TLDR: Its a fairly generic cultivation murim series that pulls a Nano Machine halfway through and sidelines the main FMC for a forgettable side girl with zero personality or character traits beyond her furst appearance. Its barely a good turnyourbrainoff read with how infuriating some of the writing decisions are and how many times the same cliches get reused. At the end of the day this is a series that needs an enormous amount of faith and willpower to get through continuously riding on the will it get better train while it never gets better. This series starts off slow builds up to an absolutely fantastic middle arc and then gets shot in the gut 257 times by the author for fanservice. Spoilers ahead obviously. This series doesnt really pick up until about 50 chapters in honestly. The beginning is dumb and outlandish the constant mockery gets old fast and the premise is weak. Youre not reading this if youre big on the story though. In place of a weak story is well choreographed and interesting characters and character development that although rushed at times drives it to be further and further interesting. This is fine usually when you continue developing character relationships and dynamics while exploring the overall plot just a bit at a time. Its how most manhwa gets written after all. Until it isnt. Beyond chapter 100110 the author single handedly kills off the most interesting character dynamic that they had going WuMoon and Mara in order to give the other love interest a power up into the Heavenly Demon and feign tragedy. Its not just a rug pull but a spit in the face to anyone following this series how I described it. From this point onwards the series drops all of that interesting dynamic and development in order to drive the plot which as stated prior sucks shit. Its a generic big bad secret organization setup but it never posits them as a reasonable and contiguous threat to the MCs lifestyle. Theyre just evil for the sake of being evil and end up being metaphors for fascism later on why???. The author commits character terrorism on so many different levels in order to pander to the harem fans and the fans of the other FMC who had literally zero involvement in the plot up until her power up and was being actively phased out. But of course this is a cultivationheavy murim series the fuck did I expect. This series is a long ride to the top. A long one but right when it gets there it trips falls crashes and burns in a fiery demise with a spit in the face for good measure. Ifs outright insulting to have followed this for so long honestly.
