Mao Ni
ztj was trash, so i really have no idea should i even start this novel ? i am a fun of slow paced novels, novels about cultivation... (not about suffering) but not about 15 y.o. ***** who is thinking about herself as a phoenyx, and interactions for no reason and logic... and yes, i read it to the end. (ending was especially great ;))) ) is this another novel with mc who has no backbone ? someone in comments said that those who didn`t like ZTJ are stupid, and don`t like slow pace. but i have to disagree. if you are an ***** person, you will find it absurd to read about mc of ZTJ his logic, and actions.
to short because currently there only two chapter and the first one being a very good and a master piece chapter i've ever seen (its a joke ;go check the first chapter by yourself) and the second chapter just literally freefalling out of nowhere . I just hope the author synopsis explain something a little bit like is it a xuanhuan in space or something , no just anything we need to know what is going on in there is there a feud or a coup d'etat wait .......its a xuanhuan hmmmmmm... yeah just a guy cultivating again and became the strongest in the world then another world cliche isn't it? please explain for those who already read the raw or investigate from a chinese reader (it can be from the chinese reader comments of course) also if there is any good xuanhuan out there some one can recommend because I once always read xuanhuan (until one day fire nation attack ,,,jk) but quickly bored of how repetitive the novel is so if there is a good one with a better mc that actually smart and good world background that doesnt just create an opponent from some dirt just because they need to stall the mc for the next arc . just say they going to the beach or something until they come back home to continued the next arc ( its hurt my head to see the old weak enemy became stronger because a treasure or some weaken demon gave them power and they just suddenly can kill his whole family/clan its stupid
I have read 2 of mao ni books and now i read the path toward heaven. So far, I like jing jiu...i like all the mystery surrounding our characthers...and i really like how the story reveal itself... it kind of fun read with all the lazyness of our main charachter and how it became his trademark that almost make people around him feel hapeless. But (sometimes) his lazyness has deeper meanings than being lazy and iy become cool ^^d
After Nightfall, this is another novel of Mao Ni that I’ve been reading. So far so good, I’ve found that I might like this more than Nightfall. Although Ning Que from Nightfall is one of my beloved heroes’s character, Jing Jiu, the laziest from The Path toward Heaven will win my heart. If you like Nightfall, don’t miss this one.
Just what you'd expect from a Mao Ni novel. Engaging plot, interesting characters, and beautiful narration. Out of Mao Ni's novels, I'd put this above Way of Choices and Joy of Life, while it's a tie with Nightfall (I haven't read The Outcast). The translation is a bit ****e though, with a lot of inconsistencies in the initial chapters, at least when I was reading the chapters. Rather than reviewing, I will address some of the criticisms raised by the others. 1. The MC is too lazy Not quite. This is a reincarnation story. Now, imagine you've completed an RPG, and then started another playthrough with a very similar character. Obviously, you would do a lot of side quests, and even on the main quests, you wouldn't pay attention to the dialogue (unless there's choice for multiple endings of course). You wouldn't scramble around for weapons and armor like you did on the first playthrough, coz you know better. And most of your boss fights end in very few moves because you're familiar with the mechanics. Well, that's exactly what the MC is like: too bored with side quests, too strong for low level boss fights, and smart enough to avoid the higher level bosses at lower levels. 2. The narration is too slow. Duh! It's a Mao Ni novel. 3. The plot is confusing. Perhaps. However, you don't have to know everything to connect to the story. The enshrouding mystery actually adds to the plot. 4. The MC has little screen time. This, I think, is probably the best thing about this novel. You see, there are at least a dozen characters in the novel that could just as well be the MC if the author decides to swap MCs. Ignore the actual MC, and read the story to be of several potential MCs and you'd have a much better time enjoying the novel.
A must read novel for those who are mature thinking. No childish plots and conversations have good sense as the target audience for the novel I suppose are matured individuals. Its packed with suspense that wanna make you drive a hammer to the author to make the next chapter right away to satisfy your curiousity.
Around 50-60 chapters in, and i have no clue where this is going. No clear direction for where the novel is going. ........................................................................................ ........................................................................................ ........................................................................................
