About this listen

Martial cultivators, flying swords, and magic talismans.

Life for Cha Ming is a daily grind. A rat race where people don’t make any real decisions. When he asks the universe for something more, fate itself answers his prayer. A talisman brush older than time itself sends him to another world, where magic, fortune, and danger await. Now, the world is at his fingertips. He has a new life, a new body, and can wield the five elements. It’s too bad his new home is a place where might makes right, and immortal cultivators and demons fight at the drop of a hat. But where the divine brush goes, danger follows. As its wielder, Cha Ming can’t stay out of trouble. There are many who seek the Clear Sky Brush, and they’ll stop at nothing to find it....

this book seems to have gathered a unusually large amount of hate and after listening to it I can't understand where its coming from.

for example the character development is the worst part of the book describing it as lack luster being generous but it certainly doesn't ruin the book.

next there is perspective drift. the author can't seem to keep the focus on the mc including far to many perspectives and side chare characters for the reader to care about. however this is mainly a issue in book 2 so I don't think that's the reason.

I can only come to the conclusion that the people who poorly reviewed the book are not familiar with the cultivation style book of which this is a somewhat average example.

tldr: if you like cultivation stories you'll proberbly like this if you don't know what that is research what it is and the writing style before you spend your credits.
