Aimless Ascension
[Webnovel's Fantasy Carnival Winner]
Gale was summoned into a mysterious world of magic and monsters when some crazy practitioners messed with higher-dimensional laws.
So begins the tale of a hero. Although most of his adventures turned out to be disastrous, it couldn't stop him from becoming the most notorious outworlder in existence.
From a destitute slave to a wandering minstrel, Gale voyaged across treacherous terrain and somehow wound up as the infamous king of the desolate Wild.
Eventually, his insatiable thirst for power and greatness led him astray, as Gale had to change occupation again. This time as a humble farmer.
Somehow he was disastrous in that too, as accidentally, Gale developed his little farm to a holy ground of spirit arts.
Now all aspiring practitioners—no matter whether it's a scion of Great clans or Jade beauty who can topple kingdoms—want to join.

Disclaimer: This story introduces a framing narrative and written two timelines side by side. One is the present timeline, and the other is Gale's adventures since he was summoned.

If you want to know my story, then you must learn I'm one of the very few Outworlders who came to your world for miscellaneous reasons. No, not those angelic beings dawned from heaven to dictate divine decree, obviously. Well, my exterior was a big giveaway. I was just one of those poor saps that got thrust into your world when a crazy practitioner screwed around with higher-dimensional laws. - - - So, I've decided it's about time to leave the obligatory 5star review. First, this is a story where the protagonist ascends and becomes a godly figure. Also, I will not convince you to read this story. I think a couple of chapters are enough for you to know if the story is for you. It is easy going in the beginning, but has a gritty theme and a blend of grimdark and humour. If you're still not convinced, then stick around for the memes, banter, and the wifus. . . Now for the reasons you'd STAY AWAY from the story - No Murderhobo (but there will be apocalyptic fights) - No Cartoonish Villains (cuz this ain't for kids) - No System Window (cuz the author doesn't know numbers)
So first something personal I've been reading novels for several years now and if anyone else has they understand how much harder it gets progressively to find something suitable. As most make, you want to blow your brains out haha. And I was about to give up on this one too in the early 30s and even took a little break to wait for more chapters, and I can say for a fact I'm happy I came back to read this, I honestly hope it gets the support it deserves I'm on chapter 163 so far and here are my thoughts. Writing quality: Excellent grammar and genuinely gives the feel of reading a work by an experienced author. Enjoyable read especially with emotion and even fights all suck you in. Stability of updates: I give it a 10/10 and I love it, the author works consistently and gets better with each chapter. Story development: Great pacing and actually interesting and original developments instead of the cookie-cutter stuff being forced down our throats usually:) At the start, I was a little bit skeptical but the story truly came into its own in the late chapter 70s. If we really think about it I'd rather have this unique setup because the results of its fleshing out have me eagerly waiting for the next chapter. Character design: Human. It sounds dumb but people behave like actual people, from using their brains to actually having a survival instinct and not 'courting death' in every chapter not to say dumb people don't exist and some people don't learn their lessons but reality really hits them like a truck which I love!!! . The side characters, I wouldn't even call them that cause you end up with a genuine interest in their story, I'd say there's an expanding main cast and key supporting characters. World background: I'd describe it as mysterious and unfolding, be it the locations or how the society is structured, a balance of being in a world where power is the law and opens more and more doors but also interesting beyond only being tied to power. In conclusion, I hope the author receives the attention and support this book deserves. And a note the mc is mature and smart and strong don't get him being injured messed up 'he's really him:) but more importantly, he is growing, this entire story is, and it's freaking beautiful.
Refused to kill, Wants to appear mysterious but keep showing off,wants to live a peaceful life but want to be a hero, wants to learn spirit arts but choose the backwater town to settle ? helps a girl he barely knew what the tell am i reading
This book, it's actually pretty good. The author has created a very interesting world and mc, the mc has interesting and mysterious past that draws you in;not to mention the way he navigates the world is quite unlike other other cliche XianXia mc's. No extreme arrogance or unnecessary cruelty. Just someone who sees the world for what it is. It's clear the author has a plan for this story and isn't writing nonsense, keep it up.
Not gonna say much..but this is trash and boring... trash the moment you make a cultivation story.. xianxia theme but an mc with english name while others chinese..how stupid..boring because yeah its borinboring with bait synopsis ..thought he was already strong..wasnt expecting him to be some retard instead

The story is alright. Although there isn't some grand mystery or revenge etc until now, which are a staple of xianxia novels, the writing style of author is good and story doesn't drag too much. So you can read it.
It's a bit early but so far it's well written and interesting. I can't wait for more. [img=recommend]
Well written story not just a chimera of all the eastern fantasy tropes. Worth a read for sure and if you are looking for a solid read then check this out.
32 Chapters in an I can say that it’s a well written story with great grammar. It’s not like other Chinese farmer novels, this story has a steady but clear development that is happening since chapter 1. World development is alright, not much to know though. The only thing I can really say for improvement is that there is a lack of emotion in the characters and they seem dull sometimes; other than that, it’s an interesting novel and I hope to see some more interesting events in the future.
I personally like the calmness of this story so far. The story progression is not rushed and feels like it has the right pace for this kind of novel. I also enjoy the kind of ”laid back” approach the protagonist has towards the world and cultivation. All in all I would recommend this novel as it is an enjoyable read :)
Very good novel, keep going [img=recommend] .............................................................................................................
Great book with fleshed out characters, plot and power system. The only downside I've found are occasional grammatical errors but nothing too bad. One of the better books on Web novel, highly recommend.
I'll be SHOCKED if this doesn't WIN the fantasy carnival. I was feeling confident, but then I read this. Now, I feel as if I wouldn't even deserve to be second when this is first.
