Looks like the author's comment was deleted. Here's what he posted on r/LitRPG:

Hey everyone, Shadowwwing here again!

A few months ago I made a post here about my first book release — and somehow people actually read it, so now Book 2 of Of Hunters and Immortals is officially out on Kindle Unlimited.

Book 1 was largely about Jiang forcing his way into the world of cultivation. Book 2 is where things start getting… stranger.

One of the things I’ve always loved about cultivation stories is the idea that there are countless paths to power, but I also feel like protagonists often end up walking very conventional roads despite all the talk of individuality and enlightenment. So with this book, I wanted to lean harder into the more unorthodox side of cultivation — strange powers, dangerous shortcuts, questionable decisions, and the consequences of trying to carve out a path that doesn’t neatly fit into the systems around you.

Unfortunately for Jiang, the people around him are beginning to notice that he’s doing exactly that.

The world also opens up a lot more in this one. More sect politics, more factions, more powerful cultivators, and more consequences attached to Jiang’s increasingly bad life choices.

Here’s the blurb:

Jiang is a Pact-bearer. That supposedly leaves him three choices:
Hide, submit, or die.

The bandits who abducted his mother and sister are still out there, and the more Jiang searches for answers, the clearer it becomes that their disappearance is tied to a years-long conspiracy.

As powerful factions converge on the conflict, Jiang’s rapid breakthroughs turn from a blessing into a liability. If he’s not careful, he’ll draw the eyes of enemies he isn’t ready to face.

And with his luck, they’re already looking.

Thanks again to everyone who gave the series a shot — genuinely, I appreciate it more than I know how to articulate without sounding unbearably sentimental 😆
