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?!

It's awesome.

This novel is funny, interesting and refreshing.

I like main characters development. I also like side characters which have different personality and different goals.

Devil Venerable is really strong, but anyway he faced few challenging situations.

Many episodes are funny, yet some scenes are sad and tragic.

The romance is really slow, but I love it this way.

while reading one of the reviews that said "little romance" and "no *** to the end" I had my doubts about reading it. but after I finally wanted to try... oh I never regret reading it. the story is very fresh and interesting... when you read the story you will think to yourself that if there is no romance that's fine too... because the story is very entertaining. and the romance that is given here in my opinion is also enough. As for the characters, I've always disliked the female... more>> characters in danmei novels but this is an exception... some of the female characters here I like because they're so cute. MC and ML are very good, for MC there has been a lot of praise for him in other reviews. and also for ml, ah it appeals to me, he's a bit horror but cute... a few words for the two protagonists of the book in the novel... yes I really hate that hwc, every chapter I read it I just hate it... and for bqm some chapters I'm tired of his brain, but when his real self starts to come back, bqm is actually smart. <<less

Finished it in 4 days, and I must say I'm really satisfied.

It's a really good novel that makes fun of the stereotype Harem male lead and the naive innocent girl that has eyes set only for the Male lead. Though we will see how our protagonist tries to make the female lead give up on him ... more>>
Spoiler

and he will succeed

[collapse]

I see many people complaining about this story's romance not being prominent, but I actually find it being shown in the little (kind of) gestures our MC does for the ML and vice versa.

I reccomend it to everyone who searches for well written female characters, not stereotyped one dimensional bl romance and characters' development. <<less

I liked this novel much more than I thought I would honestly! The main characters were really interesting and there were a bunch of plot twists. Wenren E is a clueless idiot in love and Yan Hanjiang would ruin anyone who dares to touch Wenren E in the background. It was fun to read them get their sh*t together and fall in love haha. The plot did get a little uninteresting at times, but I was invested in the main couple enough to keep reading and it was satisfying to... more>> witness their relationship progress. <<less

Excellent story! I would really call this a comedy, with a good amount of gratifyingly easy to follow xianxia and super wholesome romance thrown in. This is a quick read and entirely satisfying. Great for newbies to danmei and expert readers alike. There is really no drawn out angst or dog blood. The plot moves quickly and is extremely entertaining with never a dull moment. The characters all have very distinct personalities and this novel manages to have 3 excellent female characters as well! The romance, though sadly lacking any... more>> explicit details, is incredibly cute and the two leads are stuck together being adorable for most of the novel. Both are very manly and I can see them being a switch couple. Even without the romance though, this book is so funny and entertaining it’s worth a read anyway. This is good for the heart, read this if you need to be uplifted! <<less

i just started this novel but I. LOVE. THE. ML!!!!! And not just because he and I share a name, lmao (which I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by)

Unwavering loyalty yet stubborn! Tries to be strong for his Venerable one despite being a little weak! A protector through and through! Morally gray but slay!

This is a bit random but I was hoping for a novel where the cultivator's sword can take on a human form and this is... pretty much as close as I have ever gotten. ML can... more>> literally turn into swords. And that's hot af

Another detail that I absolutely love is how it uses astrology. MC and ML being compared to Polis and Alkaid stars.. Oml. Also, in those paragraphs about how the ML acted in the OG book. His behavior gave me absolute chills, especially that part about the mask, the author KNOWS how to write their "driven mad" archetypes.

Also, it's so refreshing to see an MC that is strong, mature and a little evil. The author doesn't unnecessarily point out his looks or his body and make ML drool over him. I usually don't really like overpowered characters, but the MC has a great personality to balance it out, he doesn't kill whoever he wants. Despite being a demonic cultivator, he has a strong sense of virtue. This is a man who, despite being the most powerful demon sect leader, has travelled to the mortal world to fight as a foot soldier, then ranks up to general with his own skills and battles while willingly sealing his spiritual energy away. He is clearly more than capable of his position and he knows how to act with so much power.

That being said, the author's writing style is also fleshed out so nicely. The plot so far is great, it's not shallow and filled with silly tropes. The main characters from the OG book (let's call them Protag and FL) may be silly, but it's a sort of justified silly- although I wholeheartedly believe Protag is tr*sh, the FL isn't some one dimensional character. Sure, she's a bit hopeless, but she has a strong sense of justice and is quite capable of herself. I found myself rooting for her... And hoping she ends up with another female side character (hehe).

