★★★★★ 5
Excellent Parallel Worlds and Xianxia Story
Format: Kindle
The story follows two affable characters, Rugrat and Eric. Rugrat is a wonderfully written redneck and Erik plays the role of an exasperated and loyal brother in arms.
The two main characters interactions between each other bring interesting banter to the different parts of the story that other wise progress too slowly. It’s a cultivation novel and the main characters often take a great deal of time learning more about the system and how they can leverage its powers.
The magic system in world combines well with the parallel world aspect, and the main characters thrive in their new environment. The stats, like in many other stories in this genre, serve as relatively arbitrary plot pieces that could be easily handled without the stats. The potential for growth and the magic systems interesting interactions with modern technology makes the magic satisfying to read about.
My favorite aspect of the story so far is the clashing of the honorable soldier mentality with the “might makes right” philosophy of martial arts cultivation novels. Though it’s clear the author heavily favors one philosophy over the other.
A great read, and an excellent novel to enjoy as an audiobook.
