Slow build up, low-key mc 1650+ chps in

by Misaki Kaneko

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

This is one of the first xianxia novels I've read, I really like the MC for some reason lol. Other MCs are nice, Han Li is just... kinda special? I'm really fond of him.(I almost wanna say cat-like) There'll be boring parts every now and then, but read it if you like a little character development, he's devoted to one wife

mostly, I actually temporarily quit reading once because of an incident , and don't mind an MC that doesn't like to be in the spotlight.

Mediocre xianxia with a boring sociopath as the main character

by naeddyr

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Dropped around ch 188, when I realized I didn't care.

I've wanted for a while now find a xianxia story with a main character who isn't 'talented' or has some sort of super-fate, or gets too damn many convenient discoveries or treasures, and this story fits the bill, with only a couple of serendipitous circumstances allowing the MC to surpass his limitation.

Too bad the story attached to it is also mediocre. Our protagonist, Han Li, is the amoral sociopathic type, the kind that doesn't care when horrible things happen but doesn't necessarily go and do them willy-nilly in case there are consequences, and at least he's not a rapist, but at the same time he's boring.

All the side-characters who are more interesting than him disappear from the page sooner or later. It's a story about a man who rides into town, gets forced to do some Maybe Good Thing, rides out into the sunset and you don't care, because the man on the horse is a boring dick. As are the other characters, too, but they are at least novel dicks, with something interesting going on.

The world is a pretty low-level one, with Han Li starting out in the 'secular' world, with a more wuxia martial arts flavor than xianxia, but things quickly escalate to magic dudes fighting magic battles. Otherwise it's your typical amoral dog-eat-dog, sect-eat-sect thing, with low-powered disciples thrown into deadly meat grinders and no one giving a shit.

The prose becomes readable, though the author has a lot telling instead of showing, and a LOT of expositionary dialogue. They also use a lot of mental dialogue to explain things, which becomes confusing when you can't tell whether the MC is muttering to themselves like a crazy person or what. The translations are perfectly fine.

You will like it if you liked ISSTH

It is very different from typical works in this genre.
It doesn't have a formula (constant blood bath, pride / arrogant comments, recycled plots).
Someone mentioned that the first 100 chapters are the prologue, which is true....the first main over powered fight comes around chapter 70
I saw it as ISSTH because of the cultivation world & the story telling style being very unique & not something you could find in 2-3 other books in this genre
It is lacking in comedy, no chicken bursting fire from its rear. Also over powered effect that people want to read about doesn't come every other second. The story is very realistic & has a style you might find in western literature

To sum it up its PLAIN

by bakaleaf

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

all I can say is if you have some free time and feel like reading something then just read this
No decent plot
No decent MC
No decent flow
and the most important part is NO DECENT GIRLS..

It was a TRAP I read this because the picture looks interesting
but as I read through out the chapters I realize
this is a good material to read if you can't sleep
its so boring that after reading some chapters you can't help but yawn

not like your other xianxia novels, it just lack some sort of impact? excuse my bad english.
this feels like one of those super slow build up type, if you are into these type of xianxia this will probably fit your taste.

So far

The concept is interesting but even if the MC comes across as strong (eventually) he seems kinda dim in the brain department...
Don't Gary-Stu stories reflect the writer? ^^
