The way the author first of shows similar plots where the misery of the characters was displayed, and then shows how lin rufei and gu xuandu experienced the same pain on a even more serious level, rlly portrays the struggle in an indirect way.

For example, Fu yu giving his life for his village is comparable to the heavenly ruler sacrificing his flesh for the people. There is also an arc of loving a sword spirit as a partner, what gu xuandu had to do to keep his lover.

I rlly love the indirect telling of how gx would forever wait for lrf like in the jiao arc. The longing and yearning are being hinted at and that just makes my heart cry out quietly.

The way that lrf and gx build his body with a lot of difficulty couldve been at least made into one big arc. I kinda missed where lrf suffers because gx is gone.

I also didn’t understand why lrf wasnt super powerful after getting his old body or why gx got his body back but the heavenly ruler didn’t.

How wu ao played the villain also was very short and somehow it felt like his end wasn’t tied together well enough.

Another thing I couldn’t look past is that lrf is essentially a groomer and fell in love with his adopted son??? I could look past it a bit because he fell in love again as an adult.

Some things felt missing like the cat or how the monk knew them. But that are just tiny details that aren’t that important.

There’s not so much written about our MC becoming an overpowered character like how his former being used to be. It’s up to you to appreciate or be disappointed with that, but personally I do appreciate that although Lin Rufei is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Teacher (I forgot what the title is, exactly), when it got to the point where this was revealed the author still maintained Lin Rufei’s identity.

" MC however, knew the name of that madman. His name was SC1 and he was once a very good chess player. Only later, when he lost the most important bone in his life, did he go crazy''. This f*cking side agst story just to brewed MC opinion on malexmale romance. For the mystery part.. If u're an old novel reader u actually can really guessed 40% of it after ch 25 or so bcs they always mention it, agree with someone who say that author and ML like to be ''mysterious'' is a bit annoying look at this ''ML could have said it directly, but he chose not to.'' Thing.. Or this “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I don’t even know myself so how can I explain it for you to understand?”-hmm ML, your excuse is so lame, isn't it, plus we have more than one support character that also being mysterious, author and them are refuse to open the box although they already give the box in front of us this author I have to say that they really have such a dark jokes on their bone that make me feel guilty to laughing at some arch, but what pissed me off actually not just the way of mystery unveil but our MC is kind of dumb in critical way, want to say that this novel is beautiful but I keep remember the dumb mystery thing, really want to cry and laugh at the same time

i also hoped that the author would've give more details about MC past life when he was the Heavenly Ruler.
