It starts out slow and it takes a while to pick up, but once it does it becomes a lot more enjoyable. I wouldn't say it's plot driven nor character driven, but more like theme driven (if that makes sense?) Thats not to say that I felt the plot or characters were lacking.

"you are already my unbreakable tether to this world"
3.5/5
wow okay those last few chapters were truly wild.
there's so much to love here:
- reluctant found family, with a bunch of unruly kids coming together to reform an old sect in shambles.
- all the characters had such distinct personalities.
- yan zhengming, my spoilt stuck up bratty child i love him. his character arc was just chef's kiss.
- cheng qian and yan zhengming have the funniest couple dynamics ever. there's not much romance in this novel but the little there is i loved.
- action! adventure! after reading priest's other politically heavy stories, this one felt so fresh.
- also i like how this story seems to dismantle the concept of cultivation and ascension and emphasizes on the importance of humanity instead - really interesting to see.
(won't lie though, this was quite confusing to read at some points since there are like FIVE different translators for the english version. hoping there's a single consistent translation one day, liu yao deserves it).
anyway, i'm so excited for the donghua. i have a feeling i know where season 1 will end and i'm scared.
