Qi=MC^2) #3
The 3rd Law of Cultivation
In which we find the laws of the Dao.
A lighthearted story about a guy transmigrated into a Xianxia who decides to make the best of his situation by pursuing his love for Science.
***
The story will not go too deep in real world science and will instead be more about exploring the fundamental laws behind cultivation. Aka, finding the Laws of Cultivation, similar to the Law of Motion etc. There will be a decent amount of "magic science" so if you expect real hard scientific formulas and such, this is not the story for you.

Great story lessened by a annoyingly impulsive and scatterbrained character. The protagonist is an accidental 'parent' who spoils their kid to the point of her frequently causing them near death situations. Anyway, I’m dropping it because I’m feeling more annoyed than entertained at this point. This is still a great novel, just not for me.
Some things I didn’t like:
*This is meant to be about a scientist protagonist who wants to uncover how the world works. Yet there are zero time skips leading to no real ability for the protagonist to learn anything. The protagonist thinks about research ideas but doesn’t seem to ever do much of anything outside of vaguely 'optimizing' drugs.
*The rat who the protagonist adopted as a child after catching her stealing from him. She’s chaos manifested: jumping around, eating his things, stealing from him and others, creating potential antagonists due to stealing from them, and recruiting other animals to invade his lab. This character does everything to hinder the ability of the scientists protagonist and even the synopsis.
*Too many side characters who get their own side quests, backstories, and (admittedly minor) point of views. The science never happens and they are a small part of the reason why.
*This is really just a lighthearted slice of life story with a protagonist who claims to want to understand how the world works but focuses on other things instead. A big issue is his complete lack of focus, he can’t get anything done (beyond deus ex machina) without a firm structured way of thinking and clear linear goals.
I still think this is worth reading as long as you don’t mind these things and aren’t overly interested in the synopsis being accurate.

This series is, for me, unrelatable and to some extent, annoying.
Resones:
1. The writer repeats the same narrative over and over with the aim of just increasing the word count.
2. What is it with MCs that they want to develop earth technology on other planets? be creative.
3. Growth is not making guns and firearms. Civilisation focuses on knowledge, art, politics and commerce, not gun making and pill pushing. MC makes three pills and now creates guns and grenades and calls it progress. WTF. Also, what happened to shealds and their ability to push or stop objects? What happend to Qi barriers.
It's a shame.
I would rather have this story told in one book than become a series of repetitive nonsense.

fun
The MC is now a lord. He leads the sect. And he is growing in power. He writes five books about the natural laws that thrust his people forward towards an industrial revolution. Then he travels to the capital to meet the emperor and see a new Divinity crowned. He holds an auction to tempt people to come to science and gives the five ruling families each one of his books. In the end he learns war is inevitable and that the enemy is growing in power too.
It’s a fun read, with an interesting world build and growing mythos. There’s character growth. Great tie-ins to the series plot with good story progression. The novel’s own plot is unclear, but the story doesn’t suffer for it. Please enjoy.

Well it's official now. As if you couldn't already tell. I love this saga as Lu Jie is ready to make his mark on the world and changing it for ever. Again I'm reminded of the series Cradle by Will Wight as they talk about twin soles and benefits they'll gain when they do that. Lu Jie is willingly sharing his new world technology which is gonna end the stagnation and corruption that's been crippling the countryside. And of course Labby and now Ash, both Lu Jie's spirit beast's find their own path and power up!
Krazekode, Pavi Proczko Bravo! Now just don't just sit on your laurels... go write the next book.
So find the path and read this wonderful series!

Our MC has now come into his own
I liked that the idea of modern physics was revolutionary, in this society, but it wasn’t impossibly devastating against cultivators. I like to believe that people aren’t stupid, and those who work to bend the very laws of nature to their whim have to have some benefit that allows them to mitigate concentrated kinetic energy.
Will Lu Jie be tasked with a more direct way to improve the Empire? Will the two captive Beasts ever be able to be freed, or have they been corrupted?

Lu Jie continues to change the world. He is able to bring our modern knowledge into his world of magic and cultivation, but will it be enough. Can he change things fast enough to save everyone?
We keep hearing about the new demon King and in this one, we finally get to meet him.He is a worthy villain. He seems to be as quick as Lu Jie in cultivation and changing things.
Lu Jie is now master of his sect. He works hard to do everything he can to prepare. We see his spirits advance more. Mortals are doing more and more and all under him are now able to cultivate.
Lu Jie receives a summons to meet the emperor of the Azure Empire. He must go. They make their way there through unnatural storms and assassination attempts.
He meets all sorts of powerful people in the capital. He must face off against the alchemy academy and meet divinities like the Shie divinity.
This book felt more rushed than normal. The world is expanding so quickly and there isn’t as much time to cultivation. Lu Jie seems to master things just too quickly. But he is smart and can figure them out quickly.
So, this volume, Lu Jie is considered a Sage and we learn he has a high cultivation. Still, compared to a divinity, he has a long way to go.
We also learn the background of Old man in this story. I love that part.
This was a good book. It’s not my favorite cultivation story, but it’s entertaining and I enjoy it. I like it when the world is a little smaller and as it gets bigger, it’s difficult to relate too.
I’ll read the 4th Law when I get a chance.

Great addition
Good plot twists, decent character development, and good foils. Really entertaining book where my only criticism is that the 2ndary protagonists' development is a little shallow, but not enough to foil the overall good writing. Can't wait for the next one!

Very slow start.
With a very quick ending. This was a good story that suffered from very poor pacing. It is still a good read, just takes a bit of tedious plodding at the start.

You have to give this book a try, whether you listen on Audible or read it on KU!
The story kicks off when a guy from our world wakes up in the body of a boy in a Chinese cultivation-style fantasy world. The original boy died from bullying, and our MC takes over. There are so many twists explaining how and why he's there!
He thinks the world is totally backwards, so he starts introducing modern tech. The problem is, people see his inventions as a bad thing that's disrupting the balance of their world.
One of my favorite parts is how the enemies just get stronger and stronger with each book. And, by the way, he has a bunch of cute animal companions which I love!
e> 10/10 - Highly recommend!

After reading the first three books in this series, I will decline to continue. Each book is in need of a progressively larger amount of editing, with the third book being filled with grammar issues, run-on sentences, and basic sentence structure problems. What could be an interesting, Naruto-esque story instead becomes a frustrating venture into poor grammar. I think almost every paragraph in the entire book had some form of issue. This review doesn’t even touch on the issues with the story, which I won’t bother to go into. I do think they could be mitigated if the writing itself was simply cleaner.
