Typical Chinese web novel with Wuxia Cultivation elements and a little bit of Xianxia
The review is for all 12 volumes having 621 Chapters. This is one of the better-translated web novels, I did feel this is the case with most of the books by this author, also his books seem to get published on paper, and get adapted to anime and manhua
This is the sixth book I have read by the author, him being my favorite for the Xianxia/cultivation genre, although this one is more of a Wuxia genre. The book stands out from his other books in being more laid back and less grand, but nonetheless a refreshing entertaining read. As the book covered a different genre from his usual trope we were offered something new while having his quality of writing supported by a good translation.
The book has Epic world-making, and I am a fan of the weak character becoming overpowering, another thing I liked was the non-harem world. We have plenty of fun adventures making for a light read.
If this were one of the first books of the cultivation genre I had read, I would give it a 5 on 5, being binge-reading the genre for the last three years now, 4 on 5 seems appropriate.
