Today I would like to recommend an anime original to you.

Category: Light novel-youth daily life.

【Introduction】

The book is promoted as "Wang Ling's Daily Life"

At the age of ten (six in the animated version), Wang Ling easily slew the demon king, the Heaven-Swallowing Toad. As an almighty cultivator, Wang Ling must conceal his prowess to survive among ordinary students. He cares nothing for the wealth, magic, treasures, and fame that ordinary people pursue. Neither the admiration of wealthy heiress Sun Rong, the sniping attempts of top Shadow Stream assassins, nor the incessant nagging of his parents can deter him from his pursuit of instant noodles. He spends his time either eating them or on his way to the canteen. Faced with adversity, will Wang Ling crush his opponents? Or will he play dead?
【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: A Fighter Born with a Silver Spoon. The protagonist, Wang Ling, is a gifted young man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is actually the reincarnation of a powerful being. His birth brings both great shock and hope to his family. At sixteen, he begins attending an ordinary high school for cultivation.

Chapter 2: The Flower and Fruit Water Curtain Group. The heroine, Sun Rong, and the protagonist are classmates, but their motivations for attending school are diametrically opposed. The protagonist wants to be discreet, while the heroine wants to be prominent. Only in an ordinary high school can she maximize the advantages of her family background and enjoy the envy and hatred of her classmates.

Chapter 3: The Sky-Swallowing Clam. The entrance exam involves beating the imaginary Sky-Swallowing Clam before you, a giant beast that had long been slain. Sun Rong scores an S. When it's the protagonist's turn, he discovers that this Sky-Swallowing Clam is the same one he casually killed at the canteen when he was ten years old.

Chapter 4: A Unique Aura of Domination. Six years ago, a wave of monsters struck. The protagonist was about to buy limited-edition instant noodles at the convenience store when the Sky-Swallowing Toad, a Level 5 monster, suddenly appeared and destroyed the shop. He then attacked and killed the Sky-Swallowing Toad, but it did nothing. Now, the enemies met, and the Sky-Swallowing Toad's soul, recalling the fear it had experienced, instantly surrendered. The protagonist achieved an SSS score and was promoted to the elite class.

Chapter 5: Other People's Children. The protagonist is a child born with exceptional talent, his cultivation speed never slowing down, and no one knows where the end is. Although his parents are merely Muggles in the cultivation world, the blood relationship of such a gifted child is all too real.

Chapter 6, the first day of school. As soon as school begins, the protagonist has already mentally identified five people to be wary of. He simply wants to study quietly and quietly, not wanting to get involved in the chaotic world of these five people, even though one of them is a teacher.

Chapter 7: The Magical Teacher Pan. During the talisman class, Teacher Pan demonstrated how to draw a spirit-attracting talisman. Everyone learned quickly and summoned quite a few spirits. However, the protagonist was a little worried about what he might actually summon.

Chapter 8: A mysterious school legend. Schools are typically built in gloomy locations, often associated with ghosts. Despite careful planning, the protagonist unexpectedly summons a Sky-Swallowing Clam. Even though it's a remnant, it still astonishes the students and faculty.

Chapter 9, Erha and Erdan. Despite Erdan's diligent training, the Sky-Swallowing Toad, a pet-loving young man, failed to learn to bark like a dog. Instead, it was taught to do so by another fujoshi. The protagonist finally senses a strange odor in the air: someone is following him.

Chapter 10: The truth of six years ago. Back then, the Sky-Swallowing Clam led a wave of demonic beasts, invading humanity with unparalleled power. However, the protagonist easily defeated them, and the glory fell upon Zhuo Yi. Zhuo Yi vowed to find the protagonist and become his disciple. The next day, the protagonist sensed a catastrophic danger approaching. It turned out to be Sun Rong's love interest.

【Brief Comment】

This book had not come into my sight before because I had never seen it on any of the major lists.

I was browsing Bilibili these days and saw the anime with the same name. After watching it, I really liked it.

The animation design is not very exquisite, but it is very funny, and the plot is similar to "One Punch Man". It is a typical invincible story of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

After trying to read the original novel, I felt more clearly that the animation adaptation was quite good. At least it is better than "City of the Dead 2".

Tell me about your thoughts after reading the novel.

The protagonist Wang Ling is a genius in cultivating immortals. He does not need to practice hard and can steadily improve at a rate of one growth every two years. There are almost no enemies on Earth that can trap him.

However, his parents are ordinary cultivators who are stuck in the Foundation Establishment Stage and can never advance to the Golden Core Stage. This makes them very suspicious about where the protagonist came from. The protagonist has been incredibly powerful since he was a child. To avoid attracting attention from the outside world, his family unanimously decided to suppress his strength and told him not to be too dazzling.

However, when the protagonist was ten years old and went to buy limited edition Raccoon instant noodles, he accidentally neutralized the Sun-Destroying Demon King and became a legendary figure in the process.

The protagonist lived a low-key life until he was sixteen, when he entered high school. In this technologically advanced age of cultivation, studying and attending university are a must for every cultivator, and a shortcut to success.

The protagonist is extremely cautious, but upon entering school, he scares the demon king out of his wits and attracts the attention of a wealthy girl, quickly becoming a celebrity among his classmates. Fortunately, other things help him divert attention.

Daily life at school was meaningless to him. If he didn't want to be too dazzling, he wouldn't have to go to school at all.

The rich girl's affection for him grows day by day, and she uses various means such as taking the initiative to ask him out on a date. Even the legendary figure in public is secretly looking for the protagonist and vows to worship him as his master.

As for when the world-destroying crisis will come and how the protagonist will resolve it, it will also unfold step by step in the story of the novel.

Furthermore, the book's updates are short and sluggish, primarily due to the author's unique identity. He's a NetEase-certified musician, a popular UP host on Bilibili, and a screenwriter and lyricist. The author fully demonstrates his talent, creating a targeted theme song for each work, which has a very high click-through rate.

However, although the updates are slow, the book already has 255 million words, and readers can harvest it at any time.

With the popularity of the anime, the sales of this book have also been very impressive, and it has easily created a small climax in the light novel category.

After reading it through, I also found that this book is particularly suitable for anime adaptation, and the style of the novel is even based on the standards of anime.

The book has a vivid plot, fast pace, humorous language, rich characters and excellent market response, all of which are good proof of the author's success.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book has been updated for a long time and is still being updated.

The animation was also played for a long time, and there were some splashes, but they didn't seem too big.

The novel has also been cited and criticized for having serious traces of imitation.

It was boycotted by many people.

The novel is quite interesting, but a little dull.

Feel free to take a look, and if you’re interested, go support the anime.
