Yes, for the majority that don't know, Immortal Mortal ended in the last week of 2017 with 1253 chapters. The author even post a message on new year's eve saying that he was fine with the ending and liked it, but seeing that I'm doing this you guys can get that I pretty much disliked it. And it's not even about the ending itself, but because the characters end up looking like jerks and the stupid cliches only make this worse.

First things first, Wuji and Cen Shuyin only meet up in the 8th chapter before the end and Yan'Er in penultimate chapter, but because of how the author ended the story they really never spend time together and only to make things worse Wuji and another woman (that confessed to him) spend a night together, making her the only one with development in her relationship with him in the entire series (the best we get between Wuji and Shuyin is a kiss).
2- Despite having several subplots abandoned at least half of them are given answers, although some are disappointing like the one involving his aunt and Aunt Eleven.
3- Although Wuji returned to the Cultivtion World twice and even got back to Earth, he never had gonne back to the Zhen Xing Planet.
4- When he returns to earth he discovers it has only been 50-60 years since he died, knowing that he has about 150 years when he returned to earth and the fact that he spent at least 120 years cultivating leads to the simple logic that the author simply does not understands how the laws of time and space work and he did this only because the he wanted to introduce Wuji's granddaughter to demonstrate that the woman who killed him was really evil.
5- Despite the author mention that Wuji gives much value to his friends and loved ones, he never spent time looking for them, at the end of the series most people who helped him in the final battle wanted to kill him to get his secrets and he even wanted to kill some too, but because they were facing a common enemy they did not attack each other and then because of the collapse of the universe and Wuji with the solution to save everyone they ended up doing nothing against each other.
6- The "Last Boss" of the series appears only around 150 chapters until its end. The only reason he fight Wuji is because of his treasures, which makes him look more like a minion that Wuji had killed thousand of times already. In the end he runs away and the series ends with its "main plot" unresolved.
7- The series ended without we even knowing if Wuji's plan to save everyone in the universe worked out. We don't even have a afterword.
8- Any and all side character that you find in this story is dispensable, they receive between 1 and 5 chapters dedicated to them and are then they are forgotten for the rest of the series. The only ones that don't end up like this are some who want to kill the MC for his secrets and treasures and who have not done so before because of the "villain in the series" or because they didn't find a way to do it without ending up dead.

There are more, much more especially subplots, but I don't want to talk about this anymore. As I said in the comment section in chapter 631, this series IS good, but because the author made so many missteps it end up a disappointing with all it's build up.

Reading the author's other series (the translated part at least) and comparing with IM really demonstrates how the author does not know how relationships ork. Perhaps because he was criticized with people saying the the story was too devoted to the romance that he decided to make it without any romance, which ends up making the characters seem without any depth. (A example of a character opposite of this is Tyrion Lannister in the books os ASOIAF, in which he spend time thinking about his 'wife' and manny other things.)

Even in the part where the MC arrives at Celestial World (A world after the Immortal World) and he gets worried of what will happen to his sect because he thinks that the Immortal Emperor who practically controls the Immortal World will try do to something to destroy it only lasts 5 chapters and after this he has already forgotten and does not even seek to know how to come back to help if there really is trouble.

It's because I like so much this series that I'm so disappointed with it's end. If you like it then continue to read, there will be many good moments in the series, although they diminish with the last chapters.

Final score: 7,5/10

Kamijou lol, read it till about 900 raw then dropped because of repetition man. most novels are like that, 1 novel that made me read the whole raw series without stopping was monster paradise, even thought it is ongoing (chp 689) it is kike a fucking Pokemon except in a cultivating world, how cool is that.

dude i feel u, i read the raw for Galactic Dark Net, i was so disappointing that i started writing reviews here and on the review page to tell people not to read that piece of garbage, but hey novel life right.

Kamijou
Wow thats really upsetting. I'm glad you took the time to write all that out. I really enjoyed the story but now I'm kinda wondering whether I should stop reading it all-together. The Yan'Er and Shuyin part especially seems weird seeing as how they're the only two characters the Wuji seems to give a shit about. It's bizarre that they would only meet when the novel is pretty much done. I also felt like all the other side characters were disposable and it's a recurring problem in most of the cultivation stories. I checked out the last chapter and things kinda just END, you know, like there's no build up and it feels half finished. I might speed through it when the translations catch up to the end but still, this sucks.

