The Final Step

Cultivator vs. System #3

by Valerios

The final battle is coming. Will the Cultivator beat the System?

War dawns on the Asuria continent, and Long Fang will participate. He will forge himself through blood and shed off immaturities. He will rise higher and faster than anyone—or at least try.

In this war, there is no right or wrong, only victory or death. Everything is on the line. Can the Lonely Mountain sect grow, adapt, and thrive? Can Long Fang reach the peak before his enemies? The entire world watches with bated breath.

This is Cultivator vs. System, and only one can triumph.

About the author

Valerios enjoys letters and numbers. One day, combining them crossed his mind, and now he spends most of his time placing one after the other until something pleasant appears.

Besides transforming words into worlds, Valerios also enjoys moving figurines over chess boards, spending quality time with quality people, and stubbornly trying to convince machines that cats are not, in fact, dogs.

Reviews

It gets two stars because the series actually had a conclusion. Past that, this series was pretty subpar all the way through. Unbelievable and oftentimes unearned power creep mixed with a complete lack of meaningful character development came together to create characters that lacked soul and were protected by ridiculous plot armor.

Not really the worst series I have ever read, but I doubt I will read another series by this author again.

One of the fastest and well written trilogy I’ve ever read. Awesome mix of levity, progression, and lore/war building for such a short run. The author invokes deep connections to the characters. While the ending felt a bit rushed it was still very satisfying and not at all plot armor. Thanks for the great read :)

D list ending

One of the worst think in Wuxia type novels are MCs who leave there lovers behind to go to higher Lv zone. He should’ve toke fate/Dyad girls with him but instead we got a story completely ruined the romance subplots.

simple brilliance

A good author will tell a good story. A great author will weave wisdom and insight into an entertaining narrative that leaves the reader finishing the story a different person than the reader who started it. Valerios is a GREAT author:)

This was hard to finish. Very weak character development and interpersonal relationships. Very awkward.
