For those who have read and finished "The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe", this novel would be a welcome addition to a same setting of that genre. This novel takes place during the age of deities and demons in mythological China. The same setting and background that many Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels use and/or borrow from. Many of the characters that are from the Investiture of the Gods will appear so this would be a difficult read for this who don't know the mythical Chinese era's story as the novel would refer to that a lot. There are a lot of Chinese poem that the author self invented in there too which would sound better in Chinese than English but don't let that stop you. And just as state in the title, the MC is not those hot head protagonist that believes friendship or brotherhood would solve everything, he is calm but not cold and he is not those extreme character that would murder the whole clan because someone looked at him funny. There are faceslapping moments for those readers who enjoy them. All in all, I hope that this novel can be picked and continue the translation so to better tell the Chinese myth to the English audience.
