I'm late writing this review since it's been maybe 2 months since I finished it. I enjoyed the story overall, but towards the end it started falling flat since I just wanted to finish it. The romance is how I thought given Priest is towards it, so I wasn't expecting how MXTX writes romance. It's a good story to check out and the character writing was amazing. I don't have much thoughts on the plot as I don't remember it as well.

Priest is well known for her world-building and plot, the philosophical and thought-provoking kind regarding cultivation and ascension. What does it mean to ascend, and what is ascension if no one else has ever successfully achieved it? This novel tells the story of five misfit fledglings coming together to revitalize their sect amidst an overarching conspiracy. That alone is worth following their journey as each character grows and develops, learning from their failures and overcoming their flaws to be their best self. What is lacking tremendously in this novel is... more>> the buildup and believability of the romance between the MC and ML. They could just stay as sect brothers, and there wouldn’t be any major differences to the plot line. The romantic tension between the side couple was better than the main CP. <<less

As my third Priest novel, I really am impressed with how dynamic her characters are, and the versatility of her stories. Liu Yao isn't just a xianxia novel, but a close examination of the genre. It's a conversation about the meaning of ascension and cultivation, taking readers through the contemplative process itself rather than simply dazzling an audience with splashy scenes. Life, death, and the universe type beat.

At the same time, Liu Yao has severe flaws, which I think is why there are polarizing reviews. The plot is cohesive, weaving... more>> about three storylines together throughout the course of 100 chapters (the Fuyao sect familial bond, the conspiracy, then the grand conspiracy). But I think the problem is that several important scenes were choppy and certain events weren't fully depicted, which really undermined potential impact.

Ex:

Spoiler

1. The battle of Immortal Binding Platform had great build-up, and there was so much at stake when Yan Zhengming charged in there to save Cheng Qian. But as soon as Han Yuan came, what could've happened was the depiction of a huge battle that involved a dozen very powerful characters. Instead, what did happen was that the subsequent battle got reduced to exposition.

2. The story of Tong Ru and Han Muchun was heart-wrenching, but there's the feeling that I didn't see enough of it. If the sentiments of the 3rd extra were expanded more into the main story, a lot more tears would be falling.

[collapse]

Also, though I am very thankful of rustycol's translation, it wasn't nearly as accurate nor articulate as Chichi's. The sentiments lost in translation made certain scenes a few degrees harder to understand.

In regards to the romance, I really liked the relationship between CQ & YZM. The idea of a peac*ck male lead was so refreshing, and their constant bickering was sweet to read. So many heartwarming scenes that I had to go back and reread a few times.

So tldr, despite all my complaints of Liu Yao, I won't forget its vivid cast of characters, nor its fantastical world-building, any time soon. <<less

After 12 years, this is the first novel that has managed to grab my attention enough to make me finish it. The story was amazing, the characters and their development were masterfully written. The romance felt natural, and what I loved about it, is that it's not the main focus of the novel, but rather a strong motivation for the main characters to keep fighting. Its main focus is actually the struggle of the five martial siblings to find each other, defeat their enemies, and return to their sect so... more>> they can live a peaceful, carefree life like the one their master tried to give them until disaster struck them.. About the villains, that

felt like kaguya in naruto lol, but the rest were great, especially the big bad and his story, I really thought he was just an aloof guy with no ambition haha. Everyone says the last part was rushed or complicated, but I think it was fine. This is definitely a story that will stick with me for a long time. <<less

An amazing story that follows 5 disciples on their cultivation journey. Every character is great and likeable in his/her own way. It has a lot of action, but also slice of life, an interesting storyline and very sweet romance. 5/5 can recommend!

This story deserves 5-star. From the plot, the settings, the depicting of actions, to the uniqueness of the characters the translators did a very great job as well as the author!.. If this story is rubbish for you... Rubbish your sister!

The story about cultivation centers the life of the kids from different background had come to train to find their Dao but in the end, found something better. Their relationship did not start as smooth, as what others say, the bonds comes strong when surviving a great challenge.

It was plainly a barbeque stick. It was beautiful and painful.

=[Fluff-pain-fluff-pain-fluff]=

It showed helplessness, that certain circumstances pushed them to strive and grow stronger in order not to be stepped on by outsiders. Their young hearts were orphaned too soon of their newfound family... more>> and was forced to grow up to protect what remained. It was not victories without sacrifices, they lost but they found courage to go forward-- together. Yet even when apart, they have the same thought in their hearts: Fuyao! The very symbol of their childhood and of their future.

"In all likelihood, if one could die without regrets, that could be seen as ascending, couldn't it?" <<less

This story is incredible and confusing, let me explain, the characters are unique in their own ways, the story is fun, interesting and heartwarming. I absolutely adore all the characters in this novel, the story is well written and overall enjoyable to read. I love how their world isn't small and is rich with myths, different/cool sects and items XD But it's so confusing because so much is happening at such a short amount of time and my poor brain cells can't keep track on what's going on or who... more>> is who sometimes. I'm here to read it all over again and even take notes to keep track of things if necessary. <<less

This is one of the best danmei I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I don't want to give away too much about the characters or plot, because I think going in fresh here is the best choice. But please, give this a try!!!

This absolutely tops my favorite web novel list when it comes to these genres such as slice of life and comedy. I love how the author draws depth from all the characters and its interesting to see their group dynamics when they interact with each other or with other people. A very enjoyable read.

For my cons ... more>>
Spoiler

it would be the whole cultivation action sequence near the end is a bit confusing. The author switched up the pace for the power struggle and I have no problems with it but I do miss their slow daily lives from the first half of the novel.

Spoiler

At first the characters were like cute little kittens snuggling next to each other for warmth, and in the end, they became mighty tigers able to protect their home

I will miss all the characters a lot! <<less

Dayum, this was good! The pacing was fantastic. It never got close to being draggy or too fast! The characters pftt. Amazing, hands down. I loved our five main characters and the two masters! Their character development was wonderful to watch. And the plot! I was invested the whole way! The ending events got a bit overt and too big but all the plot twists whoa. A big factor was the truly good writing compared to most other light novels I've read, and the translations were so good! All... more>> the sudden feels were so natural I didn't noticed I was crying until I was crying loool It got so long and many things have happened that now, a year or so later, I don't really remember anything hahaha But I did remember that the characters felt so real and I loved them all so when all the bad things happen, ahhh my heart hurts haha

Such excellent work. Even with different translator works, all bring the best to express author beautiful work! I have read Golden stage, it’s also an excellent book, but it does have alot of aghast and lots of dog blood drama and winding politics. And the steampunk mixed world building used lots of my brain juice. Lol. So was hesitant to read Fuyao. But luckily I did. This piece is just excellent! So funny and yet thought provoking. Maybe there’s alot humorous scenes there that sometimes the sad moments feel not... more>> so bad. This story really nostalgic to me. Love the plots and excellent description and poetic thoughts that author wrote and great interpretations from the translators. Only Priest work can really read the sentence one by one and can’t help wanting more. Thank you <<less

Really liked the characters and how they grew up. Very complex magic and action scenes, however, which were at times hard to follow. This could be due to my lack of knowledge of Chinese mythology and culture and maybe the translation, too.
