I quite liked the first 40 chapters. After some research, I managed to read up to chapter 72, and it is still interesting...BUT... it looks like the author likes to start books and not finish them? The book does not seem to exist on qidan anymore... so I hope there are more than 72 chapters (or more than 97/98, which is the latest reference I could find)...🤔

the story started or interesting, but quickly developed into a mess. the author uses lots of filler to get to his word count, then adds new important story information, forgets what he wrote 50-100 chapters before, and thus contradicts himself. characters are introduced, forgotten, and sometimes reintroduced with the author just saying they were there the whole time. the whole forging aspect is thrown out of the window around chapter 400 (it might be reintroduced, but I have not read that far). I don't mind the china-is-superior writing style, that a lot of the Chinese authors have, but this author is quite extreme with it, while not being able to put it in a nice package (writing wise). I've read up to chapter 444 so far, and the story went from "sounds interesting" to "this is stupid, why am I still reading this". I hope it gets better again, but I doubt it, looking at the authors ability so far

they are gender fluid 🙄😂

machine translation 😅

DROPPED! DON'T WASTE YOUR COINS! promising start, interesting concept, good ruthless main character. I enjoyed reading it up to chapter 147... which seems to be the last chapter, before the author dropped it.
