Our Take

A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (RMJI) was not my first Chinese web novel. Still, it was my first decent one, after reading disappointments like Martial God Asura, Against the Gods, Martial World, Desolate Era, etc. I became frustrated with WNs where characters acted like immature children despite being described as intelligent and wise. The MC was praised for committing crimes like murder, theft, and genocide.

So, four years ago, I stumbled upon RMJI and was pleasantly surprised. The protagonist was thoughtful and low-key, he wasn’t arrogant, and he had the rare quality of common sense. The fights were dangerous, and he didn’t always win. The biggest flaw in the novel was the romance, which was forced or turned into a harem. The love at first sight trope also irritated me.

However, in the Immortal World Arc, the qualities that made RMJI stand out were largely forgotten. The story started with the MC losing his powers and memories, which was frustrating. He acted out of character, constantly battling with stronger enemies and winning secret realms, which felt contrived. The fights felt like a means for others to deliver treasures to him.
