4.25

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.
