Translated description : To survive in the world he transmigrated into, Model Citizen Gu Xizhou became a demonic cultivator.
But then… but then he transmigrated back.
The returned Gu Xizhou was furious. The student that had sacrificed his body to reincarnate him had used a demonic array meant for summoning evil spirits. He, Gu Xizhou, had been a law-abiding citizen who upheld the core socialist values prior to transmigration, the very picture of a model citizen. So how had he become a heinous malicious spirit since his return from transmigration?! ______________________________________________
What an amazing story! Some people say the ending is rushed, and I do wish the author had written a couple more extras, but I actually loved the ending. It was probably the one place that the main characters were so sugary sweet and unrestrained together, so I had to enjoy it while it lasted! And I love a good twist and tie together. Especially with the help of the translated comment, everything ends up very logical and makes sense.
I originally thought the twist would be more heart rendering (someone mentioned self-cest and I have to say, I was expecting something along that line, or evil organ boss takes over one of his victims), but the real twist is much sweeter.
There are definitely holes and unexplained threads, but overall, I loved what the author eventually came up with.
I also love the equality of the two characters. They're both pretty boss and the worlds they go through are immensely interesting. It's so cool how the author manages to create arcs that show how nuanced a situation can be. Every time justice is served in the supernatural world, it's so satisfying. The real life justice in the police station is almost more heart-rendering. You see how the system provides a series of laws that maintain order, the criminal isn't always wrong and the victim isn't always pitiful. But that's sort of one of the themes of this story. The law might not be fair, it might incriminate people who have done things that are legally wrong but morally right, but the alternative is chaos. You might pray to God that real justice be served, but maybe God is restricted to only allow what is possible through people's actions through their own free will.
This was a very good read, I liked the mystery and the puzzles that had to be solved in the other world. I read this almost non-stop, almost sacrificing my sleep...
I liked Gu Xizhou as the MC, and I liked how the novel showed him slowly getting used to the people around him, especially Gu Jiji.
Romance took a backseat, but I didn't mind... once it was established it moved pretty fast, without any misunderstandings or "3rd jealous party" coming into play. All the focus was on the current plot, and I thought it felt OK. It's probably the same reason I didn't mind that the ML wasn't particularly established. While I got a sense of what the MC's character was like, I hardly got that from the ML. I mean, I thought Gu Jiji had more character than the ML, but well - the focus wasn't on romance or the ML, so I guess that's OK.
He de decir que me ha recordado a la novela kaleidoscope of death, pero sin llegar a ser tan buena.
La trama les sonará a muchos, gente que se ha visto en situación de muerte y despierta en un mundo de fantasmas donde, si consigue salir, le recompensarán con una extensión de su tiempo de vida.
El protagonista despierta en uno de estos mundos repletos de fantasmas y leyes de muerte, sin embargo, para este antiguo cultivador demoniaco los fantasmas no serán un problema. Un protagonista fuerte y otro inteligente, ambos con grandes secretos que involucran su pasado, como el futuro y destino de todos.
Es una historia interesante si te gusta este tipo de temática, sin embargo, hacia el final las explicaciones y revelaciones que recibe el lector deben ser extraídas y desenredas con pinzas, pues no termina de encajar bien siendo demasiado fantasioso, sobre todo para personajes como Si Yu o Fu Yiran. Al mismo tiempo, al jugar con cambios en el tiempo siempre se van a crear agujeros que, por lo menos a mi, no me parecen cubiertos convirtiéndose en un "es así porque sí".
