Summary
You’re Reading “I Cultivate Passively” on WuxiaWorld.Site
#Passive Skills #Counter-stereotype
After thousands of years of silence, the world of cultivation once again welcomed the golden age.
While the prodigies and sects’ various disciples in the world competed, Zhou Feng had only a skill panel. And the panel would only give him passive skills.
Gluttony: When you digest food, you can digest it faster and better. You will also get hungry faster.
Strength: When you are not fighting, you will slowly regain 1% of your health.
Blade-Sharpening Rock: You will gain 1 point every time you fight.
Age Gracefully: Every year you live, you gain Defense +1.
Armor: You will have an armor of a certain ratio every time you attack.
Dao Seeds: Increase of 1% to your familiarity with cultivating the Dao.
…
“All sorts of passive skills are vested within me. I cultivate passively!”
“As long as I can live until the end, then I will become the strongest!”
It is really good with proper character growth and world building. A hidden gem.
A true gem!!
Pls pick this one, a huge potential.
trash
MC being hunted like a dog!
this is a stale story where the MC will always be chased by a stronger opponent
Very similar to ‘ I Cultivate Immortality By Being Passive’; almost the same intro as well
My bad, it’s the same novel, with a different title. On readwn.com it has a decent translation, with lots of chapters
For MTL: ICIBBP
Nice novel….good world building…… decisive & ruthless MC……..starts from him captured by evil sect raising pig..I mean Gu farms…..path to be OP MC…
The pace of novel is good that it’s keep the reader captivated!
(Read till ch-284 MTL)
Definitely RECOMMEND to read!!
At chp 40, this novel is still among the top I’ve read in a long time. Hopefully it won’t go downhill as he gains more power.
He is very practical and the reactions in the sect is realistic. Hell, other “righteous” sect in other novels might be more evil compared to this genuine evil sect.
why every good novel gets dropped but novels like “almighty young miss who can do everything is pampered by her 999 brothers” gets continued
Pretty fun read up to chapter 41. Glad it was picked-up
Its world building is too damn ridiculous. MC was kidnapped by evil sect and is forced to cultivate deadly GU.
The problem is that death rate of new recruits is like 99%. Then this 1% of survivors will be accepted as true new disciples.
But even this 1% is treated like trash by the sect. They are abused/bullied robbed etc. Considering that they are cultivating deadly GU it’s basically killing them. So most of the survivors will die again.
Why this sect is even bothering to recrui disciples is a wonder. They should’ve self- destructed and went extinct long ago. Not to mention that those who survive will probably want to destroy this shit hole at first opportunity.
It’s kinda too absurd to read. At least make it believable.
nice … reminds me of another novel with gu worms… title escapes me though … anybody know?
Worthy of love and more love please pick this one.
the novel is good, but more like a horror movie ala cannibal holocaust the a “passive golden finger”. char building is a bit low, but there are a lot of different villians and side chars. no forced revenge plot etc. just pure malice, despair and the will to survive. people raised as cultivation treasure, a evil sect like you can imagine.
if you like a dark horror like beginning this is a good read, i still hope he can break free later and get some humanity back.
Definitely recommended, MC got changed by his surrounding from a normal person maintaining a expressionless face until he got used it; to a cold-blooded one that won’t hesitate to kill the so called “peerless beauties” if he sense their schemes. This happened because of the environment of his sect and also take note that he is not like most MC of chinese novels, he actively kills his sects members because he felt disgust towards them.
so good !!
not bad
Pros:
Cons:
Translation & Proofreading = 4.5/5. Some parts have awkward English, or mistranslated names/english counter parts, spacing issues
Final rating = 4.2/5. It is a great way to pass time. Itbis also readable.
i LIKE it cus MC must bleeding hard from fight to get stronger, not like other novel just flip hand all enemy all gine,
Ironically for a novel titled “I cultivate passively” the way the MC cultivates is the opposite of passive. This isn’t a wish fulfillment novel where the MC gets a bunch of skills that let him be powerful without doing any work. Instead it’s an incredibly brutal world where the MC gains passive skills which barely keep him alive as he struggles in a brutal demonic sect which is organised in way that makes it almost impossible for the MC to succeed. Its a lot but it’s pretty good.
