You may be asking yourself "Is this book good?" and the answer to that is:
No. No, definitely not.
You know, I don't really read light novels, and that's mostly because every time I do they're just... kind of bad? It's got to be a translation thing. I imagine that books written in East Asian languages are incredibly difficult to translate in a way that is pleasing for English speakers, and I likewise doubt that they're shelling out money for the best translators for things like light novels.
But here's the thing: Even if this book is kind of objectively bad, it's also a lot of fun. That, and I'm already a big fan of The Untamed, the C-Drama that is currently on Netflix. And I love the characters. And the art was pretty.
So I thoroughly enjoyed reading this truly, objectively terrible book. I had a lot of fun with it. I'm going to read the rest of the series, and then I'm probably going to read other Mo Xiang Tong Xiu books too, because dammit, sometimes I just want something fun, even if it is, again, really quite atrocious.
