Did you read Talisman Emperor? I did. It was mediocre but I finished it. This one is worse than TE. In TE the MC was mostly an emotionless cold fish, except for a few occasions where his family or sect brothers and sisters are involved.

The MC in this novel is even worse, he's a "Fallen Immortal" and shown even less emotions since he basically has no attachment. I kept waiting for his family revenge arc, since that's probably where he's going to show his human side, but the author is too busy throwing slapable young masters and mistress at the MC instead of moving the plot forward. Oh, the young masters... so many young masters.

There are so many stories to tell but the author is more interested in word count. Also the MC's sycophants are giving me second hand embarrassment. Too much d*ck stroking.

It would have been interesting if the MC actually gained his humanity back and became a real person again, you know learning how to joke around, laugh, cry, feeling greed and jealousy and so on. Great opportunity for character development. But no, he still act the same when he was a big shot and the only emotion he gained apparently is righteous indignation.

That makes the MC doesn't feel like a living breathing human. Immortality is not a personality! Shii even the gods and demons in Chinese myths still retain their personalities, so why did these modern Xianxia and Xuanhuan authors think that immortality = no emotions, cold and aloof?

I'm not trying to be overly negative, here. This might become amazing later on, after the plot is moving forward. But it takes too long and I'm not waiting. On hold for a while, might read again later.

PS: I noticed that many fellow readers often refer the MC as murder hobo and his murderous hobo adventure, which is actually quite accurate. It's curious how an 108.000 year old man apparently only know how to solve problems using violence and massacre. The author actually tried to reason this by... you've guessed it, "dao heart" or some shit.
