Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Nine harmonic zither chords shook the universe, who dared to not acknowledge the lord?
The curtains on a grand era of Rainbow Magic was raised.
He, the Zither Emperor, brought about heaven-shaking reform to the continent.
An ancient soul, pure and of strong heart, was born as the once in a generation Zither genius quietly by the ocean under clear blue skies.
This individual, a mere pure-hearted youth, gradually ascended to regency as the Zither Emperor of legends, demonstrating an unprecedented strength in musical magic and overcoming the conventional standards of society.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Indigo, and Violet; the colors of the Rainbow served as the ranking system of martial arts and magic.
Because of his profound skill, what was once a useless disregarded vocation became a legendary talent deeply intertwined with his immortal legacy. The legacy of an unparalleled genius who shone so brightly, no one could ignore his brilliance.
Even the acclaimed near-invincible dragon, in front of the Zither Emperor, cannot lift its bowed prideful head, because it was addressing a god. The pioneer of musical magic, responsible for reforming the previous Rainbow ranking system and entering the unknown level of Rainbow Magic, had become the standard measure for all martial arts and magic. Dragons were no longer the unequalled creatures of old.
A godly master of sound, a matchless spiritual mage, he raised this tr*sh vocation to become the most legendary craft on the continent. However, this was all fiction, right?

Was he only the Zither Emperor, though?

Authors seem to love setting up a strong character, then doing something ret*rded to weaken them. Such a shame. I have a hankering for music and acting stories and this started out pretty promising. In fact. The more I think about it, the more this annoys me. Usually, it's stories where things just seem to go right and everything just falls into the MC's lap. This time, it's a series of coincidences that just so happen to take everything away from the MC. I dare not read 5.2 for fear that on top of all of this, he will become a s*ave.
This is a classic TJSS novel which means 10/10 on world building. It is a fantasy world filled with dragons, elves, beastmen, and behemoths (no clear description but I imagine them like the ape titan from Attack on titans) that more closely aligns itself with western (fantasy) influences than eastern. It has a pretty interesting system set up where each person cultivates as a mage (which is divided into light, fire, dark, spatial, summon, water, and divine instruments) or as a martial artist (so far you only see assassins or some kind of warrior mounted on a dragon). The MC dual cultivates in divine instrument magic and eastern martial arts. He fuses the two into a formidable art that is reminiscent of the fight scene in Kung Fu Hustle of the blind musicians. Honestly, the MC is very different from your average CN xianxia MC (at least up to the chapter 133 where he starts to become more generic). He is naive due to essentially growing up in a bamboo forest sheltered from the world to learn the zither in a pure unadultered manner. After about 40 chapter, he begins to smarten up and dominate. Some may not like it because there won't be as much intense physical action for the first 50 chapter but rather a type more magical music battle that affects the soul. However, around chapter 60 he starts busting out moves more reminiscent of doulou dalu. Tl;dr great unpredictable plot with great world building. Don't let a 12 year old's rating fool you into thinking character building is a sh*t plot
Though the MC seems to be very naive at the start, his character eventually develops.
The setting is really good, with mythical creatures such as Giants, behemoths, fairies, dwarves, not being limited to dragons only. The romance is really touching, but slow. However, it is really one of the best. I'm not sure if it's the same in English, but in mandarin, the means of MC's expression of love is very poetic. MC's ability to play zithers is what makes this part unique.
The MC has five love interests, but each is developed well. To counter the previous review, the seemingly narcissistic roommate of the MC is actually a girl. But the MC never finds out until about half way through the story, she had to leave the MC. This is because she was ens*aved by a necromancer ever since she was 10, who was supposed to use her as a sacrifice to breakthrough.
She didn't want to love the MC because she thought she would never see him again. She was cold at the start, but as time progressed, she fell in love. But the MC never knew until she left. Luckily, this romance ended up happily. She actually dies along the way due to the necromancer, but the MC sacrifices his eyesight and taste to revive her.
And yeah, she was also the one who stole his ring with the five zithers at the very start :/
The other romances were good too. Particularly the last one, but it's really tragic
The final boss was MC's final love interest. They were never meant to be. MC had to kill her : (
Okay, 300 year old female elf fell in love with him? Kay. Ice cold beauty falls in love with him? Kay. Roommate acting like a male but still being 'jealous' when he interacts with other females? Kay. #P**sySlayer69
Also let us not forget that s*upid BS of Sura being the one who stole his ring and returning it so much later in their 'friendship'.
Helping females for no reason other than feeling for them? Okay.
