This has been my favorite so far; I love the second arc.

It was so horrible to read because you know what happens so you’re just anticipating. The way it goes into detail with the plague and Xie Lian’s descent into despair/helplessness, how he doesn’t even believe in himself anymore. Then there is the scene with Hong Hong-er and you go “there he is, that’s why he’s like that”.
I am so glad that when it switches back to present day, it’s with a silly quest of solo-Xie Lian. It really lightened the tense air that had settled on the book.

Points deducted for:
-the land of fucking tender

Well, this one starts with a flashback and to be honest Qi Rong might need three most annoying character so my enjoyment level when he was on page was low.  However, it picked up and we got some little nuggets to tie the past to the present and then we transitioned to the present timeline.

The first section got quite dreary and dark and Xie Lian had a lot of growing as a new god.  That juxtaposed with the second half of the book that was quite comedic and humorous to the point it was close to slapstick was a little jarring but very effective in defining the massive character change that Xie Lian had gone through in his 800+ years.

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself and will shortly be reading the next installment.
