I'm about halfway through the translated chapters on Webnovel, and the grind is real. 'Renegade Immortal' isn't your typical power fantasy where the MC gets everything handed to him. Wang Lin suffers, schemes, and crawls his way up from nothing, and the payoff for his struggles is immense but incredibly slow. If you're a fan of cultivation novels that focus heavily on the ruthless, strategic, and often lonely path of a true immortal, this might be your holy grail.
That said, you have to be patient. The early arcs can feel repetitive, and the translation, while decent, has its rough patches. The world-building is vast and intricate, but it doesn't spoon-feed you. You really have to pay attention to the cultivation concepts and the long-game schemes. The emotional beats, when they land, are devastating because you've followed Wang Lin through so much loss and hardship. It's less about flashy battles and more about the psychological weight of immortality.
I'd recommend trying the first 100 chapters. If you're not hooked by the depth of his character and the harshness of the world by then, it might not be for you. I stuck with it, and the later revelations about the larger cosmos and the true nature of his path have been absolutely mind-bending.
