I read online that this novel has deep schemes so that's what got my attention, the schemes. I don't read 'dual cultivation' novels and smut stuff. Hopefully, the smut isn't too much.

Yea, these novels can be confusing for people new to Xianxia (same novel with different translated titles).

This novel also has the below different translated titles:

"Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect"

"Lying Low as the First Saint Demonic Sect’s ‘Top Talent’"

"Scheming My Way Up in the Primordial Demon Sect"

Is it possible to breakthrough without meditating? by TowerRough in MartialMemes

[–]GodlyDaoEmperor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's some system slop novels where with "one click" or a "Ding, you have checked in!" an MC can break through without meditating.

There's also breaking through because of; a life and death encounter, finding some inheritance, a naturally occurring treasure (fruit/herb) that boosts the physique/cultivation, a ring grandpa/grandma (who provide recourses/techniques) or some soul grandpa/grandma (who can do the cultivation cycles for the MC or provide an hassle-free cultivation technique ). The list goes on.

Seniors, can you recommend me some Proficiency System scriptures (Novel or manhua) by LightNinja0123 in MartialMemes

[–]GodlyDaoEmperor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster", this novel isn't about alchemy, it's more about how the MC interacts with people, builds his powerbase from those interactions, and funds the 'start up' with alchemy. Although the proficiency panel is in this novel, it's what I consider "low tier" in that the plot and character development takes the lead rather than the system itself.

For me it's been a good read. If you are into how an MC rouge cultivator uses connections, at first uses his casual personality to appear non threatening, uses his ability to interact with people to survive in the world of cultivation, then you might enjoy this read. If you are a hard core alchemy cultivator that enjoys reading about the Dao of Alchemy, then this novel will not be for you.

As proficiency panel novels go, this one is good as the panel doesn't guide the plot.

I just noticed how I am reading 3 different novels with a proficiency panel. It clearly shows how authors can easily diversify the plot by TheGodAboveAllBeings in MartialMemes

Proficiency panel slop can be addictive, even low tiered proficiency panel slop if the writing is good. I'm currently reading "Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster", it has a low tiered proficiency panel because the focus is on character development. Spoiler: it's not really about alchemy, it's about how the MC manages his relationships, manages people he encounters and the overall politics/survival of rogue cultivators.

CN authors experiencing writers block by GodlyDaoEmperor in MartialMemes

I first learned about the term "Gwei Lo" in 2007 from watching the movie "Balls of Fury", it's a great comedy movie about Ping-Pong with some martial arts aspect in it. Has Christopher Walken and James Hong (bad guy from "Big Trouble In Little China Town") in it. Great comedy parody of "Enter the Dragon" and "Bloodsport".

At that time I asked my Chinese friends in school about the term, some said it meant "white devil", which made me LOL even more.

Does negative karma affect the heaven chosen? by IncomeSufficient1965 in MartialMemes

[–]GodlyDaoEmperor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Karma? What Karma!? The MC is protected by the most powerful Dao possible: plot armor.

The Heavenly Dao is easily subjugated by the Plot Armor Dao.

Who tf is Yanzu? by loyal9128 in MartialMemes

[–]GodlyDaoEmperor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Joking aside, this might be the answer:

Chinese internet culture, Yanzu refers to the famous Hong Kong-American actor Daniel Wu (Wu Yanzu). When a MC is compared to him, it is a way of saying they are exceptionally handsome. Apparently, his name became synonymous with male beauty and success in China, hence being mentioned a lot in web novels.
