4.0

This was my third time experiencing this story, as I've watched the donghua and read the manwha before finally picking the novel up. Because of this it did take me a bit to get into the book, but there was enough new information and interactions that it definitely felt worth it.

This series has been my first foray into the wuxia and danmei genres. I absolutely adore the interactions between all of the characters. I have been spoiled on some scenes in the later novels, but I'm actually kinda glad of that, because the foreshadowing is perfection. There will be just one sentence that completely changes how I view an interaction.

The "style" of the writing does take a bit to get used to, as you can 100% tell that this is a translation. Some words and phrases are used that seem really out of place, or a character may say something that does not suit their character. I am in love with this series though, and will definitely be seeking out MXTX's other works.
