The only Chinese Novel I have genuinely enjoyed, and I have read a LOT of them. There are many good points about the story but I think the thing that is best is that the MC can fail. In many other stories they will bend over backwards to always have their MC be morally justified and always successful to the point that it ruins the story, makes it dull amd cliche, and makes every character shallow and thoughtless. Not this one. He can fail, he has failed, but he has never failed to be a compelling character in a genuinely well thought out world with interesting side characters. The only bad thing about this novel is that other ones seem like repetitive obvious trash in comparison. 10/10 story.
