The Founder of Diabolism

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

As the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, Wei Wuxian roamed the world, hated by millions for committing acts of necromancy. Overthrown by the powerful clans he had attempted to subjugate, Wei Wuxian is supposedly killed by his shidi in order to save the cultivation world.

Restored to life in the body of Mo Xuanyu, the local cut-sleeve lunatic, in order to exact revenge on his abusive relatives, Wei Wuxian quickly finds himself spiralling back into his old life when he’s taken away by the cold-hearted, stern, and ultimately quite boring Lan Wangji – who might be harbouring warmer feelings than contempt. Perhaps of the…romantic kind?

But despite his new beginning, Wei Wuxian begins to unravel a decade and a half long mystery that is set to undo the very fabric of the cultivation world as they know it.

A mysterious, action-packed thriller of a ride, this is a journey you won’t want to miss!

OH HOW I F*ING LOVE ❤ THIS NOVEL!!

The characters were friggin' awesome. ? The MC stole the show: shameless, loveable, and imperfect. The ML was warm even though he seemed cold. The other characters made the story just as wonderful. Even the mutha f*ing villains ? ... more>>
Spoiler

I was so hoping to finish watching Xue Yang die until his soul no longer existed.

[collapse]

The Plot... OH the plot! ? Twists and turns galore with a touch of horror, a touch of tragedy?, a touch of drama, and a dose of romance... ? So yummy ?

The backstory... is good though I prefer my stories to be linear. The back and forth the author does with the present and the flashbacks slightly irritates me (-1 ⭐). However it was all relevant and very well done. ? HOWEVER, if you like your stories in the same timeline and in order, you might be slightly disappointed with this one.

THE SMUT!! ? Even though it came at the end it was juicy!

Their budding romance! ? It was so good... I liked watching them develop.

There is a warning for those sensitive to r*pe and gore. ?‍♂️ First the gore, it gets pretty graphic at times with the undead, but that doesn't bother me. And the r*pe which didn't bother me either because
Spoiler

It was a dream. And didn't really happen.

[collapse]

Or maybe it didn't bother me because I'm twisted ?

In summary... ENCORE!!! ?? I WANT MORE FROM THIS D*MN AUTHOR!!! <<less

The novel has three-dimensional characters, not always completely antagonizing character and showing things from the villain's POV. The protagonist in this novel isn't annoyingly dense and is rather clever (and shameless). The romance is a slow-burn and makes perfect sense. I mean, come on, ML waits 13 years for MC and NO r*pe once so ever? Hell yea. Even if this novel were to exclude the MxM elements, it would stand perfectly fine on its own.

MXTX's novels are always showing more than one side of every character, keeping the plot... more>> entertaining and having the unexpected (but reasonable) plot twist that will keep you on pins and needles. You might like her other novels if you find this one enjoyable.

The main objective of this danmei always has you wanting more. There are definitely many plot twists to go around. I recommend it. 5/5 <<less

This was the novel that started it all for me (BL, Chinese, Xianxia, etc.) and I was fortunate to have come across it. It is a beautiful piece of writing, and the characters have stayed with me for quite a while. I don't think of it as a BL novel; it is an epic that truly crosses numerous genres. I also enjoyed the donghua and the TV series The Untamed, although the novel is the gold standard. My favorite, hands down; I hope others enjoy it as much as I... more>> do! <<less

The chemistry between the main character and the sekcnd lead is super good. He miantians his character and stands for his words through out the entire story, something consistent and simple yet very hard to capture from other books! The plot.... Don't even get me started on the plot. Wishing I could read mandarin so I can engulf myself in the book with the original writer and story, but the translation was so beautifully and kindly done it made the story my all time favorite. Worth reading! Best reading!!

I've read a LOT of yaoi in my life, is it manga/manhua/manhwa or novels, and I've got to say Mo dao Zu shi has got to be one of my absolutely favorites. Even though I don't like the author's other works, I think this book was made beautifully. It has action, angst, humor and some very well written romance! (Extremely important).... more>>
Spoiler

Although, we could have gone with less drunken Lan zhan moments

[collapse]

The uke is not the extremely possessive/ r*pey male lead, but a cold faced sweetheart that gets his heart hurt from our naive (when it comes to their relationship) protagonist. Their dynamic is excellent and we vividly see the character development as the novel progresses.

