory. "Return" does not have romance at all (at least from the season 1 I finished). So if you're the type to really like xianxia novels with a lot of fantasy fight scenes, "My Legend" is for you. I don't mind the lack of romance, since I'm always after a really good story first. I even sometimes think romance drags a good action series down, which is why I love the fact that this has been minimized. (E.g. I remember that sometimes I cringed whenever the series "Soul Land" focused on the protagonist's love story lol. Thankfully there were many ships in that one, even among the villains, so that I won't end up vomitting from the overdosage of saccharine from the main couple.)
I knocked down one point because the final battle was a bit dragging for me (like there were multiple Deus EXs on both sides of the battle), and then it just ended without any details about who survived and who didn't. Or whatever happened to the world after that tough three chapters. Author went straight to writing 3 AU extras. Like. HEY. After going through 200+ chapters, I need proper closure.

English name: My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World
This is essentially a long cultivation story with some romance, but overall the romance parts are relatively light and the focus of the story is on the growth of the main character, Jing Yue, and later on, how the righteous cultivators fight against the bad guys. Because it's primarily a cultivation story, I wouldn't recommend this to everyone. If you like this genre or shounen-type stories where the MC gets progressively stronger like I do, then you'd probably like this. Otherwise don't bother.
The story follows our MC as he is reborn into a new body but retains all of his memories from 10,000 years ago. Partially because of the circumstances of his rebirth that lead to him having a stronger body and partially because of his knowledge, he's able to advance faster than most cultivators. It was hilarious seeing all the elders and even the patriarchs of the Frostcloud Sect address a ten year old as "laozu" and "shizun".
Normally I enjoy this type of story, but I felt like this one had too many other worlds / secret realms/ towers, etc., and the MC was constantly trying to find his way through one realm or another. What this means is that there were a lot of illusions or experiences where the author has to quickly explain the world setting and the MC's identity there, and it just got old after a while. There are even secret realms within secret realms, which I've never seen before, like when the main characters first go to the Middle Ages secret realm and somehow end up in the Torrential Realm within there.
Also, the ending came super quickly and felt really rushed. The author easily could've written one more chapter about how they defeated the ultimate bad guy, but instead it went by so quickly in the last 1/3 of the last chapter I was like, "That's it??". I thought the three extra chapters at the end would flesh things out a bit more, but they were completely unrelated to the main story. It really felt like the author got tired of writing this story and decided to end it abruptly and it was all very anti-climactic.
Despite all of my complaints, I did enjoy this book overall. It was fun watching Jing Yue improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds, and there was a decent amount of face slapping as well, especially at the beginning when everyone underestimates the MC because of his age. The romance, while it wasn't a huge part of the story initially, was done well, and the author is able to come up with a reasonable explanation why the aloof and cold ML started liking Jing Yue. In the last part of the story, after the MC realizes his feelings, there are some sweeter moments between them which was enough to satisfy me.
The story moves fast and there's always something going on, so I never got bored. There were so many times when I told myself I'd stop reading after one mini arc wrapped up. However, the author jumps right into the next mini arc without any transitional chapters, so I'd keep on reading for longer than intended because there was never a good stopping point. Some arcs I liked more than others. I didn't like the Haotian Realm part because it felt like it dragged on longer than I would've liked, but I enjoyed the arc where they infiltrated the Yao world and the ML pretended to be Jing Yue's "wife" to fend off the competition XP
Of course, I also have to mention my favorite side character, Jing Yue's pet blue phoenix and son Jiji, who had me chuckling constantly. The blue phoenix is an omniscient race, so Jiji knows about other worlds, including ours, and is constantly referencing common tropes in other cultivation novels XP
Here are some gems:
At this moment, the blue phoenix felt wronged in many ways. Until many years later, at Jing Yue’s marriage ceremony, it finally realized the mistake.
Because, Jing Yue’s Dao partner was a man.
It turned out that Jing-jing was not the male lead of a harem novel, but rather, the gay protagonist of a BL novel...
-----------
Jing Yue rubbed Qin Yanzhi’s head. “Hurry up and eat it.”
Blue phoenix struggled in his arms and cried, “Shameless! Shameless! Jing-jing is mine! Jing-jing belongs to Ji-ji!”
After saying that, it flew on his shoulder, pecking and rubbing against him. Jing Yue waved blue phoenix away without hesitation. The latter complained sadly, “You’re playing favorites! Don’t you love Ji-ji anymore?”
Jing Yue, “…”
Blue phoenix burst into sobs, “Forget it! Ji-ji is just unlucky. Who hasn’t met a few scumbags when they were young?”
-----------
Blue phoenix said anxiously, “Jing-jing, the first mistress of your harem has appeared! As long as you accept her, you’ll be highly valued by the Fox Emperor. With your cultivation and wisdom, you’ll rule over the Yao world one day! After that, you can promote peace between the Yao race and the human race, and let the human race appoint you as the emperor. When the time comes, you can be both the emperor of the Yao and humans, with boundless merits and virtue, and the heavenly Dao will surely acknowledge you! It will help you fly…”
Before the last few words could be spoken, blue phoenix found that it had been thrown into the Sumeru Ring.
-----------
Although the blue phoenix had changed in appearance, and his speech and mannerisms seemed different from the past, his core remained the same. Jing Yue couldn't help but pat the youth on the head.
The youth paused and blushed. He hugged Jing Yue's arm and said childishly, “Ji-ji loves Jing-jing the most! You’re my favorite!”
And Qin Yanzhi, who was neglected by ‘the deep love between father and son’, gazed at them with dark eyes. He suddenly had a premonition—the arch-enemy in his life had finally appeared.

English title: My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World
Uh, this story wasn't very good. My biggest issue would be the pacing but the character and plot development were problematic, if not downright non-existent, too.
In the romance cepartment, I saw a reviewer in NU say that this was "the slowest of slow burn" I disagree. They are together because the plot coftheauthorcof said so. There's no romantic chemistry between this too at all! They fell in love in the halfway mark in a rather tropey way it was also incredible instantaneous. The only reason this is called slow burn is because they become a couple late in the story since, in appearance at least, the author seemed more focused in the plot development.... right.
The plot is quite simple, everything in this book (I kid not) happens because is that js the will of the dao. The end.
Anyway, I have a lot to say but I feel incapable of ranting for too lojg because its obvious that the author is not taking the story very seriously. I'm not being mean, when your cultivation novel is filled with slang and fourth wall breaks via a somewhat omniscient phoenix that is addicted to trash tropes is clear that the aim was to write a satire or a funny BL. Sadly the BL only enters the chat after the chapter 100 of 198. And this chapters are loooong with long time skips and info dumping and filler stuff. To the reviewer that convinced me that the Haotian arc was very important for the plot advancement let me tell you something, 'I hope that your pillow is forever warm on both sides'
The romance didn't "develop" in this arc. This was just used as the catalyst for the instantaneous awakening of the previously non existent affection. I've read danmeis with good couples, this is not one of them.
Edit.
I did keep a quote tho, I read a variation of this quote in Poison Genius Consort. In this book, jiji says this about Wei Zhentu and Ruan Jiu.
"The blue phoenix in his arms sighed and said, 'I liked you back then but you didn't cherish me. Now that I'm emotionless and have no fate with you, you pursue me relentlessly. What a tragedy"
The translation is shitty but the emotion is there. I love an ill fated romance. This two were gold.

A bit repetitive with the amount of sub plots and secret realms, but the jokes were funny and the romance cute.
