I Eat Tomatoes is like a freaking machine. Out of all the chinese authors he is undeniably the most stable. I've liked every one of his novels without exception. Super hyped for this. Also, I would like to request the translator GGP to please write the basic and frequently used terms in meaningful English and not pinyin. Terms like zhen yuan, dou, wang etc are extremely difficult for readers like us who are completely oblivious regarding knowledge of chinese to understand. Anyhow, best of luck :)

LIKEMC becoming OP is the final destination of all xianxia novels. The betrayal then second lover only happened happened once. The family destroying things may have happened a couple times, but then you could find a couple of those if you take a handful of random xianxia novels. If you think about it, all xianxia novels have some similiarities. Its a part of the genre. You can't really blame IET for that.
Betrayal and second lover happened at least in 2 novels. Coiling Dragon and Desolate Era had this. Not sure about other stories. But Novelupdates comments showed a similar picture. So I didn't read more. But there are other similarities likes pets playing a huge role. Too. Anyway betrayal part is the major reason I don't like these novels. The MC acts like a teenager high on dopamine when it comes to his first love. He never tries to see the bigger picture and blindly trusts her ending up getting kicked on his head by reality. XD
To be fair, all wuxia heroes are narcissistic psychopaths. Hmph, this guy that has no relationship with me does not treat me as his biggest oldest friend, **** him! Hmph, why do you aspect me to treat you well if we don't know each other, **** you! And please don't let me start on the whole: I will kill everyone who offends me and when their loved ones want revenge they're very bad. Except when I do it, I'm a hero. Jesus christ the autism.
