"Screw the System. I just want to Cultivate."

Long Fang is stranded in a foreign world where proper cultivation has been replaced by annoying blue screens. He is confused and alone...but not for long.

Completely ignoring the System, he forms a wholesome sect of followers to spread cultivation across the wild world. Blue screens do not take kindly to rejection, however, and Long Fang’s stubbornness soon finds him pitted against increasingly dangerous foes.

To overcome the System tribulations, he must quickly grow stronger and wiser.... But first, he needs to get past that one annoying town guard.

Experience the start of an ambitious LitRPG/Xianxia mash-up. It’s perfect for fans of either genre and lovers of all things Progression Fantasy.

About the series: Follow the path of a Xianxia cultivator in a LitRPG setting. See him increase his powers and carve out a new home in a hostile world out to get him. Rejoice as he spreads cultivation to those in need, each with their own story to tell. In this journey, wholesomeness and epicness go hand in hand.

it reads like a Lit-RPG but everyone is NPCs. Main character is thrust into this universe from his own and has to make his way while not being a part of the system. Can't wait for book 2

At first I didn’t know if I would listen to the second book, but the goodness of the characters fighting the System and the other evils takes you in. At first the main character is just trying to find his place in a new world applying his knowledge and abilities to advance, but through other people he meets he starts to take in a view more encompassing the “right thing to do” which just becomes more motivation for him. Of course, I need to see what happens next…

The “cleanness” and “politeness “ are really different

First to get it out of the way, I was given this free copy at my request without any requirement of a review.
that out of the way, this is a fun story to be pulled along with. I found it easy to be drawn in and carried along through the narrative. I found it to be a great story to listen to on my commute to work.
I look forward to the next installment.

Good start to a new series

I made it almost three hours in before returning. It started out with what I thought would be an interesting concept. Unfortunately the writing just didn’t hold up. It isn’t horrible, just average for a litrpg/cultivation novel.
