From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality #16
From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality 16: A Fight Using the Space Law
All the martial artists wanted was to earn a spot in history.
Some blended in the crowd, and some didn't. Some worked their way to the top and some became nothing but heaps of dust on the ground. Some were born into riches and jewels, and some were born with nothing but a strong mind and a great talent, like Zen Luo.
However, when he saw just how unfair the world was, he couldn't stay put and set out on a journey towards greatness, with only two goals in mind: To witness the world from the very peak of martial arts and to provide a safe and happy future to the people he cared about.
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that.
With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred.
Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

In a way, I was looking for an excuse to drop this series. It's as addictive as Cheetos and about as good for the reader. There is a very clear formula to the plot, which just keeps being recycled. So I knew I was being deliberately manipulated, and I resented it while at the same time enjoying the books.
There was clear evidence that the author was starting to take themselves more seriously as time went on. The text was becoming bloated with more and more (arguably) needless descriptions and digressions. This trend peaked toward the end of this book when page after page of ruminations were dumped on the reader. I was somewhat relieved to be able to stop.

Living in Sin (tower)
I have mixed feelings about this one. Through most of the series, Zen has been pretty straightforward and not a lot if surprises. When has has some overwhelming power, I had trouble making any sort of guess about how he would use it. I like the story and the sin tower section. I just had trouble understanding Zen's choices. Still going strong 16 books in.

As usual
Jus a bit too short. Great continuation but I which the stories were divided into twice the sizes. It is loosing a bit of steam but I think it will pickup back.

Setting up for a big confrontation.
This book was all about setting up the story for the future. Lots of political maneuvering to get the best situation for the future.
