Awesome. I like the style of these covers.

Oh, the one thing I wanted to mention about First Stop was that it felt somehow like it was missing something, and I figured out that I was expecting the LitRPG trope of the main character having some unique ability or quality that helps them advance beyond the usual limits, or opens up new possibilities, etc. While the story is great, so far it's been about a talented, thoughtful, hard-working guy in a position in a cultivation school where he's slightly weaker and more disadvantaged than others, requiring him to be creative/lucky in overcoming said obstacles. His distinguishing qualities are his Long Family sword style and his gardening skills. Not really a critique but I'm just throwing the point out there. Compared to other LitRPGs, including the System Apocalypse series where we have the super rare advanced class and perks John Lee starts with, this series doesn't have that conventional element so far. Maybe it doesn't need it, though. Like I said, great story so far.

That's pretty deliberate. Wu Ying's path to immortality isn't going to follow those tropes, at least not completely. There'll lucky encounters and opportunities that he has to grasp, but he'll have to work harder than some others to progress

Cool! Cultivation/wuxia is a different genre, after all. And it's a great story as is.