Most of the main characters have the necessary depth to make the reader actually invest emotionally into the story.

All in all, definitely one of my favorites, I recommend this for everyone, even people who don't like BL! <<less

The best danmei I've read. The story is very interesting with very well developed characters and situations. If you like cultivation novels and a well built plot with many twists and turns then you just have to read this one, it's an absolute jewel and the translation is excellent!

One of the best novel I've ever read, bl or not.

I just love how many different parts of the story are placed nicely within the main plot without abruptly spoiled things all over.

I read GDC twice, coz reading things this long and this complex could be a b*tch, but after the second time, the complication of the story started to resolve on its own. And it feels frustrating but also f*cking satisfying when that happen.

Even now, I wouldn't have hesitate to start reading for the third or fourth or even... more>> nth times coz I believe this novel will get to me EVERY f*ckING TIME.

I proudly give the best rate I could give, if I could give more, I would. <<less

One word : interesting

If you're bored of the same old plot and cliches, this is the one for you

With the right dose of action in historical setting, lots of comedy and hints of romance that makes it not too heavy to read

I really appreciated that the main character of the novel had a very distinctive and unique personality compared to the submissive protagonist that I found a lot of bl novels had.

I also thought that the novel did a wonderful job at world-building and had me invested in the plot from the very beginning.

I think that my favorite thing about this novel though had to be its "themes" for a lack of a better word. I think that a lot of bl novels tend to deal with fluff and overdramatic misunderstanding... more>> and whatnot (I like those too sometimes though) but this novel really subtly touched upon issues of mob mentality and the cost of defending one's sense of righteousness by being turned into an outcast. I think this message is best embodied in the parallels between the villain and the protagonist of the story (especially since the protagonist points it out so much near the end of the story)

Overall, a solid story definitely worth the read, and I will definitely feel a sense of loss as the novel comes to an end. :D <<less

MXTX is really good at humorous writing; it makes her descriptions & expositions fun to read, and there's a lot of genuinely funny dialogue between characters.

There's a lot of politics and worldbuilding that goes way beyond the main romance, and so much attention to detail on how characters relate to each other beyond romance. The romance itself is agonizingly slowburn but it a super satisfying way... it's really great how oblivious the main character is and how obvious it is to Literally Everyone Else. I was honestly invested in like...... more>> every dimension of this novel. A Good Reading Experience. <<less

Not even kidding this might be one of the best books I've ever read.

The characters are complex and their relationships deep and intriguing, the world building is incredible and smoothly integrated into the story, and the plot is fresh and gripping.

Everything seems so carefully thought out- the characters' pasts, their motives- and everything helps drive the plot forward and make it seem so much more real.

And don't even get me started about the relationship between the MC and ML. Even before they get together you can feel they're drawn to... more>> each other and how devoted they are even though *coughweiwuxiancough* most of the time they aren't even aware of it. The build up is so good and strong that it basically feels like they're married by the 50th or so chapter. *sighs* Five stars doesn't even begin to describe how good it is... 100/10 I definitely recommend <<less

This book is a masterpiece.

ML has taken the top place in my heart.

*Mr. Gu, I am sorry for the betrayal but Lan Zhan is bae!!!

... more>> Besides the bl theme. The mystery, horror and action them is reallly well written and so driving. Every sides characters are deeply thought and complex.

The flashbacks solidified the plot and give you a great parallel timeline story. I praised the author for sticking to his first ideas GMDC wouldn't have been such a wonderful piece without them.

I can't wait to finish the manga and donghua version of this novel.

I am pretty much obsessed with everything related to this story.

I really recommend, translation is amazing. They did such a great.

