Being mistaken for an Ancient Predecessor usually resulted in heavenly benefits. Not for James Anderson.
After being thrown into an isolated training realm, he was quick to figure out that there was no tutorial. No guidance. No ancient being to fully unlock his system. For eons he remained stuck by himself. Only system notifications and rewards appearing out of thin air kept him from going insane.
But even that eventually stopped working.
Standing at the precipice of the Isolated Realm. He closed his eyes and jumped.
A tear in reality opened under his feet, unbeknownst to him. Dumping him into a cultivation world gone awry. Demons and evil cultivators now dominate the world. Righteous sects and clans hole up in caves and array defended mountain peaks.
Why they hide? Well, let's just say James had something to do with it.
Follow James Anderson, or is it Yin Hu, as he is dragged into petty squabbles and the lives of the last remaining Hu Family members; Hu Shui and Hu Jun.
Will he achieve his ultimate dream? Would there finally be his dream lady to pamper him after eons of struggling? Or maybe he should begin a harem chasing adventure?
Follow James (Yin Hu) as he navigates the world with the belief he isn't that strong.

James is me – but funnier
Reviewed at: Chapter 3 | Time Flying
Humor? Impeccable.
Pace? Godspeed.
Inner thoughts? Screaming.
Hooked? Indubitably.
James is exactly how I would be in these situations. We all like to think of ourselves as cool, calm, and collected – figuring out the system. But when you're rewarded for getting a headache, it's all out the window. Give me my cozy blanket back.
I'm so excited to see how this goes.
Scratches the itch
Reviewed at: Chapter 14 - Raw Emotions
I've found the story to be extremely enjoyable. So far it feels somewhat reminiscent of AYMTAV4 to me, so if you're looking to scratch that itch I'd give it a try! Only complaint is that it could do with a good editing.
Style: The pacing is a bit inconsistent with somewhat unclear time skips that I think could be set up and handled a little better, but overall it's a very pleasant reading experience.
Story: The world building has not yet had too much time to shine. It feels like a fairly standard Xianxia setup, but respective power scaling and different levels of strength in the world outside our MC are as yet unestablished. The story premise is very promising and, for me personally, the most important parts are being delivered on, so full marks despite the lack of a fully fleshed out feeling world!
Character: The characters are really quite good in my opinion, I think the author has captured the dichotomy of world-weary age that comes from living as long as the MC has against his naivety from lacking life experiences. I docked a half star since I haven't really seen how they will grow yet, but it's still early on.
Grammar: Expect simple mistakes in spelling, word choice, or word order every page or two. It's noticable but still easily understood and far from aggravating. I haven't noticed any issue with tenses (which I find to be a common error on RR that drives me crazy), so that's a big win in my book.
