I read some of the TGCF unofficial tl (p much just the contents of this volume), and already loved the story as it was... The translation team rly did a great job here bc this tl breathes so much life into it! It feels like a brand new story! ^^

The main characters are absolutely incredible. I found myself endlessly charmed by everything Xie Lian does (´◡`ʃƪ) ! I'm alr a huge fan of San Lang, Fu Yao, & Nan Feng too... Truly couldn't ask for a better group of MCs. The dynamics & hidden feelings... It's all so juicy!! 😩

As for the story... What can I say! It's off to such a great start, with just enough hints to keep me intrigued as to just what Xie Lian's been up to all this time / what awaits him in the future ! Yet also dreading finding out haha...

looks directly at the story of General Hua... T_T

 

I did take off half a star bc I feel like the Banyue arc drags just a bit... But other than that, really enjoyed!
As TGCF is the only MXTX novel I didn't get to finish before Seven Seas picked them up, I'm very excited to see where this story goes !

 TGCF is probably the best of the first volumes of MXTX's works that just came out in English. This volume covers the Banyue arc and ends around the same time as the donghua so if you've seen it, you might think there's not much new here but actually reading it is much different to having seen the animation. MXTX's novels are great for their worldbuilding and that is showcased very well in TGCF. Her style of writing is a bit less conventional for people who aren't already used to the web novel danmei genre - however it only takes a little bit of getting used to.
