I have no clue why this story receives so much praise. Besides an interesting premise it has nothing that I would find appealing. The world is your everyday copy of xianxia template (incompetent and greedy goverment, MC is strong and unique but hiding it, 2 warring factions, souls weapons, rigid power levels) with regular game interface stuck to it. Characters are one dimensional. It seems as if author before writing the story said “I want MC proud, cool headed and mysterious” and stuck to it like a mantra. That “template” is the whole character. Everything MC does is just for progression of the story, his newfound ability doesn’t put things into perspective for him, doesn’t affect his thinking or his ideas. “I need to suck blood and I am a Vampire” doesn’t make him stop and think a bit whether or not it entails something, whether or not he is ready to be viewed as a monster if people find out, he just rolls with it (besides the initial hesitation). The plot doesn’t seem special either. If it weren’t for the fact that the story is fast paced and chapters are so small with minimal exposion it would have been glaringly obvious.
