Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Novel) Vol. 1 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

adventurous emotional funny slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Damn I’m gonna be so honest I literally can’t get into the plot. Sure, Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangi are cute, I love them! But I’m losing it a bit with the extra characters and build up and my heart is just not in it :( wanna pick up again sometime soon though! 

Edit: I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK OMG! 

OK, so this is definitely my least favourite MXTX, I just can’t seem to get into it. I think the premise is really interesting, I just find myself too lost and uninterested in the story and characters for it to really carry for me. I might just have to stick to the donghua/manhwa for this one! Main characters are great, just everyone else and the overarching plot seem to not hit for me as hard as SVSSS or TGCF :( 

I’ll try/attempt to read the other books sometime in the future, but will definitely not be a priority read for me.
