Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In a Mary-Sue novel, the readers all liked the Devil Venerable, the second male lead who devoted himself whole-heartedly to the female lead. However the female lead only loved the male lead who ab*sed her physically and mentally.

Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!

Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.

In order to understand why the female lead wasn’t attracted to him, the self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel.

Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!

–

After obtaining the book, the Devil Venerable discovered that the book described the world he lived in. This book said that after he sacrificed himself for the female lead, the fourth male lead, his silent and loyal subordinate Yin Hanjiang, blackened and attempted to kill her as a sacrificial offering for his lord.

Devil Venerable Wenren È: Yin Hanjiang, this Venerable wants to know why you wanted to kill the female lead.

Yin Hanjiang was silent.

Wenren È: If you refuse to speak, this Venerable will cut out your tongue and have it with alcohol!

Yin Hanjiang: …

Wenren È: What the hell are you blushing for?!

★★★★★ [4.5/5 stars]

The only thing I regretted is that I didn't read this amazing novel earlier. This has a lot of good reviews but I don't know, maybe I just don't want this to end up as being overrated that's why I kept on delaying. And it's my fault that I'm late on discovering this great novel!

What can I say? I loved almost everything about this. I said almost because the only thing I don't particularly liked about this (aside from being so short lol) is the s*upidity and naivety... more>> of Baili Qingmiao. The first part was full of her brainless self. I admire her character development at the end, though, and it revealed by then why she acted that way.

I loved that every plotholes and illogical events presented at the beginning from the perspective of the books were gradually uncovered by Wenren E (MC). Everything was answered before the novel ends. There's also this war part between the righteous and demonic sect (which was usually shown at every xianxia novels) and there was a clear explanation on why the war was needed every once in a while. Reading that explanation, it didn't occur to me that waging a war like that was significant, especially on the mortal world. That was actually a really good reasoning.

I also freaking adore the relationship between Wenren E and Yin Hanjiang (ML). The sincerity and angst were balanced. It's a slow romance but the transition of their relationship from being master-subordinate to lovers was tender and warm but painful at the same time. As an individual, Wenren E is a demon lord of a demonic sect, ruthless and cold, but he never involved or harmed innocent mortals. He's a really great character. Yin Hanjiang is Wenren E's most loyal subordinate and he actually saw himself as his Venerable's sword, and actually voluntarily acted like one. He was like a puppet who always answers to his Venerable without asking or giving any opinion. And that attitude actually affected his mentality at one point and from their, a lot has happened to him and his relationship with Wenren E. Their development as an individual is amazing, as well as the development of their relationship.

Apart from the MC and ML, my most favorite character is Zhongli Qian. Since I always loved smart characters, he really got my attention. He's actually the smartest and most observant (aside from Shu Yanyan) and you just have to give him few hints in order for him to know the situation. He's a gentleman but he's not overly kind and naive. He's also not hypocrite just like those righteous cultivators. Even Wenren E respected him a lot and Yin Hanjiang even trusted him with the management of the sect. In the sect, he's the most rational and decent person with no underhanded tricks and really has the sense of responsibility. Poor him, because of that, he handled all the stress inside the sect LMAO

I'm telling you, this novel is really worth the read. It deserved to have so many good reviews and ratings. Amazing, from the plot to the characters! It's so great and everything really satisfies me. I highly recommend this novel to literally everyone! Please pick this book up, I'm pretty confident you won't regret spending your time reading this! <<less

This was such an amazing read. I went in not expecting much at all but it left me captivated. I was browsing for a long time trying to find a good danmei novel to read and this one perfectly fitted my taste. Although the novel didn’t focus on the romance for the main CP, each and every lovey-dovey scenes were just so teeth rootingly sweet.
Spoiler

The MC (Wenren È) follow the Path is Slaughter so it took him a while just to even figure out the concept of love. But once he realized his true feeling, he didn’t waste a single second going after the ML (Yin Hanjiang). Speaking of the ML, he is just too precious! The way he always dedicated fully on his Venerable Lord, caring about nothing other than him and how he’s always so terrified to disappoint the MC was so sweet yet heartbreaking. It took the MC some time to talk him out of his insecurities, leave behind their master-servant relationship and instead stand together as equals. The way they both care for each other so much was amazing (TAT)

[collapse]
.

