100 hours in, after playing EA prior to drop and I have to say: this is one of the addictive ones.

I hadn't played since the last major board update, and ended up playing almost the entirety of my two days off.
Great game if you're a fan of Stardew, or Chinese Immortal Fantasys, or especially both. The art is well done and memorable, your ability to customize your space pretty wild as you get up there, and the varied lands you visit are diverse; while building the sect and your relationships feels like an actual accomplishment as you literally raise it from the rubble building by building.

While there's fighting in the game, it's incredibly easy to manage with a keyboard (I haven't tried it with my controller ...yet: as I didn't want to relearn the control mapping after first playing with a KB in early access) and progression though sometimes a little confusing (especially around the foundation levels of cultivation); generally goes at a decent rate.

Honestly I have very few complaints or suggestions about how this game could be better. Tons of ways to change your look, pets, lots of things to plant, monsters to kill, places to explore and stuff to cook. (gawd are there a LOT of recipes from the kitchen to the alchemy forge, to the crazy amount of decorations in this game.)

I do wish you could get into bunny girl's world more quickly, and that there were animals???? Like.. actual cows etc.
Then again; looking at my exploration list now: I'm only MAYBE half way through what Immortal Life has to offer.. and haven't even gotten my superior tools other than the fishing pole..... so maybe there are? lol

Either way, big recommend over all.
PS - I am very happy to see the fairy mirror back after being gone for an age during EA!
