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

adventurous slow-paced

3.75

I started reading the books because of how much I loved the show "The Untamed".
I initially started reading the book in an English translation, and hated that I was not enjoying it. It was not good. I abandoned the book, then came back when I found a translation in my native language. It seemed almost a different book. 
I had a great time reading this. But... if you're reading the English translation. Uh, maybe don't judge the book by it, lol.
Overall, I still think the show is better. Of course, there's the matter of censorship in the queer relationhip in the show, which is garbage, but I've heard that's not a problem in the novels. So, nice. At the same time, the way the show developed the characters was so awesome that anything less might seem weak. I think the book is very descriptive, but it doesn't show enough. Either way, I'm going to continue the series because I'm enjoying myself.
