The Undying Alchemist

A LitRPG Adventure (The Undying Immortal System, Book 1)

A weak soul must not cultivate. Madness consumes the weak of mind. Eternal servitude awaits the weak of heart.

Su Fang arrives in a realm of cultivation unprepared—no skills, no knowledge, and no backing. Like everyone else in this new world, he is given a blessing from the Heavenly Dao to help him success, but Su Fang's blessing isn’t power over the elements or mastery of profound arts. No, it takes a brutal lesson to teach him that he’s been ‘blessed’ with repetition.

Every time he dies, he returns to the moment of his arrival. The young cultivator uses each reset to grind skills, refine his inner essence, and empower his very soul, using only the memories of countless failures. Each death is another lesson, each life another chance. Yet the world is ruthless, and time alone won’t be enough for Su Fang to make his mark; especially when every reset washes away not only his mistakes, but his triumphs.

In a land where even the strong perish, his fate is clear: he’s an immortal destined to die. Over and over.

Slow roll

Slow roll but I the writing is good and I’m optimistic for the series. Definitely for fans of time loop skill grinding type series.

Great first book

The writing is phenomenal. I love the story and am a little disappointed book 2 isn’t out yet.

Deep and disturbing story, compelling and emotional rollacoster.

Deep and disturbing story, compelling and emotional rollacoster. Read it read it now. Words words words

Good long series.

This first book is for setting up a lot of the things in the future. This is a well written series with lots of good twists and turns. If you like MCs who constantly grow and change then this is the series for you.

slow start but it picked up

I feel the character was written very plainly at the beginning and I think it really hindered my ability to project and empathize with the character. that said, the character developed pretty quickly after the first half of the book and it reach to decent cadence
