I'm Really In Qi Training Period

If you are a fan of the xianxia genre looking for a refreshing twist on the classic overpowered protagonist trope, I’m Really In Qi Training Period by Zhu Bi Dian Jiang Chun is an absolute must-read. This novel masterfully blends epic cultivation aesthetics with a hilarious, character-driven misunderstanding that keeps readers hooked from the very first chapter.

The premise is brilliantly ironic: Zhang Feng is perceived by the entire cultivation world as a legendary, transcendent genius. With the purple energy of three thousand miles trailing behind him and the mystical yin-yang wheel manifesting at his back, he cuts an imposing figure that would intimidate any grandmaster. The world treats him like a god among mortals, expecting him to be an invincible entity of chaos. The comedy, however, stems from the brutal truth—Zhang Feng is genuinely, undeniably stuck at the basic Qi training stage.

What makes this story so engaging is the sheer gap between perception and reality. It isn’t just a simple “secret identity” story; it is a clever social commentary on how rumors and prestige can snowball in a cultivation world. Zhang Feng’s internal struggle to maintain his “cool” exterior while frantically trying to keep up with the absurd expectations of those around him is both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny.

The writing style is fast-paced, blending witty banter with satisfying moments where the protagonist’s “luck” manages to solve impossible problems he never actually asked to face. If you enjoy stories like I’m Really Not the Chosen One or other comedy-focused xianxia that subvert the serious tone of the genre, this novel hits all the right notes. Dive into the world of Zhang Feng—a man destined for greatness, even if he has no idea why.
