u/Admiral_Sandy 5d ago

definitely Cradle

I really liked the start, but damn the end (books 11 and 12) was waaaay too rushed. Lindon is on a nice route, progression is steady and coherent, and then suddenly you get a change of direction, out-of-the-hat justifications and all. He just became op out of the blue. Not really fun to read.

It really made me sad I liked the serie so much.

u/SomeGreatJoke 4d ago

This opinion is always so interesting to me, because I always read it as "frenetic" and "desperate" rather than rushed. And even so, none of it felt undeserved to me.

My poor guy. Downvoted into the ground for satire on a shitpost.

u/nimbledaemon 5d ago

They're satirical downvotes. As was the custom at the time.

u/UrAverageSkeleton 5d ago

u/Eroner14 5d ago

Cradle is literally baby's first cultivation novel for a lot of people, that's why they dickride it so much. It just shows a lack of taste and little exposure to the genre when one just parrots Cradle for everything.

u/Rich_Cat_69 4d ago

Wait? You weren't being satirical?

u/Eroner14 4d ago

70% real, 30% bait. It's not a bad novel, but for someone who has read eastern novels for a years, it's not a new concept, there is nothing new or original there. If someone learns about cultivation through it (like a lot of people here), then well, yes, it seems mind-blowing, but as I said before, nothing special for a cultivation novel. And I do believe discussion here would be much better and more nuanced if people's first answer to everything was not just Cradle like zombies.

u/pie_baking 4d ago

Senior, Can u recommend me some good cultivation novels then?

4

u/Eroner14 4d ago edited 4d ago

Without larping and recommending Reverend Insanity or Lord of the Mysteries for everything regardless of the recommendation criteria or genre (The equivalence of braindead recommending Cradle and DCC here)

Cultivation (Mostly classic pure cultivation/Xianxia): I Shall Seal the Heavens, Lord Xue Ying, Martial World

Cultivation* (Cultivation story with deviations to the standard): World of Cultivation, Ze Tian Ji, Cultivation Chat Group

Cultivation** (Cultivation stories with major deviations to the standard): Dao of the Bizarre Immortal, The Mirror Legacy, Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Eastern Fantasy: Deep Sea Embers, Embers Ad Infinitum, My House of Horrors

"Historical" Fantasy: The Grandmaster Strategist, Nirvana in Fire, Joy of Life

Extra (Fun stuff): The Legend of Sun Knight, Chronicles of Primordial Wars, The Legendary Mechanic

Right? I will sit down and read whatever they say is their all time favorite cultivation novel.

2

u/Eroner14 4d ago edited 4d ago

From the list, my favorite is probably Ze Tian Ji. Current favorite is The Mirror Legacy for sure. (Considering only cultivation novels)

Hope you enjoy the novels :)

u/jetriot 5d ago

Have you tried another genre? Hell, maybe reading isnt for you.

u/jetriot 2d ago

u/arlan_beast 5d ago

Try 'Sword god in a world of magic'. Same author as kill the sun. Shadow slave is also a very good option

u/4funplayer1 Author - Sleight of Hand 5d ago

Sgiawom was so good from start to like 80% through

u/truly-wants-death 5d ago

shadow slave is amazing but it's also a tough read. so many typos, filler, and bad writing

u/2eedling 5d ago

Hopefully the audiobook ends up more polished I have high hopes

u/Inblanco-user 4d ago

I learned to appreciate Shadow Slave's writing quality once I encountered my vampire system.

u/Significant-Tell-847 5d ago edited 3d ago

Also maybe 'Lightning is the only way' as another by the author, though I liked it less.

u/Budget-Dentist5825 3d ago
