Every step on the path of Dao is presented with new question. Question that can change one’s path completely.

Joining Divine Fragrance Palace has propelled Li Wei on the path of alchemy and the path of his Dao.

However, one of the three prominent clans of the Divine Fragrance Palace is in marital relationship with Du clan that he had eliminated, and they don’t take a slap-in-the-face lightly.

From the first step into the sect, Wei is faced with resistance, accusations and enemy he can’t think of overtaking, and with a dear friend from previous life thrown in same trouble, he has to go against all odds to save his and his friends life.

Can Wei overcome the odds? Or give up trying that?

Join for more shenanigans of the system, mind wobbling overpowered alchemy techniques, face slapping, and cunning protagonist.

So horrible

Horrible is the only way to describe how cringe it is to read a mc call a girl ugly, stupid, and all sorts of juvenile names. Horrible is the only thing to call it when in one sentence you describe how powerful a sect is but in the next you show them caving to someone the mc kills at the end when the mc is so much lower lvl than the sect. Horrible is this whole series. Such a waste of time

Poorly translated garbage 🗑

If you go two pages without finding an error, then you're on a hot streak. Everything in this story is one-dimensional. The baddies are bad, just because they're bad. No complex motivations, it's a Chinese power fantasy plain and simple. I think that it's trying to be funny, but the story is incredibly shallow.

A little disappointed in this incomplete story. The title is misleading too. I think he actually got weaker on paper despite fighting multiple people at the Marrow Cleansing Stage. There was emphasis placed on the spiders and nothing happened with them. I’m still enjoying the series but wish that the MC wasn’t such a weakling (cultivation-wise).

The protag is supposed to be striving towards being a "lazy immortal". Yet each book he is putting in more work than usual.

Also for some reason, he is always weakened, so someone he could have defeated with some work, he has to struggle and "go all out" like an anime character. I'm getting annoyed of this crap happening three books in a row.

Badly translated and badly edited but an interesting story

This is the highest number of typos I've ever seen, and it's not just typos, there are entire metaphors that just don't make sense and the writer seems to forget plot points 5 minutes after they happen which is jarring to the reader.
Despite this the actual story is okay.

It feels it lacks direction

The story is still good. It just felt some of the challenges were forced. MC solved one, two problems crop up. He solved 2, three problems comes again. Also will there ever be a conflict where the MC does not end up being half dead, mutilated or unconscious?

Good, But…

Good, but it could use some serious editing. Seems like it was just spell checked and then published. If not, they should have found another set of eyes to read through it.

pretty good

Pretty good but not as good as book 2. I’m really liking this series but too bad there is so much cursing…I’ll have to wait until my son is much earlier before introducing this book to him.

Shity name

Contrary to the strange name, this novels are good. Maybe a little too much obsessed with pain and blood, but.. it's bearable :)
And I like the Dao of Laziness!

Good story

The story was good and there were fewer editing problems than in the previous books, and they were for the most part limited to the beginning of the book.

Grew on me

This series grew on me. An amazing entry into the series, with more world revealed to us. New friends, schemes of enemies, more mysteries. It keeps getting better.
