Reviews

[Albert Filchenkov · Rating 4 out of 5]

I first tried to read this book around three or four years ago, but I dropped it without even finishing the first hundred chapters. At the time, I think I was simply too bored by the slowly progressing storyline. However, as I grew older, I decided to give the book another chance, especially since the positive reviews about the novel were quite alluring.

And my memory did not betray me. This is not a typical Chinese xianxia novel where the main character has an immature personality and stumbles into countless encounters that make him illogically strong. Even though I can’t say that the protagonist faces overwhelming hardships or enemies he cannot handle, his growth and increase in strength still feel reasonable and smooth. Of course, it is not on the level of Reverend Insanity, but it is a solid and good choice if you want to read something more realistic and mature than most Chinese cultivation novels.

Overall, the book was interesting to read, and the author did a great job of keeping the reader’s attention. Yes, the story may feel overextended due to the “world scaling” (where the main character moves from one realm to a higher one after becoming stronger). The author himself has even mentioned that the ending was not originally planned to be the one we have now, and that he intended to end the story at a different point. Still, the novel is not excessively long, and although the ending may feel somewhat weak — one of the few flaws of the book — I would recommend it to anyone interested in the genre.

A cultivation novel which heavy emphasis on Xianxia elements taking inspiration from Taoism, Chinese mythology, and folklore, was a letdown for me as I had no clue about these subjects.

The review is for all 23 volumes having 739 Chapters

I Eat Tomatoes/Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi is my favorite Chinese web novelist, I read almost all of his cultivation novels, and most of his works are Xuanhuan-centric. This was my first time reading a heavily influenced Xianxia world, other novels touch the subjects but this time the world was very much molded with characters from Chinese folklore, and this I felt kind of alienated the work from non-Chinese readers.

There are better works of his around which are more fun and engaging for causal readers.