The plot was also incredibly interesting. The author took the typical cliques and morphed them into a intriguing and unique plot line. The side characters were definitely a plus. Everyone had their own personalities and goals and even the villains weren’t brain dead at all. Even if some characters might seem to make illogical and completely s*upid choices, the reasons were always logically explained afterwards. And I just LOVED the subordinates of the Xuanyuan Sect. Each character was more chaotic than the next. Their conversations and trains of thoughts were just so ridiculous I almost died from laughing multiple times.

All in all, 1000/10 novel. Definitely recommend reading.

You don’t know how impressed I am by this novel... It’s not life changing but certainly worth reading.

The plot is fast paced but not rushed which I absolutely loved— 20 chapters in and we already have so many good fight scenes!! As a reader who loves action and danmei, I am absolutely inlove with this one. This novel also helps you build your 3rd world views and the reason why orthodox sects and demonic sects have war from time to time was well explained!

The comedy? The angst? The plot? The... more>> romance? It is all, chef’s kiss*

The MC is a demonic sect leader, the ML is his most trusted subordinate, but even so, there is no power imbalance here, they’re equals and I LOVE IT. I really love this CP ah... Their love was so natural and the way ML’s inner demons were cleared really hit that spot in my heart. Their love is so enviable, everyone wishes to find the love between these two.

The characters are well fleshed, the plot was well made, each intentions and motivations were reasonable, everyone is a protagonist of their own story. The way we get to see different perspectives of two protagonists (abusive romance) and how vast the difference was... was truly impressive.

The lines that Wenren says... him asking whether there’s a book about them.. makes me feel like they truly exist, perhaps if they do, we will never know.

Go read it! You are missing out if you don’t— ignore the negative reviews you see, you’ll love this one for sure!!

I'm so glad I started this novel without any expectations, because I ended up enjoying myself WAY more than I'd ever thought.

Angst, suspense, fluff, crack, this novel is perfectly balanced in all aspects. Even the characterization, which I initially thought was lackluster, ended up becoming truly good. I can tell the author put so much patience and care in this work, and the translator took their time in delivering a high quality, consistent translation. I'm very thankful.

The MC's characterization surprised me most of all because I initially thought it was... more>> the one that had changed the least, the one that was seemingly never going to change, but what I didn't realize is that the novel is set when the character has already changed. After reading his past, he also became a solid character that I throughly empathized with.

The ML started terrifying and pitiful but turning up to be super cute. Hangjiang-ah, my baby, I'm so happy for your character development!

I also loved the unique starting concept this novel has. I've never read a concept like this, it was very refreshing and interesting.

Overall, a great novel I really enjoyed and recommend. <<less

One of the best Chinese novels I have ever read!

Spoiler

from Wenren E's radical views on righteous and demon cultivators to the vivid side characters to the plot twists to the romance, the whole novel was a blast to read!

[collapse]

I'm just upset that it isn't longer. I wish the author wrote some chapters on the MC and ML's life when they ascended or added more extras.

Ah, this novel was a joy to read. Mourningscrow did an excellent job with the translation and it really really works as a comedy with a heart. And when the main couple inevitably gets together, it is absolutely believable and there's no weird power imbalance or sobbing of "but I am not woooorthy".

So if you're in the mood for something light that will make you chuckle at the characters (and sometimes at yourself when it exposes silly romance tropes that you might enjoy), go for this. It delivers. :)

Rating: 4.3/5

A plot-driven xianxia novel with slow-burn romance

You should read this novel if you enjoy the following.

... more>> Hilarious romance harem/stallion parody

The novel started out as a parody as MC is assigned the task of fixing plot holes of the original novel, in which he is a love interest. It did a great job deconstructing tropes such as Mary Sue and harem setup. In doing so, the book brought up the discussion of love vs obsession/idolization/infatuation.

