Review Detail of Dontlookdown in Legend of the Empyrean Blacksmith

Long story short, this novel is a hidden gem. It completely overturns the normal cultivation plotline, and instead forges its own path. One without young masters, grumpy elders who kill for no reason, and plain mcs. The good parts of this novel are: 1. A good mc 2. Side characters that arent 2d pieces of cardboard 3. Plot twists arent obvious 4. Good humor, and i mean i laughed at stuff, not corny jokes 5. Proggression, characters change and grow 6. BLACKSMITHING ISNT A PLOT TOOL! 7. The story can actually make you tear up Now the bad 1. Still has some cliches used, and not in a good way 2. Around chapter 50 or so the foreshadowing and info dumps become almost unbearable for a couple chapters. Almost like some mystery poem. 3. Sometimes the story moves from one place to another too quickly, can be confusing. 4. Not all the shameless jokes land 5. A couple grammar issues, mainly just a slight annoyance 6. Reading this may cause an existential crises. 7. Could make you cry But my favorite part is that this novel is one with a message. I wont say what it is in fear of ruining it (and the fact that i may have missed a part of it and the novel is far from finished) but just understand that the message it has to tell is quite beautiful in its own way.
