I really enjoyed this until I read the racist part. I'm black and I found it stereotypical and rude. Pls don't try to use "culture" as an excuse. You should go back and edit the racist part out.

It really disappoints me with the amount of people that call this story racist. It really is a culture difference that many people can’t understand. In many asian countries such as China pale skin represents beauty. It’s not that they’re trying to be racist but because of their history. In ancient China dark skin girls were the commoners who worked in the fields while light skin represents the elites who had the privilege to just stay at home and learn many different skills that are expected of a wife. So naturally these pale skin girls are more graceful because of the environment they grew up in. As time went on white pale skin is just seen as beauty. From my personal experience, I used to live in California, there I just wanted to be tan. Cuz everyone just sees tan skin as beautiful. I would often get questions like why or how are u so pale. I didn’t really care much but at the same time I always wanted to be more tan. However, when I moved to New York there were more asian immigrants around me where in their country pale white skin is seen as beauty. At that time I really started seeing the big culture difference. In some parts of the world people would go out to tan and in other parts no matter how hot it is they will cover themselves because they want to be pale. This story really is not racist from my perspective. If anyone hasn’t noticed almost all the female leads in Webnovel are described to have white, pale skin. This is not them trying to be racist or diss dark skin people but because in their culture pale, white skin is beautiful. I recommend that people have an open mind while reading these stories and not to take every word written in the story to heart. Sometimes there are just many phrases from China that are almost impossible to describe in English so the actual meaning is changed too. This really is a great novel so I hope many of u can see past the culture difference and enjoy the novel as it is.

Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.
