Review Detail of Henyee in The Daily Life of the Immortal King

Daily Life of the Immortal King is a unique and engaging novel in several respects. While set in a world where technology and cultivation work hand-in-hand, its modern-day setting is something that readers can relate to. At the same time, it’s replete with popular culture references and memes and buzzwords that are like Easter Eggs to delight anyone who recognizes them. But the more you read, the more you’ll realise how the novel stands on its merits. It starts off as a slice-of-life that evolves into a quick-paced plot as more and more characters are introduced and the protagonist becomes unwittingly and reluctantly drawn in. Also, by now you can probably tell that this novel is just ridiculously funny. You will giggle at some of the in-jokes, and laugh out loud at some of the absurd plot twists. It touches on familiar, popular trends like live-streaming and online gaming, and use them to amusing effect in this novel.   The super MC himself is hilarious in how he tries to live a low-key life and keep his powers under wra**. But circumstances and other characters conspire against him. And the cast of characters are a real mixed bunch; from the MC’s long-suffering parents to Great Death-Courting Senior and his sense of justice to Odd Zhuo and his ineffable luck, there is always something to love (or love to hate!) about the characters. Also given how more and more characters start to show up, the translators have decided to stick with name translations that will be easier to remember and which in most cases reflect the characters’ personalities themselves.
