Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would - what a great surprise!

(The summary doesn't do it justice - "The self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel" is completely wrong, and "the very self-aware Demonic Sovereign" is a bit better, but this is not an "interview/interrogate" type of story!

Rather, it's more like: Devil Venerable Wenren E gets a mysterious book that tells the supposed future, centered around the fraut love of the foolish disciple Baili Qingmiao. He sets out to try and understand how things could play out like in the book, while using the foreknowledge it grants in hopes to change his fate... and the fate of his devoted vanguard, Yin Hanjiang.)

This story is both hilarious and moving! While the righteous cultivators feel like they're playing in a xianxia drama, the Demonic cultivators are absolute looney toon villains. Like the in-book readers say, I feel like a proud parent seeing my silly child grow into a promising young adult in Baili Qingmiao lol. And, of course, the relationship of Wenren E and Yin Hanjiang developed so nicely, with too many amazing moments to list!

I was recommended this after loving SVSSS, and I'm so glad I gave it a try!!!
