I'm such a fan of this series. The first part had me guessing the whole time, and I was still wrong. Just the right amount of noir detective mixed with sci fi and some cool supernatural aspects. I can't wait for the next adventure!

A really interesting romance novel! Has film noir vibes and feels like a modern gothic story. This would be enjoyable for people who like books like twilight.

Hello, I don't really feel like I should put 5 stars in all these ratings, but it felt weirder to put less. I'm not a self-punishment kind of guy. Anyway, listen, I wrote this book because I love Transmigration books and Detective novels. When I read this book to myself to do spell checks and look over the grammar, I use a scumbag Noir Detective voice. Sometimes in my head, but mostly out loud. It makes it much more fun, and I wanted to highly recommend that to anyone that reads this. Thank you for reading!

I have read up to 441 and the story quickly takes a nose dive. the genders of characters are constantly being changed, names of prominent characters get botched. But the worse of it all, the story just plummets. I like how the story unfolded up to these last 100 chaps I've read. The novel being modern society with cultivation was fantastic. Li Jing being a patroller was my favorite part of the story because it felt very detective noir. Now though he won't be able to stay in the blue star world and has to ascend to what is described as a lawless lower divine realm. That is not modern. The blue star realm was hardly explored. Various factions could have had very interesting story arcs. Now at best we will get a rushed story where he quickly goes around solves world problems in a rushed couple chapter adventure. extremely disappointed with how the novel has transpired.