Additionally, there are very interesting questions raised in the novel so far, and it's hardly been 10 chapters. The reason I keep reading isn't just because of how lovable the characters are, but also the mysteries given. I want to know what MC does with the book, what happens to the FL and Protag's relationship, etc. <<less

Never thought this novel would be this complex emotional and beautiful I thought it would only be funny at most and oh boy how mistaken I was misjudging this great novel. The only regretful part was that we couldn’t really see them being that much lovey-dovey but still amazing the plot the complexity of characters everything is very well designed recommended %100

This is the best thing EVER! I MEAN EVER!

All the characters were so good and relevant that nothing was left unexplained.

This novel has a very different perspective of cultivation, and I love hearing Wenren E's thoughts and deeds. He is unlike some of the brainiest people I've read about but his actions are always on point. And Yin Hanjiang was just pure precious, its best to just read and find out just how awesome they both are.

The story in its essence was the MC leading everything to a better ending... more>> and loved how he made Baili QingMiao into a better version of herself, or better yet the person she was destined to be.

Would have loved to know a little more about what happened after everything was over, but it was very satisfying and fulfilling.

Spoiler

P.S. Right protector Shu, Qiu Conxue, Zhongli Qian, and Su Hai were gold! And it was hilarious how Shu yanyan always thinks about taking over Wenren E. Even being unsatisfied with being left behind by Wenren E and Yin Hanjiang when they leave for the immortal realm.

[collapse]

Farewell to all characters of DVAWK, all characters here have a purpose and it ties up everything nicely, you won't regret reading it.

Very very recommended. One of the best Xianxia I've read! <<less

Easily one of the best novel I have ever read. The characters are gold. Also I really loved both MLs.

The story starts with the devil venerable getting a book with a title that every abusive and toxic webnovel has lol. After reading the book ML is confused about the world and also about himself as he considers himself heartless and couldn't imagine giving his life to save someone else. The book also makes him realize the only person who will always be loyal to himself is Yin Hanjiang so he... more>> starts to focus on him and also tries to understand him.

Then he starts changing the plot entirely from emotionally ab*sed FL to a firm and strong FL. He also tries to find the reasons why all the cannon fodders behave that way to the FL and ML in the original novel because he firmly believes that love cannot make a person behave so irrationally and he was correct at this point. This is also the part I really like the most, ML didn't leave their behavior as it is considering it the halo of the plot but justified it. <<less

It is one of the well written and well translated novel.. Translation by mourningcrow is good, not sure of the other one.

It has story, if you want to read a quirky humour with a well thought out story, this works.

Each character is unique and well developed. It is a good read.

note: If you like over possessive and arrogant president MC and s*upid/naive ML and abusive love relationship with communication issue and some female as villains, then it is not for you. You will definitely find it boring. Because this story... more>> is not about 2 people and rest of the world is there only to make that 2 people fall in love with each other. This is for mature readers. <<less

This book seriously changed my perspective on cultivation novels. At some point I found myself avoiding cuktivation novels because I didn't really get why everyone was trying to acsend, or felt like the different stages of power didnt make sense to me, and most of all, it always felt like everyone had the same powers. Not to say this is true, only that it was my perspective. Now I have a whole new perspective. This book's main couple is firstly amazing, but secindly the supporting cast is all so good... more>> as well, personality and otherwise. The different pathways, as well as the difference between righteous and demonic cultivators finally made sense to me and honestly kind of just shattered my worldview for a moment. To prevent more rambling, I'm trying to say that I 100% recomend this novel to anyone who likes cultivation danmei with good plot and worldbuilding that does the "i didnt know I was in love with you" trope with flying colors <<less

If there is only one thing I regret about this novel, it's that I hadn't read it sooner. I guess the synopsis didn't hook me that much but I really am glad I ventured past that. It might not be the very best novel out there but it's definitely one of the better ones. It really felt like a breath of fresh air and the characters and plots seemed to differ from a lot of the others novels while being written/translated in an engaging and interesting way. Definitely a satisfying... more>> read, might even go on my reread list.

Mc's translation is really reeeally good.

I think another reviewer also mentioned this before but I will just repeat it. This is not a mind-blowing novel to the point you are unable to think of anything for days.

