Cultivation novel with no cultivation

Review from Unsouled →

The novel borrows a lot of elements from “cultivation” stories popular in China and Korea, but uses different terms.

A fast paced tale with well developed characters and good, unexpected plot twists. The reader is quickly transported to a very believable alternate reality. Brilliant storytelling.
