"You are just a murderer." Heh. Thats a bit rich, coming from Jake. He's as much a murderer as she is. Even if he kills because of the Ordeals while Lu Yan kills out of selfishness, in the end they both kill in order to become stronger. I don't think calling someone a murderer has any meaning in their situation.

I was expecting him to remain at least partially blind and gain some sort of energy/mana vision to compensate. A blind MC is refreshing and seemed interesting, its really a shame to get rid of his main selling point like that tbh...

I don't really have a ship yet but I would very much prefer a talented girl (comparable to the MC or at least not too far away). As DaoistTamashii said Villin will certainly become a very powerful Magus and since I like power couples having a strong and reliable love interest to journey alongside him towards the peak of magic would be a real plus.
