Honestly the tournament arc has dragged on for a while, but each inner world felt kinda like a mini arc. I think the biggest problem was how it felt like the only inner world that actually advanced the plot was the realm of the chosen. I still loved all of it but I can see why some would feel like it's lasting too long

I think the main problem people had was that the tournament arc itself is more than 50% of the series by chapters, while this realm is 33% of the total series chapters, and while I really love this arc, I think it's finally time to move on, and im glad we are ( just the dream palace is longer than most of the other realms mini arcs, this realm itself can be divided into 2 books )

I…don’t think I understand the criticism, exactly. I don’t think that the pacing is a problem when looking at the work as a whole. It’s only unpleasant because it’s being doled out a little at a time, but…it’s a web novel. It’s serial fiction. That’s one of the things you have to make peace with when you read it. I felt that a lot more toward the end of the last arc in the Two Suns World than I have for this arc. Probably just because I find the setting of the…main(?) world more interesting, and wanted to get back to it. This arc has been more palatable because it’s tied in to the main world more closely.

Because I finally caught up yesterday hence my frustrated outburst (sorry) I would like to make a comment about chapter 496, where we got a glimpse at how the other competitors during the inner world part of the tournament. That part of the tournament is supposed to be about adapting to the worlds like Ke Yin and his competitors semi-did but it didnt seem to read like anyone else had to adapt and just used their standard kit as normal. Just a fancy environment but nothing more.

While I enjoy that you take our opinions into account, at the end of the day they are opinions and you should not change the pacing of the story to satisfy us. Obviously don't ignore us but don't acknowledge every grievance we might have, we still enjoy the story otherwise we wouldn't be commenting here.

Cultivation novels are long and context is important

As much as I think the tournament arc was a drag I have enjoyed it and I think the drawn out feel is at least partially due to the nature of releases so each chapter is a day wait and we can’t just binge through a whole arc.

Keep writing how you want the world to be, its your story. I will be happy with the 2 chapters a day instead of the 1 I get with other authors that only put 1500 to 2000 words in each chapter.

Enjoying the story, happy with the pacing and glad to be along for the ride. Realm Stabilizing Tree manifestation=excellent. Really looking forward to the Ke Yin-Wu Kangming tournament resolution. Thanks, as always, for writing.

As someone who has been binge reading this, i want to add my 2 cents to the conversation. I really enjoy your writing style and your approach to cultivation and how every power is in some way equivalent to another. Every power has its flaws and through understanding one can overcome those flaws. On the point of pacing, I really feel that at least 2 of the realms introduced here could have been introduced at a later point in the story when our main character is more developed and actually capable of resolving issues, rather than simply adding a significant (at this point this entire tournament arc is literally half of the chapters of the entire series) amount of bloat to what should have been a relatively short arc. Realm of the Chosen was well thought out and reasonably well done; the arcs involving Wei's corruption and his character degradation are incredibly moving. Also the fight with only martial power felt very well thought out and balanced as an mini-arc. However this entire dream realm arc just feels like its overstayed its welcome. Overall i feel that this arc should have ended with a simple match, perhaps even just a loss against his new rival and friend Wu but perhaps not a convincing loss. Say a loss in which Wu Kangming believes was a draw that only due to rules ends up a win, with him arguing that both should be allowed to use the Elemental thing allowing both to progress to their next realm allowing their rivalry to stay heated but now a passionate friendship rather than anything hateful. The rest of these sequences could have come with time as the author has already shown that the Genesis seed connects to different realms naturally without this need to force so many of them all at once. Ive literally lost count of how many new irrelevant characters have been introduced utilized to seemingly their full purpose and tossed aside simply for the sake of advancing a plot that seems to simply spin in place like a wheel with no traction. I genuinely enjoy this story a lot, but i feel like this whole arc REALLY needs an editorial pass to find what needs to stay and is relevant to the here and now of this point in the story, and what can be recycled into future story beats when it would both be more relevant and more importantly when our MC would be more capable of actually resolving these story beats. I understand the principle of chekhov's gun and wanting to leave story threads for future use, but at this point we have a ball of yarn with 40 loose threads and no tied knots, leaving most of the story feeling like more unresolved plot lines than actually finished and resolved arcs. There is a reason that most story's only have 3-5 unresolved plot threads, its because any more than that and a reader often forgets what is relevant and what isn't leaving them feeling lost instead of fulfilled.

How tf does the tournament screen deal with time skips? It shows realtime what is happening but it obviously must be time skipping as well. Is the dream world time faster when unobserved? Why? Can Azure peaks control the passage of time in the realms they control? How? If so, wouldn’t that have changed the relationship between all the inner worlds and shouldn’t the dream walkers have noticed that the passage of time was inconsistent when dream walking? Will Ke Yin’s connection to his inner world prevent them from manipulating time as long as his fragment is in this world?

But the Realm of the Chosen arc clearly showed that they were always monitoring the realms but that it was a passive job—not the active manipulation (and power expenditure?) that should have been required to manipulate the flow of time for multiple inner worlds (4 realms at once in the early rounds). Which made sense, you record what is happening and then play the highlights. I guess what I’m saying is Ke Yin shouldn’t have seen realtime that his fragment was preparing to dreamwalk to his inner world—the incursion would’ve happened before he could see it. The video would literally play slower than the events itself. Furthermore, he could not give himself realtime updates in the Shen Mohen fight—it would be over before his body could blink a couple times.

I just binged read from 459 to this chapter, and after some quick math (python code) from chapter 459 to this one which is basically all one fight of one tournament arc would be well over 5000 pages if I was reading it on my kindle app. Now I enjoyed the story so far, but that is a rather ridiculous length for this arc. I think this could of been wholly separate from the the tournament arc, the tournament has had very little sway in these last 150~ chapters, with the characters that are supposed to be fighting instead working together to get a treasure in an inner world to heal people they met there because a dream god manipulated them. I want to see him enter the elemental realm, for him to meet Kal again and work on the issue in the two suns world, to work with the Elder on formations, cure Wie lan or whatever his name was (it’s been that long) the return of the protagonist soul snatcher, the fish he introduced to his inner world from the inter dimensional market developing, just him developing his cultivation. Instead it’s been dream cultivation for this whole arc, which he can’t even really use anywhere else. I’ve enjoyed the story, but it’s felt very separate from everything else so far and for so long

Readers are always so quick to critique!! Please don't listen! Terry Pratchett says that readers don't actually know what they want and I think he's right. Thanks for the journey and your world X there's no right answer, and those who think their two cents = that, should go and write their own successful long story!
