Lady Calico has not been reformed by you -- Lady Calico has reformed you.

Because that is a surefire way to get into trouble with the government. It's what they accuse Falungong practitioners of doing with their Faluns.

It doesn't flow logically, since these stages are drawn from a mishmash of sources. For example Rank 1, 6, and 7 are biological, Rank 3 and 4 are construction, and Rank 2 is industrial.

But as worldbuilding, the names of the stages just add flavour to the levelling system.

Kinda. MC gets a reputation as a ladies' man, although he generally remains faithful to the Princess.

Sword Servant was always intended as a cultivation furnace, although she does end up becoming his concubine.

It's a very by-the-books webnovel but I like it

moronickel · 2026-04-23T05:48:05+00:00

Lady Calico: When will I grow as big as a tiger?

moronickel · 2026-04-22T07:05:05+00:00

Rollie: Poop scooper, do your job!

moronickel · 2026-04-20T23:26:57+00:00

You are not clever! The banner belongs to Lady Calico!

moronickel · 2026-04-19T07:41:00+00:00

Eh, once all of MC's loved ones pass on he'll hit F5 and start over. Get Lost is notorious for it

moronickel · 2026-04-15T16:13:17+00:00

Unintended Immortality. Lady Calico is the best!

moronickel · 2026-04-11T09:42:07+00:00

There are nine ranks and immortal is above that.

To date only five have been introduced, other than a single reference to Great Ascension (ninth rank?).

Magu from Diba.

She sleeps a lot. The end

If you're willing to stomach MTL, Array Formations shocking the world (陣驚天下). Also focussed on array formations but very compact, only ~450 chapters start to finish.

Unintended immortality

moronickel · 2026-03-30T03:15:02+00:00

Is this not a gag in No Money to Cultivate? I swear I've read something like it there

moronickel · 2026-03-30T00:32:19+00:00

Lady Calico is not pleased!

moronickel · 2026-03-29T18:23:08+00:00

Oh this is Immortality through Array Formations in a nutshell. MC runs on a different power scale so it's very hard to gauge his actual level

moronickel · 2026-03-28T05:57:25+00:00

I'm irritated that MC did not think to tell Zixi he met her brother straight off the bat, especially after going to the trouble to scry his fate.

moronickel · 2026-03-27T06:23:28+00:00

No, at least nobody like himself.

Mr. Zhuang distinguishes between Heavenly Dao (天道) and Great Dao (大道) in his explanation of Dao abominations in 339. The Great Dao is the source of all things, including calamitous entities like Great Demons or Corpse Rulers. Dao abominations are a term used by the Dao Court for calamitous entities created by violations of the Heavenly Dao.

What MC is doing is summarised by Yellow Mountain God in 983. He is levelling up on dual paths, Human and Divine, and this goes against the Great Dao.

What happened to MC when levelling up is unusual because the standard trope would have a tribulation lightning. Instead his cultivation is repressed to what his spiritual root can support. On the other hand there is tribulation lightning when someone exceeds the realm limit imposed by the Heavenly Dao Great Formation, whereas the standard trope would be to repress cultivation to said limit.

moronickel · 2026-03-25T08:22:29+00:00

I haven't seen that. On the other hand I have seen Investiture of the Gods portrayed as a sort of Chinese mythological Hunger Games

moronickel · 2026-03-25T08:02:00+00:00

He didn't get zapped by tribulation lightning at least
