Review Detail of GrandpaPeng in Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

It was a pleasant surprise and an enjoyable read from a different perspective than usual. We follow the story and are shown that "everything passes away". Why involve yourself when all these people will someday die of old age? Why create cause and effect and get yourself in troubles, when you can be at peace doing whatever you want? Author said he wrote in this way due to his experiences in life. For me it wasn't boring, I was put in a quite unique mood, The second half of the novel loses its charm. One reason are the three abilities they get at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 years and the soul control technique. The second one - MC has some strength now and while cultivators don't live as long as he does, they still live in thousands of years unlike the mortals at the beginning, so it's more stale. Third reason - the author makes MC get involved himself too much, which made the story events be pushed or manipulated by MC, unlike the independent flow in the first half. There was a sudden event out of the blue in the last quarter of the novel that made MC be more free and daring, so he also no longer passively watches how events unfold but actively takes part in the events just like a protagonist does, generating more karma, even if he still plots from the shadows. So there is more action, but story development perspective is less unique. What is interesting though is that the second half of the story takes place pretty much only in one big city and beast marsh connected to it. The city even changed the owner a couple of times and the action still takes place in this city, as if MC was rooted there to the end of the days. I haven't finished it yet, I am at chapter 246 out of 287.