Since our MC is clueless about romance, hilarity ensues when he attempts to understand love, and "cure" OG! FL of her infatuation. His approach to matchmaking is definitely the most unique out there LOL.

Refreshing, plot-driven story with complex world-building

The novel told a mystery/adventure story spanning different realms. It has heavy Buddhism elements - karma (cause and effect), and reincarnation cycles. A large part of the story focuses on cultivation as characters advance, struggle and reflect on their paths (Dao).

Since the majority of the cast are demonic cultivators, who enjoy bickering, scheming, and competing against each other, it's refreshing. It's hilarious to watch them form alliances while backstabbing each other to overthrow the Demon Lord, only to get crushed, and forced back to submission + scheming again. Not to mention their eagerness to develop or use their demonic arts, it's almost cute.

Unique and well-rounded seme protagonist

The MC is a cold-hearted and rational Demon Lord, who cultivates the Path of Slaughter. His approach to problems is to face them head-on, and employ no-nonsense, result-oriented methods befitting a demonic cultivator ie. Violence and torture.

Despite his path and Demon Lord status, our lead is a compassionate individual. His actions are driven by the desire to protect the common people. It may be best to summarize his philosophy by this quote, "the Dao was dispassionate yet held compassion." The MC philosophical outlook is definitely what makes him fascinating and unique among danmei + xianxia leads.

Unconditional love

While the romance is subtle and slow-burn, it's very heart-warming. Both characters are the type to show affection and dedication through their actions. I wish there are more fluffy moments between them though.

Colorful and well-developed supporting characters

Maybe since both leads are neither cute, I'm very much in love with the side characters, particularly the OG! FL and her (forced) found-family. Their companionship is heart-warming despite differences in moral compasses AND intelligence (lol).

In particular, I adore Zhongli Qian as the brainiac, morally-just character who is forced into babysitting, and running errands by/for our MC (lol). The novel also has excellent female characters, who are ambitious, independent, ruthless yet hella loveable. Promise they will grow on you!

Conclusion

If you enjoy a plot-heavy story with a sprinkle of romance, well-rounded characters, and comedic undertone, definitely check this novel out!

P/S: Recommend reading mourningcrow version. <<less

Ok. I didn't go into this thinking I would like it so much. It dragged a bit around chapter 40 or so for me, and I was worried, but it picked right back up!

This author is just.... Really good at tying seemingly mismatched loose ends together, and then you realize that huh.... The loose ends DID match! This is somehow lighthearted despite the huge amount of mu*der lol. It doesn't fall into the pit that a lot of cultivation novels do where they start to get too stuffy.

The character development was really amazing and the story tells a unique way of the cultivation world with most the the things being logical and reasonable unlike the clinche novels. The romance is mostly in last few chapters but is really good. A good read and highly recommended one. The novel will leave was amazed by its story execution and rational factors.

I started reading this without really knowing what to expect and, boy, I was not disappointed!

The "change some things to avoid a bad fate" trope was handled in a totally different way than I anticipated and I was so interested that I completed it in no time! The plot's good, it's not heavy and there are a lot of great comedic scenes. At some point I noticed that the romance part quite took its time, but looking at the story as a whole, it fit just right into the picture.

I... more>> wasn't sure what to think about Wenren E because there was something to him and I couldn't put my finger on it but later he turned out to be quite an interesting fellow.

Yin Hanjiang, this poor boi, made a 180 degrees turn. Docile weapon without his own will, mad demonic maniac, calm puppy in love - it was so amazing to see the changes he underwent. I personally think the thing with the mask and his emotions were a great way to depict his oppression of his feelings.

I also loved those last chapters when
Spoiler

Wenren E showed Yin Hanjiang his past in order to tell him that he's also just a human being and not some invincible deity, and that way resolving YHJ's 'I'm not worthy of my Venerable' problem

[collapse]

I have to mention the side characters too. Without them the story wouldn't be the same. This is one of those rare novels where there are enough side characters who have an actual personality. At least those who are more important.

