I learned about this novel thanks to the manga adaption getting translated first, and since the manga so far has been very promising I came to look here! The manga is only up to CH22 currently, and I've no idea where that translates to chapters in the novel.

Omg this novel is a legend, though I do prefer the manhwa adaptation as the art style is so cute and pretty for an action themed wuxia world, in which this novel having a female lead truly differs as you can tell the main focus is upon the action gist of the battle and not upon bettering and beautification of the fl. Oh my god when I say I love how so anti niche this novel is, I mean it, like it is not every day that you get such... more>> a superb idea with actually content and compelling plot and LIKEABLE characters. The FL is well op (not really but she is an absolute legend and *genius*) and unlike manhua, which I originally believed the adaptation was until seeing the art style, is actually very drawn over and consistent in its timeline with no petty one dimensional characters who only exist to be face slapped, or a quadrillion secondary ‘male leads’ who live to have one interaction and somehow fall in love (manhuas I swear... I only adore hidden love can’t be concealed or TBAVW or my love legally romance for this reason) no this one is really different and well obviously cooler no doubt. Overall unlike other reviews I have written in the past I aint spoiling anything other than the fact this is a great read not only to just pass the time. Enjoy <3 <<less
