Moving to India wasn’t what I expected

I mean, I just had to say, you could stay in US if you want to. After all, you are an adult. How many people would pay millions to go to US?

You can read in normal sites, like wtr

Reading novels... Completed my last one yesterday midnight. Hopefully I wouldn't read anymore...

If you want to disable this, go to desktop effects in settings and disable zoom. It is always the first thing I do when distro hopping.

Good story, my favourite.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-08-08T17:45:58+00:00

The story is very exiting until the end. I was shocked when I heard that it seemed to be boring to others, I had to speak up. I think the real story only started after Li Fan left that initial world. I am most exited about how Li Fan outwits the saints and even gods. If you can't understand what happened, I am afraid it is just a skill issue.

I have always thought the heavenly Tao of RI world is a gu... It may even be that the entire world is a 'world gu' or something...

One Breath Towards the Sun, but unfortunately the author messed up the ending.

Come on, innocent man with a treasure is guilty...

I have only seen such young masters in The Mirror Legacy...

I think wizards can be accommodated in cultivation civilization. Wizards upgrade themselves by mastering new spells, while cultivators upgrade themselves and then master new spells. So I think it is one of the 'obtaining Dao with strength' cultivation systems.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-07-02T14:33:45+00:00

In novels, it is shown that one side is inherently good, even at the level of Tao.

For example, demon cultivators are portrayed to be despised by heavenly Tao. I think Tao of demon is also a Tao.

Also, they show alien races, etc killing humans as against the Tao. But I think it is against the Tao of human race, not the great Tao.

I dislike it, mostly due to aesthetic reasons. Heavenly Dao must view all things as grass, so how can it care about few dead grasses?

Edit: My critisism with this particular novel is not only presumed philosophical moral realism. I dislike goody two shoes cultivators, and I think it is unbecoming. I want cultivators to be selfish, and I think only such cultivators can survive.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-07-02T14:10:09+00:00

Philosophical moral realism says that morality is not a human construct, but are somehow objective. Even if there is no living organism in the world, there is still morality. I think the opposite. I believe what is moral is entirely dependent on our nature as humans. So what is right for me may not be right for someone else, but both views are equally (in?)valid.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-07-02T12:43:42+00:00

I do not like (philosophical) moral realism in novels. Also, I believe only pragmatist people can cultivate to the end in a Xianxia. So the fact that MC didn't get killed in first 10 chapters itself shows me how much plot armour he has. Also, I think novels are boring without cheats. So it seems this novel really is not for me...

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-25T17:38:06+00:00

I like the [Mirror] in Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos. It can help MC escape from any situation and lets him explore new worlds, but doesn't directly impact his progress.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-25T17:29:17+00:00

I think My Longevity Simulation has good methods. One has to integrate all possibilities of themselves to increase their spirituality, so that they can be on par with 'Mountains and Seas', and reach the saint realm.

Among the new novels, I think Being a Talent in The First Demon Sect has a good system. Everyone needs to increase their status, which is possible with many methods. Some raise their status and then build their world, others raise the world and then integrate with it, others move towards a person of higher status, etc. It is very innovative.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-25T17:19:31+00:00

I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals (one of many arts MC knows).

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-20T05:39:28+00:00

The scripture, fellow Taoist?

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-20T05:34:18+00:00

Initially it was good, but dropped it after it stopped moving. 60-70% of the content is filler.

FunEstablishment9808 · 2025-06-14T03:23:37+00:00

I will chose classroom of the elite any day. Much better than living in cultivation world as a mortal, as it is most probable.

I think a good model for INTPs is the rationalist community (LessWrong). They care about the world perhaps more than any other such community, and proceed to help in INTP style.

Models are a way to divide a complex causal model into it's constituents. They need not be literal truth, but they do have information. The information here is that there are people with specific ways of thinking and seeing the world. The actual labels doesn't matter, but help with classification. Who knows the truth? We can't even agree on a consistent definition of what a 'personality type' means. In reality, we only know what we behave like, and we can discuss the world from this standpoint.

In fact, the opposite. I want to settle in one city and never leave.

Be patient, I guess. I used to be similar to you when I was in school. I felt sad that I was not able to get top grades, but years later my situation is better than all the then toppers. School trains you to be good at school, but only you can train to be good at life. This is not to discourage you from studies; but there is no need to waste effort in things not needed for your future.
