-BEST HISTORICAL DANMEI-

Wuxia, xianhuan, xianxia has some of the best danmei. While it may be hard to grasp at first if you’re not familiar with the setting, I highly recommend you try it out! (This was me when i read victorian steampunk for the first time)

I’ve tried to include everything: Healthy, power couple; character development; intriguing plots.

Would appreciate recs as well!

4.5/5~ rather than a breath-taking, soul crushing novel, I’d say it’s a very refreshing read.Right, there are so many overused common tropes in the Danmei... more>> industry.. And the author pretty much asked anyone who couldn’t accept something new and fresh to get out. Respectfully. I for one dislike these cliche tropes so I avoid reading novels that have em so the ‘refreshing’ factor wasn’t too refreshing for me.. But it’s sure to be a breathe of fresh air.Characters:Song Qingshi: Our MC, my cutie little thing. I’ll have to admit, the interactions and development of qingshi and wuhuan is a bit cliche, with qingshi being a little smart, just over average with negative EQ and Wuhuan being a genius topping it off with emotional intelligence. However, what makes Qingshi so special is his diligence and effort, he’s such a sweetheart.Yue Wuhuan: I absolutely love his inner monologues, they were so well done, his hatred, his greed, his disgust- everything spun together in a centrifuge to give us a Yue Wuhuan.. He’s so lovely.An Long: Personally, I feel like the character of An long was much more richer than Wuhuan’s, or perhaps it’s that angst craving heart of mine.. Either way he was so loud and interesting, I really wished we had more of him.Plot:This is where you lose me, contrary to the other commenters, I actually preferred the first half of the book a lot more. I’m sure many here have read KOD and you must be aware of the side stories, I personally found them okay, and similarly I find MISVIL okay too, I felt like we should’ve stopped at a certain point because after we reach a certain threshold, the flavor of what you’ve eaten previously is lost. For that reason I’ll confidently say, this isn’t really a story about healing or finding yourself, it’s actually more of ‘breaking cliches’ itself. But I won’t reduce the rating because for that purpose.. It really does fulfill.Romance:Like I said above, it’s very fate-focused, I personally think it could’ve been executed a lot better. I believe the scenes with An Long and Qingshi were much more heart-wrenching. Wuhuan is heart-wrenching, but their interactions were pretty.. Okay, I feel like we needed a lot more time with them, a lot more confusion and a lot more doubt, fundamentally, I find that connection to be quite thin between them. It’s easy to say I’ll wait 800 years for you, but only you and I know how much Hua cheng and Xie lian went through. If I were to describe it.. It feels like I was promised a sweet candy but I accidentally swallowed it whole. Don’t get me wrong, using the concept of ‘fate’, it does make sense.. But in my opinion following the kind of flavor of romance this offers, stories like ‘After marrying the evil God’ are much much better despite following a similar idea.To conclude.. I think it’s a good, well-written story overall but I feel the emotional and self development was lacking in the end, (I mean, have you read evil as humans??!) Most of my tears were shed for An Long 233.. <<less

Sorry to say this but you obviously didn't understand what you were reading based off your reviews. They may not be the best but the points you brought up were definitely not that problem. Maybe you should go back and reread them. Or not, Whatever. But I extremely disagree with your reviews on some of these novels.

  Hm? Well there’s a lot of points, yes, but it’s opinionated. You can share yours too, I’ll consider them in my reviews~
