I read this when I was young, what I can comprehend as I remember from this book is how brutal was it, and how terrifying must it be for them.

As many other young adults, with fear of missing out, I end up reading this book because of trends, unfortunately it doesn't live up to my high expectations, I do enjoy them honestly, just not as I initially would be, it's not as heart wrenching as others might explain.

I wish I could read this while I'm young, just to spike my imagination as child that I could be real demigod as well. but I'm glad I'm able to read this either way, I was bring back to the great fantasy ever, the thrilling feeling reading the adventure of the trio fighting the enemies were fun.

It's a little bit more complicated than the former series, but also kinda confusing, karna gak halus transisi antar arc nya dan kaya muter-muter aja, efek karna tokohnya sedikit kali ya?

Tapi it's a good read so far, easy to finish

I enjoy it so much, questioning my own taste right now because I'm so sure I never like the villain kinda character that much before, but it's surprising how much I love moran in any form

he's truly entertaining, and unexpectedly I love xue meng that I originally would thought, love it

I'm done, I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this story, from the main to extra chapters to a point I'm not sure if I like the ancient one or their time in modern life

I still wanna know about the crown prince tho hahaha, but I guess huaisi isn't in love with him that much, he seems to be more happy with newly founded friendship with our main couple more

He goes from npc to beloved side character ahh and qingyu my baobei, he is just so cute, he really went from cold detached personality to a cute and clingy wife, and he's so smart, and beautiful and perfect and that's truly match with jiang xing, I said it before and I'll say it again, jiang is simply best gong so far for me, he tick every box of best quality gong ever

The switch between ancient and modern theme also goes align, they fit in anything setting, if they were to stuck in ABO universe, no doubt it will also be fit them

Wish I can erase to re-experience it, but maybe rereading isn't bad either tho I'm not fan of rereading gang

I've done all. It is nice, but perhaps due to my reading always longer than this, this book felt too short for me to be attached, yet it feels slow until the trojan arc happened. It best says to say that I'm losing my interest until trojan arc and reluctantly to continue reading.

Perhaps because it's classified as fanfiction too? As there's a record of the two written centuries ago. It didn't seems to excited me much as I already foresee the ending. It's tragic love story at the end, whether it caused by Achilles ego or the prophet, it will bound to happen anyway. May they meet and be happy in another universe
