Review Detail of boomeyoo in Reverend Insanity
Review detail
I want to preface this by saying this series is not actually complete. China put a ban on Reverend Insanity along with many other novels a few years ago for "cultural reasons". RI has absolutely no chill, the themes within have strong anti-authority and law of the jungle lessons. This is blatantly an evil protagonist series, and beyond that, it spits in the face of many traditional Chinese values. Sounds awesome to a western audience, but the Chinese government isn't a fan it seems. The author is now writing a series called Infinite Bloodcore, and has said that once that series wraps up (earliest of 2023), if the ban is lifted, he will continue publishing chapters for RI. Most people would be pretty deflated by that news, but this series is good enough that I would still completely recommend it. Chinese literature has stagnated extremely hard, this is the shining hero among the thousands of cardboard cutout chinese serializations. The story follows Fang Yuan, a merciless avatar of self-preservation. With near complete understanding of human morality and values, he sets out to obtain immortality in a world where nearly everything stands against him. He is ruthless, but not cruel. Tricky, but not unbelievably so. Nothing is out of bounds, nothing is sacred, nobody is safe. Can you imagine writing a character following those concepts and making them somehow NOT come off as the edgiest trash alive? Actually good writing. I know, shocking.

It is sad that RI was banned. But if it returnes I will read it! It is just the best novel around!!! I know this might be unfair towards the Chinese fans, but they could at least let RI continue in the west. In my opinion. PS: Do you know where to read Infinite bloodcore? Here on WN they stopped the translation for some reason.

Thx for the hint. I read it just now. It's not a problem to me if the story starts slow but I don't know where to read it. Here on WN the translation has stopped. No new chapters in 7 months! Can you tell me where I can find it?
Tyrannical_Book:plz read review on novel updates by 'macklinrw' before read

Tyrannical_Book:translated by same translator google search it (BloodcoreTL) you'll find it
Infinite bloodcore huh? Why does it sound like there's going to be a Fang Yuanish MC present in this work as well? Coz I remember his path in the first life was related to blood. Anyway, I don't want a restart of RI now. Frankly, the ban has kinda ruined the whole mood for me to look forward to it. Coz I don't think the novel won't ever be censored after it was forced to stagnate in such a way. I don't want a mellowed down Fang Yuan after this ban lifts. I don't want him to introduce goody two shoes ideologies suddenly after 2.2k+ chapters. That's why I don't want RI to ever get resuscitated just to be the tamed version of it's former self. On the other hand, I've developed some expectations from Infinite Bloodcore. Imma read some MTLs if I can find em.
