Honestly, I picked it up on a whim after burning through the big names in the genre and was pleasantly surprised by the shift in tone. It’s less about an underdog’s brutal climb and more about the absurd administrative chaos of actually running a cultivation sect. The protagonist uses modern management principles to handle ancient, overpowered disciples, which creates a hilarious dissonance. The cultivation itself sometimes feels like a backdrop to the office politics of a supernatural corporation.
That said, if you’re looking for intense, life-or-death battles and profound Dao insights every chapter, this might frustrate you. The power progression is there, but it’s often interrupted by budget meetings and talent recruitment drives. I found the satire fresh for about two hundred chapters before the joke started wearing a bit thin. It’s a solid choice for a palate cleanser between more serious xianxia, but don’t go in expecting 'I Shall Seal the Heavens' levels of epic scale.
