I NEVER would've thought this book was THAT good wtf, I started reading with my best friend and the begining was a little bit slow but then it picked up the pacing and I became familiar with the characters and holy shit did this hurt but it was so worth it, I'm immediately starting the next one

Couldn’t get behind Mo Ran as a character and I’m not a fan of
Chu Wanning having feelings for him that young.
I just don’t think this book is for me and that’s ok.

I found the translations too poor, and the content too unsuitable. It was very very triggering, which made the jokes come off wrong.

If I could give this book more than five stars I would! It is beautifully written and paced, the adventure and fantasy elements are well laid out and interesting, the characters are complex and draw you in. I’m so dedicated to this adventure and cannot wait to start book two!

I wish I could read this in the original Chinese because the translation leaves a lot to be desired. There doesn’t seem to have been any effort made to make the translation enjoyable to read. That on top of cardboard flat characters made for a pretty bad read.

honestly this too me a while to get into, i struggled with the way it was written at first and it was difficult bc
rooting for the villain as the main character was so hard & even throughout i couldn't help but be annoyed the ML, especially once we saw even more of the person that he hated.
🫠 I love the characters so much, like so damn much especially Chu Wanning. Like i cannot, this man will forever have my heart. i didn't rlly see any issues with the book & i loved the story so it's 4.75 bumped up to a 5 bc of enjoyment purposes. I couldn't put the book down tbh😭
