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😭

This is my first time reading such a story, and while not what I expected I definitely enjoyed turning each page. There are definitely adult themes in the story, it is maybe teenager friendly, but the story was otherwise engaging; rich in mythos, the story has the characters in a world that can easily confuse the reader if they are not somewhat familiar with the mythology. The romance itself seemed to fall a little flat, so I won't be grabbing the sequel, but that may be the norm for this series and simply doesn't jive with me.

Definitely an interesting and enjoyable read, I would recommend getting a physical copy of the book so you can enjoy the artwork within!