Some things that I hoped for didn't happen (Baili Qingmiao x Que Congxue) and I really wouldn't have complained if there were a bit more romance between the main two, but I'm generally happy with this novel! <<less

Solid 5/5. The rating this novel has deserves it truly. Plot? Dang if u want it here, it's here all right. One of the best novels with solid world settings. Author-san got the job well done. I even got goosebumps after reading extras mennn, the first one especially. Albeit it's one of the last chapters which makes a lasting impression, I gotta say that the closure author gave for the uhmm (original setting (??)) had me shiver huhu which was why it drove me to post a review cuz it... more>> really has a good plot and world setting.

The Mc? Dang look at other reviews for that cuz I know they have better descriptions than what I would tell. All I gotta say is that you'll definitely love him

romance? Dang bruh it's good as well. Love how the main leads are connected and dependent of each other (not gonna explain how, read if u wanna know hehe). Side characters are also well-defined.

and I gotta say, there is an occasional thrust of knives coming huhu. All I remember was me crying 😭.
Spoiler

dang when ML fell into madness, I cried and succeeding chapters after that successfully made me cry more 😭😭😭 I dunno if it's still called love cuz what he had for MC was way beyond that and vice versa! Goddang the only thing I'm unsatisfied with is the fluff & snusnu. I need more details of their romance cuz I gotta take back the tears this novel made💆‍♀️

This is a great novel. The reason why I’m not giving 5 is because I was hoping for more romance.

One interesting thing about this one is the side characters of the xuanyuan sect. Their fights are so refreshing! I usually don’t care much about the side characters but this time it was an absolute treat. Thank you authors and translators!

Waaahh what a satisfying read. Very intriguing and worth the time.

If you are having doubts as to whether to read this story or not because it has little romance. You are absolutely wrong. This story can be included in the books having pure, unconditional and wholly devoted love between MC and ML. Also, it is not like those novels where the story could be even better without the romance, because from the start what the MC and ML feels is a major drive in the story whether in the first... more>> book or here. The star symbolism is a good touch from the author, I really liked it.

Plus, the humor in here is good, its not awkward or you're forced to laugh with the characters, but the writing and their situation are unnecessarily hilarious. After I finished the story I feel satisfied with it all, there's no rushed final chapter, no loose ends, and when explaining the existence of the books I had goosebumps. Okay, I don't want to influence the first time reader's thoughts or anything. Just read it, you won't regret it. It is worthy of the high rating. <<less

Brilliant!!! The story is so exciting and entertaining.

I loved the characters, the plot, the world building and the pacing. The characters were all quite well-developed and had personality. At first I wanted to smack Baili Qingmiao, I mean what's wrong with you girl?!?!?

Spoiler

Hè Wenzhao is an a**hole, although he considered himself "righteous" in some aspect, but come on now, you belong to the righteous sect, no? Oh well, usually it's the righteous sects that are more evil than those in the Demonic sect. Good thing she finally realised and was able to conquer her infatuation! Ugh!

[collapse]

And for my dear Wenren È and Yin Hanjiang, I love these two, although I wanted papapa scenes (author is a little stingy. Ha!), I am still satisfied with how their relationship unfolds, anyway this is shounen ai therefore not expecting something wild.

I also love the side characters Shu Yanyan, Zhongli Qian, Su Huai and Master Shi. I also love the back story of Wenren È and little Yin Hanjiang, it's so cute and at the same time very beautiful.

That said, it is highly recommended! <<less

I don't feel like doing a super long analysis of the novel, so I'll just say that it was great. I really liked this story. I found the characters to all be pretty unique with each their own interesting personnalities and there really wasn't a single moment where the plot was stalling. It is mainly focused on the plot and puts the romance kind of in the back but it doesn't mean it gets neglected. I actually liked this kinf of more subtle romance where you can see it clowly... more>> develop with the flow of events.
