A review by wldyoukndly
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

4.0

After nearly a month of constantly reading and devouring this behemoth of a book clocking in at over 400,00 words and 1000 pages I can finally say, I AM DONE.

Did I enjoy it? I did.
Would I read it again? mhm...probably not.

There were many things that I really loved in the novel that was not included in the adaptations, but overall I think I preferred the cohesiveness of the live action and the donghua a lot more. I found myself quite startled by the jumps between time and flashbacks with no indication of such and maybe it was me just not paying close enough attention but I was always a little confused at first.

I appreciated that the novel had yiling laozu!wwx have red eyes and be extra unhinged during that period of time. That was hot and I loved every moment of it. Its reassuring to know that yiling laozu is sexy in the original novel and every adaptation of this content. Love that for me.

Overall it was good and I'm glad I read it after putting it off for so long, but I'd probably refer back to one of the adaptions if I wanted to jump back into the world of mdzs at any given time in the future. The 1000+ pages is just...so much.

as a final note.......... wei wuxian what you did to bichen is unforgivable.

UNFORGIVABLE.
