Volume 1 was PEAK fiction.

This is the perfect distillation of the xianxia genre. Even with its somewhat rough translation, Volume 1 is a wild ride. I didn’t think any other web novel could top the intro to LotM, but I’m glad to be proven wrong.

While I enjoy the narrative here, I don't think I enjoy the style in which the story is told. So far, I've spent about 8 chapters, and there's hardly any dialogue. It's just been Kinch's internal monologue and info dumps, the latter of which I'm getting really annoyed with.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I've come to think that I really like torturing myself through garbage books just to read some fantasy smut.

10% into this book and this author is annoying the shit out of me. She has like 5 words to describe everything that goes on during sex and it's on a loop.

I don't see why people keep shitting on this book non-stop. It honestly is a lot of fun. Truly the assassins creed of fantasy novels.

HOLY CRAP. What a banger opening for a book. I haven't been this engrossed in a book in forever. A common thief stealing an artifact unearthed from the ruins of an ancient civilization. Said ancient beings had the technology to alter the fundamental laws of physics. Absolute masterful prose and pacing. I can't wait to read more of this.

So far this has been the best book ive read this year. As long as it doesn't shit the bed at the end this will end up as one of my favorite books.
