The good and bad of "Forty Millenniums of Cultivation."

"Forty Millenniums of Cultivation" by The Enlightened Master Crouching Cow is a famous title on Qidian. But it is not too hot.

When you see the novel's name, you will think it's an Xianxia novel. But actually, it's science fiction. When I first read the novel, I thought the author chose the wrong category of novels on Qidian. A Xianxia title is listed in the science fiction category.

Only after reading the novel will you realize that the author meant to write science fiction from the very beginning. Or this is a science fiction with the appearance of Xianxia. The author tells the story of a genuine new civilization, which sometimes feels like it is happening somewhere far away from us.

So why is this novel less popular?

Though its details and coherence need to be improved, this novel has met all the requirements of a top writer's work. But it's lost in the conception of the world. It can only be said that the author's understanding of cultivation needs to be narrower and limited.

In this novel, It's not the point that the protagonist is limited by the state. The fact is that the people around constantly instill narrow patriotism into the protagonist.

Take some of the more recognized works as examples. In "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality，" "Renegade Immortal," and "Swallowed Star," the protagonist's way of cultivation is not limited by a country or sect at all. The protagonist has a bigger vision. He firmly believes that he can go further. At the same time, he did not abandon "patriotism." He would do his best to salvage the moment of survival and death of the race.

Other than that flaw, the writing is solid in this novel. The protagonist has a distinct personality, flesh and blood.