Yuck! Gu World cultivation, just like Reverend Insanity.
don’t like Gu Cultivator just like Reverend Insanity, because if their Gu dies then they will become Ordinary, just like a Mortal but with more stronger body.
i pass this novel
Absolutely masterful writing. I would even go so far as to compare it to Legendary Mechanic or Lord of the Mysteries, at least for the first 149 chapters so far. I’m always checking to see if it has been updated every 4 hours or so, lol
I read till chap 164,so far it’s pretty decent. There’s no romance, no friend, heck even no family so mc can be ruthless even if he want to fuck nobody will stop him. Ruthlessness in this novel is like a strength and a weakness because if that thing handled wrongly then it’s only a face slapping trash, and if you add harem then it’s just a generic novel with a touch of “system extraction” or whatever
so so
Novel is a second rate Revered Insanity. Mc gets a cheat that gives him passives every so often, but the skills often have no applications : underwater breathing, lets you breathe for 12 hours underwater. But he is on a mountain…… Idk when that will be put to good use
The skills also seem to have different grades, white, blue, purple and gold but not much differentiation is shown between them. Like 0 we cant judge whether one skill is better than the other and the author doesnt make it particularly clear either. Mc is also kinda dumb
I like stories where the MC is cool headed but this one aint it. He acts tough when people hazing him bc he doesn’t want to be the soft persimmon that gets squished, but ends up being the only thorn that the seniors experience in his batch, making him ostracized and picked on.
Overall a meh read but definitely not a masterpiece like what the rest of the comments are saying,
Bottom Master in the comments down below gives the most accurate review even if i feel its a bit overrated
This stops being a Gu novel, and the mc leaves the evil sect. Wow, ANOTHER mc who roams the world freely while picking up bullshit OP “trash” cultivation techniques. This story went from something unique to dogwater real fast.
One word for you potential reader, unexpected. It’s actually a decent read, the reason why is firstly the golden finger the MC have is not straight up overpowering, it has its own pros and cons. The MC works to get what he wants and can be ruthless if he needs to. One slight flaw is the change of cultivation from Gu to normal cultivation.
Lolz
It’s a nice time killer, decent translation all the way.
Some people may bother questioning the world building “why is this that way?” well many things don’t make sense in a normal perspective such as why is the early introduced Tri Sect that way? etc well those things are actually answered much later,
The only thing thats its actually a bother in this novel is that as you read the synopsis our mc has passive skills, yeah? well the author doesn’t get tired of reminding us every time a fight happens or something because there is passives stacked our mc can do X, as if we would forget the next moment what kind of novel this was. If I could quote every time the author did it I could probably get few chapters only of it, meaning the author is often times redundant, as if he needs to explain reactions or why something works what way fearing we would forget etc.
God I love this series im writing this comment here as I plan to start from chapter 1 again even though I’m currently at chapter 444 which came out like 10hrs ago the MC isn’t a complete dumbass like a lot of other MC’s usually are which is great. Although I think the author forgets some of the abilities the MC can use it doesn’t matter that much since their not that incredibly important ones. 8/10 from me – Highly recommend
Not a fan of evil MCs…
MC GOAL – 1st goal live 500 years, next second he got into a fight without thinking becuz someone stare at him for 2 second and said if he lose then he just die…MC halo saved the day
It feel like the MC got too many passive skills that they are being forgotten, example his fishing skill should be pretty op since he can fish up good stuffs but he only used it once to catch one fish…well 2 fish but he blast the 1st one into trash and the 2nd one which was inside the 1st fish stomach is the one he ate
edited: MC always said he would go fishing but never did
The appraisal eyes is also good but he seem to forgotten to use it to get op scraps after he used it once on 1 herb and 1 stone in a stone gamble *ch200
edited: I remembered he appraised a formation stone or something but never said he bought it or just leave it
I really like this novel. They did the system correctly by making it a active part of the story but also not making it the all mighty power that lets MC do whatever he wants. The system helps the MC struggle better rather than making him OP. What I really like is that MC’s battle prowess although related to the system is not dependent on it and in fact most of it comes from himself and his hard work. Although the novel says he cultivates passively in fact he is the most proactive MC I’ve ever seen. He rushes through cultivation levels since he doesn’t have the time to worry about his foundation and is always in danger. MC has been in a very bad position since he was transmigrated but even then topples over other talented people. 100% recommend
guys pls be proud of me, ive managed to wait this long before starting it.
After thieving jade lake sect, everything became too fast. Someone please hold the author. He is out of mind already
Starts off pretty good but quickly goes downhill after the first arc for three main reasons.
‘
1)He quickly goes from being an anti-hero to being a person who does moral/immoral things on a whim (ie. kills an entire village, babies included, because a few of them tried to drug him, tortures and kills someone who tried to pickpocket him, etc)
2)Marriage Selection Plot device gets recycled 3+ times.
3) Author is just not good at math.There’s no context on what these numbers mean, the percentages given make no sense, etc. For ex. he has a passive skill that gives him +10 speed under sunlight. How tf are we supposed to know what +10 speed is. Another is a skill that shares 1% of his attributes to one of his pets. I dont think the author realizes how insignificant of a portion 1% really is. 8 mph is 1% of 800mph but the latter is the speed of a jet breaking the speed of sound while the former is a person jogging. But somehow in the story just that skill alone is enough to make the pet relevant wtf.
