Review Detail of Inanis6XdRzK in Ascension of the Immortal Asura

First of all I‘d like to mention that I dropped this novel at chapter 639, however this has nothing to do with the writing quality or the sort and is entirely based on personal preference. These preferences are obviosly reflected in this review, so anyone with different opinions concerning them and having read as far as I did will probably continue enjoying this story as I did before. The writing quality is superb and while there are mistakes here and there, they are few and far between and easily forgotten. The story development is really good and will probably leave most people always wanting more while watching as the world just grows bigger and bigger. The world background is done really well and while John is already a force to be reckond with, there is still so much to be done and to be achieved. It was fun watching him outgrow his surroundings only to discover that there are still much bigger mountains to climb, even the ones he doesn‘t know about yet. Now to the Character development/design, it was done really well in my opinion and it was definitely needed, especially at the start of the story. While I know that John was still really young and therefor naive at that point, it was still incredibly tedious to get through that part of the story. This was actually my third time starting this novel as I stopped reading two times before that simply because of the beginning chapters. However this time I continued and as the auther said, John is basically a different person after 90 chapters. After that it goes only uphill for his character in my opinion. His friends and family are also really well done and also provide something good to the story. While Adam can be annoying for some I found him mostly entertaning and above all he is useful to the team. The same can be said for Chase and Iris. While I didn‘t really like Iris at the start, that was mostly because of the way was she was introduced and not her character itself. And obviously Miko is awesome as well. Now onto a few things I disliked or simply took me out of the story sometimes. One thing would be some Inconsistencies that only appeared a few hundred chapters in, like John being suprised or intrigued by things he already knows or has already seen. This has only happend a handfull of times and involved nothing major, so it isn‘t really a problem but it did take me out of the story when I noticed it. Another thing would be the overuse of “faceslapping“. I don‘t really know how else to describe it, in my opinion there are too many instances of John being underestemated and therefor his opponent or a random crowd being overly imressed. Starting with “no way could he do that, look at his cultivation“ or “he is talented but young master x is on another level“ and ends with „no way“ from random crowd member b and “what have I just witnessed“ said crowd member z. While it can be quite enjoyable from time to time, too much with little time inbetween can be annoying. It is understandable that it happens since John mostly fights above his level but for me it happend a bit too often. Now all of this is not the reason why I stopped, I still really enjoyed the story even with these small points. The reason I stopped and where those personal preferences come in to play is Laia or to be more specific where the story with her and John is seemingly headed. Most of the time I dislike cultivation and weak to strong type Storys with romance, since I tried reading them before and every single one left me disappointed. However after a while I tried reading them again and while most where still not for me, I actually found 2 which I really enjoyed, so now I‘m more inclined to give Storys with romance a better chance as I did with this one. Now I don‘t actually know if Laia will be the FL in the end but the events that happend in the last few chapters and the way she was introduced before led me to believe she will be. Not only was the author really trying to sell her by describing how awesome and imprtant her abilities are, he also makes Johns blood flow incease or body heat up simply because he looks at her vailed face, which I always found ridiculous. But I already expected something like this to happen since she was introduced, when she helped an enemy escape and Johns hatred actually decreased a bit simply because he looked at her. Had that happend after she gave him the pill it would have been understandable but simply calming a bit down because of her looks, after she helped someone who tried to kill you escape is in my opinion stupid. Now all of this would have still been okay with me if not for chapter 639, where she sends a part of her soul into his. Not only did John open his soul to someone he met for the second time, now their souls are also in some way linked, a plotpoint I absolutely cannot stand. I know that she helped Adam and is helping with the tribulation but that level of trust is way over the top. Had it only been said that it was absolutely necessary and there was no way out of it, it would have been a bit better but John actually trusts her that much wholeheartedly. I was already a bit sceptical after she followed him through that gate, however it was over for me after the soul connection. However again, this is simply a personal preference and a few assumptions of mine that stop me from reading further, everybody who enjoys romance and has read the story this far will probably continue doing so and enjoy it probalbly even more than before. I still have things to say and I don’t know if what I wanted to say came across but my rant has already been long enough which I apologize for. I don‘t normally write reviews but after a while of dropping good storys because of similar reasons I thought I‘d try with this one. I apologize if you should find a lot of mistakes in my long rant however english is not my first language but I tried :) All the best to the author and happy reading to anyone reading this.
