The first time I read this series, I was so busy drowning in names and titles and genre conventions that I found the humour really off-putting. Now that I'm a little more genre-savvy I've returned to find unexpected depth in the characters. I also get the humour now, even if it's still a bit too slapstick at times for my taste. Still, I have come to love MXTX and I dread the day when I'll have well and truly run out of books.

This is not the first MXTX story I've read, but so far it is definitely my favorite. I really enjoyed how cucumber bro breaks the fourth wall while still indulging in some of the more well-known tropes in wuxia lit. I found myself laughing out loud more than once, so I'm excited to see how the second novel holds up. A well-deserved 4.25 ⭐ out of 5.

Not exactly a spoiler, but something to consider:

There is no 🌶 in volume one of SVSSS and I know a lot of people gravitate towards these novels because they're spicy. But nothing really "happens" until volume two.

An embodiment of one of my favorite tropes, "Crack Treated Seriously". I look forward to the rest of the serious.
