Well... I definitely wasn't expecting a xianxia knockoff. Sprinkle in some magic instead and you have this novel. It's sad, why can't the author write something original instead of slapping the xianxia template into everything. This whole story reeks of passive aggression. A typical face slapping scene dragged ooooonnnnnnn because of that. Face slapping is already a cheap cop out, but this author managed to make it even more unbearable than it has any rights to be. Author, grow some balls please. It's like you want to c*m but keep getting c*ckblocked, and you like that or something. Characters are the typical 1D bland cut outs, cardboard villains, plastic MC, etc. Typical MC with his self-m*sturbat*ry mindset. Author writes like he doesn't knows how people work. MC doesn't care about social stuff, paragraphs on how social conventions works and 1 extra sentence at the back from his lackey agreeing that "yea, he totally don't care." Rolls eye, stop lying to yourself you try hard loser. Like all those beaten to death xianxia template, plot armour is maxed out here. Skipped a whole bunch of unnecessary subpar 'feel-good' scenes. Stop beating this dead horse already, let him die in peace. RIP my 30 minutes.

LIKEhi, I was just going through the reviews just before planning to start this novel, your review caught my eye. Thanks for giving a clear cut idea about this one. So, for all the more reason can you recommend some good ones which don't have a repeated plot and all those face slappings, dragging scenes etc...?

Dialogue villain: ahaha, you are only a mage, what can you do against my cliche attack #1? MC: I can do this! *cliche attack #2* villain: No..No...No.. That's impossible! MC: Your tricks are useless against me! side characters watching +1 respect +1 religiously follow Side character that previously offended MC: I'm so lucky to be following MC-sama *fangirl screeching*
Dr_SaltedFish:So far I'm only following lord of the mysteries religiously and the one I highly recommend.
