Path of Lazy Immortal #2
Inheritance
What is the use of knowing the future when destiny won’t let you use that knowledge?
Gifted with knowledge of the future, Li Wei’s path should be an easy one, right?
But when the future doesn’t behave as it’s supposed to, plans are derailed and things change.
Faced with a challenge against the Li clan, Wei must alter his plans and find a way to solve the situation at hand, but a new path taken is a path not yet explored.
Thrown into a bad situation, Wei must use his knowledge of the future and his powers to fight an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.
Will he succeed? Or give up for an easy way out?
Alchemy, secret realms, more Overpowered Array Shenanigans, and slapping young masters right and left. And of course, one awesome system to rule them all.

Fun book but it felt too much like the first book. I worry that things will become formulaic like some cultivation novels. The MC has future knowledge but that knowledge doesn’t help him much as I feel like it should. Most of his successes comes lucky circumstances and I wonder how many more he can have.

Losing me. Too much cultivation theory, not enough story line
While the story is still interesting its getting harder to read because 80% of the writing is cultivation theory mumbo jumbo, using flowery language. He jumped from layer 3 refinement cultivation level to Layer 9 qi foundation realm and was using basic sword strike and mad elephant stomp. This was against Tian Chi who was using using wood splitting sword attacks then the MC was blindsided by an artifact attack while circulating his qi under pressure from 3x gravity. Then he gets snatched away by a spirit orb. Next he has entire conversations for 10 minutes while adversarial beasts wait patiently before attacking, during which time he’s circulating his qi 9x.
Nearly every character is an adversary except for the 2 women. Including his own father & members of his clan. Only is grandfather is not against him and he ignored him for years. The cultivators are all arrogant greedy jerks, looking out for number one and happy to kill or punish for breathing too close to them.
The story line is being sacrificed on the alter of cultivation theory so much that its just like…. 7th level foundation realm trying to become a Bone baptism realm cultivator at the Legendary Houtain realm while using the Blood earth force divine ability. Blah blah blah blah blah!
He also keeps pulling out forbidden techniques based on his past life. Ok, but the way its written and the frequency that he does this feel like a cheat.
Then there’s the system. The author never mentions what the system is though its his major asset that absorbs energy, facilitates upgrades and unlocks techniques.
The story is just getting difficult to read. Im done!!

Something is off. The authors copy the worst parts of the cultivation genre by repeating things over and over. Then there is a bunch of inconsistencies.
The book did end okay. The protagonist was no longer a carpet, beat up powerful people, and gained power.
So I will probably pick up the sequel. I just hope we don't have to go through slog after slog again.
3/5 Stars

I like this story but it has problems
It feels like the author didn’t know where he was going with the story and just keep adding stuff that sounded cool only to back peddle when it didn’t work if you cut out all the stuff that straight up didn’t matter to the story you would cut the book in half hell you could get rid of the entire time/Dimension travel part and it wouldn’t change the story at all

Wish I could like it.
Ok so the story is really good and the story telling is very engaging. However for how Op the MC is supposed to be he is constantly getting trashed. Also a huge problem I have with this series is everytime there is a big fight or majore situation it always goes half solved or it gets solved in a way that is very unsatisfactory for the reader. I could tolerate it for the first book but the second just kept getting worse and worse.

Much better than the first book
It's much better than the first book. I had some issues with the book, but just like the first book, something made me push through this as well.
When it came to the last act, it was a banger. I didn't expect the kills or sacrifices from this book. Until then, I thought Wei's family would also have plot armour. But he did not.
I will read the next book in the series for sure.

Full of terrible English and the plot is constantly forgotten
The basic plot is interesting, but the English is badly translated to the point of it not making sense and minor points in the plot are forgotten within a few sentences and contradicted, which is just lazy writing and evidence of no proof reading

Brilliant
Wuxia with a difference. Mostly clean of typos and other grammar related issues that plague most of this genre. More breathtaking fighting scenes,last second saves, arrays with alchemy and cultivation progression . Need the next one please

Entertaining But Lots of Editing Errors
Entertaining story. Sometimes it’s predictable, but it still manages to have some surprises as well. There are a lot (and I mean a lot) of editing errors.

Great story, editing problems.
Just like in book one the story is good, but there are a number of editing problems. I submitted no less than 20 issues as content errors. These ranged from spelling and grammar errors to plot errors.

I couldn’t put it down
Really good. Better than book 1. I love the “system” as it introduces a bit of sci fi (another genre I like). This story is not as repetitive as other cultivation novels. The power ups flow naturally with the story line. Excellent

Loved it
Fast paced page turner that I couldn't put down. I stayed up late at night trying to finish it. I immediately preordered book three.

Not a bad read
Not a bad read but jumps about a bit and can get a bit confusing at times but I put this down to the translation

Im not sure why i read this..

These are fine. I don’t know why they went with ‘lazy immortal’ though. He mentions about once per book that after he’s done with all this stuff he’ll definitely be lazy. But he isn’t!

Horrifically bad translation. Though I'm not even sure it's the translation, or the story itself...