Let's support the author by buying the original on jjwxc. <<less

a whole fcking LOT OF regrets and misunderstandings and let's not forget LOTS AND LOTS OF SCHEMING

[collapse]

What more could you ask for?

Great plot. Characters are very well written and thought of. Everyone has a backstory that you'd latch on and love. Makes you see how complicated humans really are and how one's actions, even those done for the good of others, can become your downfall or hurt others.

I just can't hate anyone of these characters. They all have their reasons... well except for CAUTION DONT OPEN???

I actually cried so much. Not only for the plots/story (of each arc) but also for the characters (backstory, experiences and sufferings).

All in all, I LOVED THIS.

Spoiler

MXY deserves a 2nd shot in life. I cried for him most. Yeah, I'm considering this as a spoiler. To understand how much he suffered, the reader should've already been done with guanyin temple. Understand how he loved the wrong person (that it drove him to madness), how he trusted the wrong person (that eventually drove him to his untimely death - though I can't also blame that person, he did have some logic in doing so... and after he did what he did, everything did turn out great and everyone kinda has a happy ending... But! MXY became a sacrificial lamb and it still upsets me???).

[collapse]

Spoiler

ps: the sexy times are towards the end of the whole story.. 90-ish and the smut is at 110+ish. So if you want to read a fast development and getting it on then you'd have to WAIT. The smut is certifed smutty? worth the wait.

I just finished this novel. His subject was very deep and complex. But I think it's a bad thing. I thought I'd be bored at first, but it didn't. The final sections were absolutely heart-distorting.

I've searched for live action. I heard the line is coming soon. I'm so happy now. I'll never forget the Lan wangji character.

Definitely my cup of tea. I don't have any review, though, I only want to tell you that this novel is amazing. The MC is the type of hiding pain behind a smile, I really pity him. Misunderstood by everyone around him, but he clearly a good person even if he fell into the devil path. The ML, I don't have many words about him, because I love him like I love the MC. But, he's a devoted type of love interest, patiently waiting for the MC. This type of... more>> relationship, make my heart ache for the pain and obstacles in their path of love life. It's a xianxia genres novel, and the build of the world is quite good, the characters too. I even searched for the animation as soon as it's aired, and waiting everyday to see the next episodes. It's not too long, I sorta relieved about it but I kind of wanted it more too.

I really love this kind of novel, though now the bl novel mostly dominate by transmigrating and system type. It's so hard now to find this type, a good one on top of that. And, I'm ready for the second season of the animation, and finish the novel. <<less

Beautiful, amazing, wonderful, spectacular, what ever positive adjective you wish add onto this list.

This is one of the best novels I’ve ever read, in my entire life. The characters feel so real, relatable and well developed. It really stabbed my heart in certain parts, which made the experience all the more memorable. I proudly admit, that I have cried 9 times while reading this so far, and has had a hard time sleeping at night.

The plot is very interesting, at first, if you’re new to this cultivation aspect, it can... more>> get pretty confusing, and it being a book, you don’t know the characters’ appearance and you might find yourself thinking ‘who was this person again??’ But once you’ve got the hang of things, it is very enjoyable to read. The world building is really good, and allows you to see the world the characters live in rather vividly.

The characters are so easy to get attached to, and I’ve always loved their personalities. I just love them, so much :’)

I really enjoy the slow romance and how the characters develop their relationship overtime, going through struggles, fighting, being friends, depending on each other. It really makes my heart wrench every time something happens.

This story makes my family members’ eardrums cry every time the translation updates.

I have already re-read this book 4 times, to soothe the desperate need for Mo Dao Zu Shi. I have cried every single time.

I can’t help but search up spoilers, and slap myself for doing so.

I absolutely recommend this book. (Unless you’re looking for just straight up, hardcore smut). <<less

Lots of intricate plots and stories about side characters. A little too long and convoluted and the fan service scenes are unnatural to the story. However the interactions between the two lead males are hilarious!

I heard of this novel quite a while ago, and I kept putting it back. I just started reading this, and I can only say that it lives up to all of its hype. It is amazing. I love Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan's relationship, they are so cute and funny.
