Description

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

A young orphaned boy named Mu Yi is saved by an old travelling Taoist Priest. They travel the world ‘scamming’ people by ‘exorcising ghosts’ and ‘slaying demons’, that is until the old Taoist Priest dies and Mu Yi is forced to realise that all is not as it seems. He was told stories of armies of ghosts, hordes of zombies, horrifying demons, and worst of all, the cultivators who controlled them.

Mu Yi takes his first steps towards rising to the top of this dark and cruel new world.

The beginning of this novel is surprisingly good. I have to give it an upvote. I love the premise of the story too. Can't wait to see how the novel develops.

To the translator, thank you for translating this Novel.

I discovered the novel because I read PMG (Peerless Martial God) on http://totallyinsanetranlation. Com/ and now https://totallytranslations. Com/ and they translate Heavenly Curse.

I love the story so far. Great MC. Great world. And I love how accurate the historical details are, it's a perfect mixture of cultivation, horror and history which is rare! I love PMG for example but the author mixes elements of Buddhism, Taoism and other types of spirituality which can be confusing at times. But in Heavenly Curse, all the elements are accurate, true and coupled with... more>> elements of magic. I love that.

As usual, their translator puts translator's notes and explains things, I love that. Totally Insane Translations are really picking amazing novels. I'm a fan! :3 <<less

Initially I thought this novel was pretty good. Even if the fights were somewhat lackluster I imagine they would get better as the main character got stronger. However I cannot stand the main character's inconsistent personality.

When the whole frost bandit village arc rolled around, I just dropped the novel. The main character is initially shown as very cautious. In this entire arc, he has shown zero intelligence and zero caution. He lets enemies live for silly reasons when he previously would kill them off entirely. For example, he defeats the... more>> enemy's leader, and doesn't kill her. The whole situation was entirely nonsensical, and it's very clear the author just doesn't want the first mildly important female character (aside from the ghost girl) to die. So now he has a entire village of enemies who want to kill him, and that's okay now? <<less

The story seems quite interesting, however, there's a serious problem of "Tell, don't show".

"She/he looked furious", "He looked extremely sad", "*** said, looking extremely grave and solemn" are some examples of the kind of phrases you'll find while reading the novel. Aside from that, the narration of the novel feels like "He did that, and then they did that, and when the MC did that, this happened." At the beginning, I thought the author was doing this to quickly skip the "prologue" and go to the main story, to the... more>> fighting, etc. However, as that keeps happening, it starts to disrupt the reading experience and makes me unable to relate to the characters and draw the scene in my imagination.

Despite my small rant here, you should try a few chapters when you have time. <<less

Fantastic mystery and cultivation story set in early 20th century China. I am really enjoying the read. It's similar to the story the Lame Buddhist Monk, with a touch of horror and detective work instead of action and comedy. Check it out.

Don't know who to blame - author or translator - but the novel is written in extremely awkward language, with phrases and sentences not connected to each other, jokes falling flat: it's like a list of facts.

So while the plot might be decent, execution is terrible.

started off interesting w MC growing up after his grandpa died, then finding out that his grandpa stories were true. So he started cultivation (novel has slow cultivation progress but feels that MC steady step by step make MC hard work fulfilling), gain constant enemy either due to inherenting a treasure from his grandpa or some good luck (MC golden finger and plot armor) make it so that MC exp so many near death. In the beginning, MC is more humane and dont kill as often but round chapter 200,... more>> MC just kill anyone that pissed him off (yes theres the reason of making his power known so that flies would stop buzzing round him) but MC has almost no tact dealing w others (straightforward as a board) while on other times hes as cunning as a snake (planting spy on enemy) which seems inconsistent considering that MC was a scammer along w his grandpa
additionally, the chapters are misleaded starting at chapter 237 which brings me so much frustration <<less
