Opens with the BEST use of lye ever in a novel... Volume 1 is good (really good by webnovel standards), but it's in Volume 2 where the author's progression and story shows maturity and strong growth... it's a that point and beyond that this work shows a true publishing house quality. I believe another reviewer puts things into a really nice summation: One of the best hidden gems in this site. The story is great, the pacing is just about right, characters (mc and minor chars) are relatable, villains are amazing, world is alive and colorful, in short, highly recommend this novel to anyone whose looking for something unique to read. - In terms of characters you won't find an OP mc here who appears just to slap every villain dead and win all time. - The mc is an intelligent type who uses plans and strategies to defeat his enemies but he does not always win so you root for him to learn and win the next time. - I also like how the minor characters in this story are alive and are given their own opportunity to shine. They are not just background props like in other novels where you forgot there are other characters around the mc because the author spent a chapter concentrated on the mc. - people in the story's world have their own peculiarities and culture which helps in the world building. Oh, and there are also maps released by the author. - speaking of villains, these are not your typical cliche villains, they're actually intelligent and powerful in their own right. MC has to actually used his all manipulate and outwit his first villain.
