Typically, I don't mind if the MC lacks intelligence as long as they're powerful, but Sage's Cultivation takes it to an extreme. The novel suffers from issues with dialogue, logic, and the overall intelligence of its characters. The first female lead is depicted as completely unintelligent, the MC's decisions and reasoning are perplexing, and even the influential figures like the sect leaders exhibit a shocking lack of intelligence. One particular incident stood out to me: when the MC encountered an inner disciple who flew into a rage because the MC displayed an act of kindness by giving a few extra coins to a shop owner. Rather than dismissing it, the disciple attempted to assassinate the MC, deeming him a hypocrite. Such moments raise doubts about the story's credibility. Although I can appreciate the MC's strength despite their lack of intelligence, the overall portrayal of characters in this novel leaves much to be desired. It would greatly benefit from more coherent and believable character interactions and decision-making processes.