Tyrn I think it's better wait until the translation gets close to the end, by my accounts it will take about 6 months and a half to finish it on Qidian.
About Yan'er and Shuyin, the fact that they stay apart from Wuji is another chinese cliche that appears a lot in the novels in the same way you talked about the problem involving the side characters. This only makes it appear that the authors don't know how to create a story in which the involvement between the characters does not end up destroying the plot, so they simply makes the MC not have any kind of friend or lover that stays with him during his journey.

And about the last chapter, yeah it just stops in the end. For comparison it is equal to the end of 50 shades of gray. (I only know how the story end because of The Dom from Channel Awesome) This probably is the most frusted thing about the end of this series, because it just means that it ends without a proper resolution.

Thanks for the spoilers! I had wanted to ask how it is turning up as the recent chapters made me speechless in how he is continuously able to escape the super powerful cultivators after his treasures and it is not just once but many times! looks like the ending is also him getting chased because of his treasures? Lol.

As for his relationship with Cen... that is indeed disappointing... since the author tried to show him as a man who treasures love and friendship but seeing how you explained the ending chapters... that is heart breaking.

Thanks tho.

Kamijou I just finished read chapter 449. I appreciated your review dude. I think i need to stop before i get disappointed like you.

I will start to read lord xue ying again. I forgot most of the characters and plots, so i need to read it again from chapter 1.

Thanks for the spoilers!
I was thinking about reading it, you saved me my time.

Can someone telll me about his ex-girlfriend that kill him?

Reader_A She appears later in the story having dual cultivation (spiritual roots and meridians). There were 2 subplots involving her it in some way, but only one has a resolution and the other is put in limbo because it involves another character that the author discarded. She end up dead when she tried to kill Wuji and his aura (or was a slap of his) destroyed her completely.

I read raw until when his ex girlfriend kill her master. and after read your spoilers, it feels the story get worst.

Hi, i feel i have read a shit spoiler!

I will continue reading and have my own opinion!

Thanks!

I tried starting this novel way back when Qidian first posted it and immediately felt like it wasn't worth my time. I dropped it before I got anywhere significant, but it kept being highly recommended by the community, so I always thought I might come back to it. Glad I didn't now. The power rankings are BS in my opinion. The only one in the top 20 I read is RTW.

Kamijou thanks for the reply

Flaffy if you want to read cultivation novel that don't repeat the plot again and again, i recommend you to read 'Cultivation Chat Group'.

Reader_A I dont know....the name a synopsis remind of shiz like Durarara and I'm not interested in random people chatting. It's bad enough the half of the story in Martial Arts Master is the MC chatting with his potential GF and people on random forums. I have no interest in actual social media content in a novel it bores me. I read fantasy novels to get away from that crap not dive in.

Also I don't need a recommendation but I appreciate your kindness. You see I like the repeat of plots, it doesn't bother me but after 300+ chapters it gets stale you know? If they wanna continue to repeat they have to give me something new. Like maybe the MC dies at chapter 500 and gets born again, not just goes to another world but literally dies and has to start over. That would keep me interested longer but I have yet to see a novel actually do that.

so can you please specify cultivation realms after immortal emperor? is there another world besides immortal world and very high heavens ?

Nice

DingHao Well, because I read it with Google translator I don't think I can give a good explanation in the cultivation stages after the Immortal Emperor, but I can give a explanation about the cultivation sistem in the novel.

First, everything is divided by 3. There is 3 "Worlds": The cultivation World, The Immortal World and The Celestial World. Each world is divided by 3 realms, each realm is divided by 3 stages, each stage is divided by 3 small stages and each small stage is divided by 3 levels.

Second, the Extreme Stage (lvls 10-12) exist in all stages of cultivation and is more than likely that Wuji is the first that had trained from beginning to end passing through these levels. (most of this you can find in chapter 267)

Anyway, after Immortal Emperor there is still 9 stages (all probably with "god" in the name or something like it) to actually reach the peak of cultivation. The last stage of cultivation that there is in the novel is the "Saint stage" (again Google Translator), which is the 8th stage after the Immortal Emperor (at least is what I think because otherwise the author was going to pull out of his ass another "World" or something like it) and in the entire universe there is only 9 people that can reach this, because everyone that tried end up destroied by the Laws of Heavens and Earth when they try to pass through the tribulation (There can be only 9), so most of the people that trained for millennia of years end up in the "Quasi-Saint stage".

I hope that this can clear your doubts about the cultivation in Immortal Mortal.

And about other worlds after "The Celestial World", in the novel? No. Is this implied? Maybe, because I don't know if the last cultivation stage that Wuji gets (Saint) is really the last or is the penultimate one. As I said I believe that it is the penultimate and there is no other "World" after it. (because it don't exist or because no one had created it)
