Read more Reincarnated into a land of cultivation, Yuan Zhou uses his Earth knowledge and assumptions to become a genius under the heavens for both business and cultivation.

There were always issues with some random thing popping up to stretch out the story. That's especially true whenever MC pops out another business idea and we lose a chapter or two to discussions, explanations, hypotheticals, and thoughts about the business, plus a bit more for the business actually being set up.The author also said each chapter would have 5000 words. While I believe it, he really shouldn't force it so hard. Too many chapters have word dumps near the end where it's obvious the author is just padding the word count. You won't notice when the already-endless info dumps are stretched out a bit longer, but during other scenes it totally kills the story's flow.Also, the author has zero clue how commas work. It's almost like he's intentionally making the comma usage a bit worse each chapter, escalating until around chapter 30 where half the commas that are there shouldn't be, while half the commas that should be there aren't. It's brutal to read. All that said, I'd still give it a solid 3 out of 5 up until chapter 34, where I drop my rating to a 1.5. It's just so forced, terrible, and completely unnecessary. The story already has a thousand things going on all at once. Why force in a new, much dumber one without resolving any of the others first? Totally agree with the, above the auther's info dumping is simply repeating what was said earlier in a slightly different way. word count padding. The story actually started to turn shit when MC was called a pig and would require a continent's worth of resources to progress. constantly feeding the reader with sh#t story line plots, will mean bigger bs story lines to explain and develop later.I can not recommend this story at all (dropping at 35. I can't, this is frying brain cells)why start a good story that is decent for the first 30+ chapters, only to be feed crap afterwardsimo don't start, pree chap 30 rating of 330+ rating 1 The Mc luck on chapter 34 is really awful 1st escapes ocean demon, gets hunter by demonic cultivator, survives then the master of demonic cultivator forcible recruits him The funniest thing is the demonic master calling him lucky Just a small tips to not get bored while reading this novel- skip all those explanation about cultivation- skip all those calculation and 'what if' explanation Great story, really goes in depth into the cultivation mechanics, and good MC.Extremely different from most Cultivation stories, but I think the story is better for it. Has a lot of potential, but so far is a bit of a slow burn. Calculating Cultivation by MisterViiLet me ask you a question, do you like Cultivation novels in general? Like Immortally stuff, going from zero to God level from a nobody? If yes, have ever wondered how they do it, not this realm that realm, like really how do they it? Do they need to study, do they need resources, do they need pills, what do they need?One day MisterVii and he thought, if he were a Cultivator how would he do it. Fighting is so outdated nowadays, it's like primitive way, let's talk business, how much do you wanna ear.Yuan Zhou is an Earthling who after dying finds himself in a Cultivation world but we don't see that part, MisterVii sets us right at beginning where story starts and cogs of destiny start whirring.When out MC learns of cultivation he wants to be a Cultivator, because he doesn't want to die again, no matter how generic the reasoning maybe there somethings one just cannot change. The first thing Yuan Zhou does is to start his business, because Cultivation needs resources, lots and lots, Immortally isn't cheap.If someone asked what got hooked to this novel, it's probably how true MC sticks to his priorities. Just because a jade beauty is crying doesn't mean you have to give up your only chance at survival. The guy shows it, he doesn't even forgive his brother for his mistakes, he is sufficiently ruthless but not a murder hobo, in that regard he is like Fang Yuan only driven by profits.Golden pro of this novel is it's details. Like Author is going all out on Math and Physics, Euclid's geomatry, Tesla valve, how to drill a traingle. This is probably the most detailed novel in this regard and its fairly obvious from the title itself.MC has a bit of an advantage at the beginning which you would begin to question whether it was an advantage or a trap, yeah he is going to get himself in mess.Later on, the story might add other elements, some will like them, others will hate them, but I implore you to continue reading this, because ultimately at heart we are Calculating Cultivation. And Yuan Zhou will show us how you really go about achieving Immortality.Chapter length is 5k, so yeah do let the lower amount deter you, it's already got more than 100 Webnovel chapters. From the desc it seems alright other than me being tired of face slapping yeah, anyone reviewing?
