First review. Apologize if it's not up to par lol. But in love with this story. I caught up on WeTried TL. Translation stopped at chapter 40, I want more haha. I don't know if anyone else is releasing more chapters. But the MC is goated. I like it, I caught up, and waiting for more. MC is an actual example of what a main character should be. The side characters are not just there, they have depth. They have stories to themselves, and it's nice to know about! I... more>> cannot wait to see where his journey ends, it's sad to be reminded of his limited life span. Hopefully he makes the best of it, or maybe a miracle might happen. Also love how he's not string along with let's say a higher power, he has his own thoughts and doesn't immediately trust someone with his whole being simply because they're nice or did something for him! <<less

Has the mystical quality of the kind of strength gain I like, full of self reflection. Understanding the world, and gaining strength through that. It's a good story.

It's worth noting that this isn't a "pure" wuxia story. Although not initially prominent, there are aspects mentioned like elves, dwarves, and spirit beasts. I believe the author intends to use such fantasy elements to raise the power ceiling of the genre later on.
