I recently reread this and even reading it a second time I enjoyed it just as much. Even thought the MC is typically strong, handsome... more>> and capable as per every other novel, I really enjoyed that to a large degree he was just a normal person - having ulcers and forgetting to clean the house. It's just refreshing to see. I also really enjoyed thew world-building (I feel like I say this for every novel, it's just so fascinating!) and all the side characters were a delight. <<less

SO GOOD. Admittedly some people might find Yan Wushi insufferable but I really enjoyed his character and the dynamic he and Shen Qiao have. I... more>> was very skeptical at first and didn't have high expectations but oh boy, the author definitely got me in a chokehold. The world building was awesome and there wasn't ever a part of the plot that I found boring or unnecessary. It's a slow burn till the very end but the gods know this is exactly what I crave. <<less

Wow, just wow. This novel's world building is amazing. And specifically the way politic matters are connected and explained. Making for such a complex setting.... more>> The MC and ML have a very unique relationship, that starts closer to a "father and son" and then progresses into more. This might be a bit unnerving but after the MC grows up it seems more natural. Trully a great read. <<less

MXTX could write about paint drying and I'd still read it.... I just love Xie Lian so much. I laughed, I cried, I still think... more>> about this story on a daily basis (in a totally normal way). Very nice dynamic between the characters. The plot is nicely paced and the plot twists are abundant. Just do yourself a favor and read it immediately. <<less

I love it so much. Very funny and lighthearted story with likable characters. I love that the gaming aspect is well written without sounding like... more>> a bad wattpad story <<less

Basically It's a mu*der mystery with xianxia setting and we learn more and more of the character's past and relationships as the main plot progresses, similarly to TGCF. Which is exactly my favorite type of storytelling.... more>>

Every once in a while yt recommends me a random MDZS amv, and every time, I'm in tears. Maybe I just cry a lot, but the story is so heartbreaking at times. And I love that ;w; <<less

Good story, good characters and relationship dynamics and great humor. A lighthearted read compared to the author's newer works, truly not her best novel, but... more>> has it's own charm.  <<less

This is such a breath of fresh air. The MC and ML have a loving relationship, mutual feelings, so there isn't a chase and drama... more>> like it otfen happens. The characters are well destinguished from one another and the world building is good. The story of a power couple trying to fix the country. <<less

Priest never disapoints. Great power couple, pleasant supporting characters, cool story

Funny and lighthearted, slow burn. Doting ML, all the best stuff

To be honest this novel is not very good. The only distinguishable character is probably the ML and even his personality is more like an embodiment of a trope. The universe is weirdly structured and sometimes you have to wonder how do people survive with no skills in cultivation. The main characters are both overpowered in their respective areas and the protagonist halo surely shines upon them. Their relationship is also not balanced, the MC being always under (both literally and figuratively). For a 600+ chapter novel I truly wonder what is there so much to say about such a story.... more>>

However, it makes me laugh at times and the op-ness of the ML is amusing. The story also takes interesting turns and there is a certain mystery about the ML's power and origin. It's my guilty pleasure read. Lighthearted and fun if you ignore it's shortcomings.  <<less
