without a doubt one of the best novels on webnovel. worldbuilding is next level, very unique with depth, despite being a cultivation world. all the characters have depth. plotlines intertwine and are deep and intricate. a refreshing twist to this genre that i haven't seen before. unlike most books in this genre, it isn't predictable. very original plotline. high stakes. the mc is in a tough position, but it doesnt feel hopeless and miserable. he also isnt op to the point of breaking the novel. the author doesnt use plotarmor or write himself into a corner, neither does he force himself to nerf the character needlessly, like many authors do just to facilitate plots.
this is not only bookshelf quality, but hardback copy quality. i would buy it as a hardcopy if it was available, as i would deffinitely want to reread it multiple times in the future. books i would reread multiple times are few, and i have read thousands of books from various platforms, libraries, etc. i just wish i discovered this after more was written, as my appetite to continue reading hasn't been quenched.