BUT it is a novel that has a damn good and solid plot with interesting characters. If you are looking for intense romance or steamy scenes then I guess you will have to be disappointed but if you are looking for a story that doesn't require you to lose braincells with likeable characters and unpredictable twists then this is... more>> for you. It's satisfying, unique, and has good storytelling.

The character developments and the thematic transitions while the protagonists find out the meaning of love, duty, honor, and respect amidst some sprinkling of lighthearted comedy kept the novel well balanced.

The world building sometimes felt a bit.. Monotonous to me for example, a character would be doing something and then the author start explaining about certain parts of the world and it feels odd. But otherwise it has a natural nice flow which keeps you hooked to know more. <<less

This is a really chaotic story in a good way, mainly because all the characters are chaotic, unique, and unpredictable in a good way. Because of the synopsis, I thought that this novel would be a comedy without a plot, but I was wrong. Nor does it have a beautiful plot, but it is well written, with a lot of plot twists and interesting characters. Sometimes, when you expect it less, it gets really funny, but sometimes it gets really sad too. What's most impressive is that this novel has... more>> many words of wisdom about life, love, friendship, the importance of being yourself, equality, etc. One moment there is a hilarious scene where side characters cause trouble yet again and you can't stop laughing, and next, unexpectedly, there is a passage about life and equality, which is really enjoyable. This novel shows that the world isn't divided into black and white. Apart from that, the author has unique views about cultivation and its impact on the world and humans. For all those various reasons, the novel is beautiful and special.

As I mentioned, the characters in this novel are really interesting; all of them are amazing, weird, and unique; you can't help but love them. MC is a demonic cultivator, but he is the most upright person I have read about in cultivation novels. I don't even know how to describe ML; he is vicious, loyal, a little bit crazy, and cute (those are MC's words, not mine, but yes, sometimes he really is cute). The side characters are hilarious, and how they interact with each other is priceless. I really regret that I didn't read this novel sooner, but the synopsis was really misleading. I'm glad to see that this novel has a high rating because it deserves it. I would recommend this novel to readers who love this genre. It is a wonderful and unique novel. <<less

I read from mourningcrow because the other site was using comic sans for the titles smh and their English was so much smoother. Also saw another review calling out ontimestory for MTLing.

As for the story itself, maybe I was expecting some kind of masterpiece based on the reviews, it didn't seem all that unique and phenomenal but it's a good book.

It's just a work that bashes the typical mary sue and stallion novels, the people who read them, and introduces other factors into those cliche non-sensical tropes so they make... more>> sense. It's refreshing and entertaining, especially after you're read too many of those bad books, but it's not without flaws. For me, what annoyed me a bit was when in the latter part of the story, the author brushes past the fourth wall and hints what we're reading is yet another version of a story about them; we just live in a different world from the characters in the book and those commenters from the two books. I've always hated that kind of thing, it's such a cheap move imo, the first time I saw it in a book, I thought it was cool, the second time, it became meh, and after that, I started hating, idkkk I guess I would've liked it if this was the first book I read that used this device.

One minor plot hole that never got resolved; how come they couldn't see each other through their eyelids too if they could see each other through walls and regardless of the distance between them?

Aside from these, I did enjoy the story, especially the part where Wenren E thought the readers from Abusive Love make more sense, making a dig at the mindset the stallion novel readers tend to have, and that pirated book part. <<less

I really like this kind of novel that's reasonable. In fact, this story progresses because MC wanted explanation for other character's unreasonable actions in the "original book" he read. Little by little, he understood things. While reading you will also think the same as him and say, "so that's why".

As for MC, I really respect him and would agree that he's indeed venerable.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC cultivates thru war calamity. I remember Protector Yin explaining Venerable's way (The Path of Slaughter) : "The path of slaughter can be a sword that slaughter's people or it can be a sword that protects the world. Kill to stop killing, stop killing with force, this is the path of Wen Renhe."

Because of his way of cultivation, Wen Renhe join many wars between humans, sealing his cultivation and disguising as a normal soldier and later on becoming a venerated general (PS, he is also a general in his mortal life). Unintentionally, he accumulated the power of faith and respect. This is the reason why he so strong and can even kill fake immortals even though his cultivation is lower.

[collapse]

PS. Came back after finishing. Ugh! Really. Worth. My. Time! And still, this is the most reasonable story I've read so far. I couldn't help but think that author-san is really a scholar. If I'm a cultivator this book will surely help me soar to the nine heaven because of the abundant enligntenment that I gained. <<less
