For instance, MC's dark past where he and Butterfly Yan opposed each other to prop up their own monarch was brought up as a casual conversation. All of MC's efforts to become a celebrity? Forget about that in the 2nd half of the story, that part of the plot flew away. Cultivators, who are they again?

there's a dark undercurrent as most of the cast HAS lived a long live, it still retains the easy going vibe but there will bits of their past deeds that we can treat as easter eggs cuz the author don't explain past that haha.

It's not that much, tho I am personally not too disappointed as they already said, they are actor second, demon first, so acting is just a side gig, most of them are rich as f*ck anyway, the part when MC is shooting for a certain brand is a week worth of laughs.

A smart fox with balanced IQ and EQ pretending to be mediocre and dense/easygoing. It's a shame that the author doesnt explain more about his dark past and bad deeds especially as he most probably really infamous back then too (he has a lot of enemies that, then again, has no follow up from author). I mean, there's the thing with with his multiple human masters, him killing someone's parent, an implied mu*ders/revenge?, and the mysterious official's daughter that had saved him back then.

Pretty decent ML, a bit cute too, but has a disease that most mpreg ML with animal theme has, called "hating his kids" (he's the one that keeps the child in his belly tho, like a penguin lol). Other than that, he has a lot of brains but not the kind of super genius type, just can multitask more efficiently and remember more memories like a flashdisk. Oh yeah and he's like super dense, can't understand his feeling with all of his brains until MC's sister had a talk with him.

Before MC and ML dating, it's about the demons/immortal communities in modern world, I had a great laugh reading it, and then a bit of conflict cuz MC is cultivating pure type ways or something but want to lose his v*rginity to ML which will makes it harder to ascend. And then for some reasons there aliens too?? like wtf, it's fine if there's a follow up no matter how absurd it is or just too add length to the romance but it do zero thing to the plot, in other words, no reason for it to be in the plot other than the ending humanities goes to other planets.... Not that annoying though cuz it takes no more than 10 chapter and it's at the very end of the story so just treat's it as extra lol.

Man, this story feels so rushed that, like I'm sure the dark undercurrent will surfaces for a bit with many implications that the author drops, or y'know, explain all MC's dark past, and mystery at the very least, in the stories. So here's the theories I came up with:

a. making a story with dark setting but light hearted vibe is hard without making it a chaotic mess, so author gave up halfway

b. real life problem so author gotta rush it

c. they had forgotten the things that they write previously and want to open a new novel

So I checked the author page in jjwxc and apparently their most popular works is derivatives/fanfic, soo no wonder. Hey but I might read their other modern fantasy works, if there's any :D

With this many errors, why I still gave it a 5 stars you said ? well you see, the novels that i've read recently is worse than this so I guess I'm in a good mood when finding this decent read ?. Anyway, at least this novel doesnt give you a lot of background story about a 2d antagonist that will probably be killed in the near future, infodump about a character that has just appears and never be heard of after, and this novel has logical order of storyline (you know which novels I'm talking about if you have read tons of modern fantasy BL haha). I have a great time reading it and it left a not so bad aftertaste so it's a 5 stars in my book :)

Aliens, it's f*cking aliens.

because it seems like the story will move forward with ML being possessive of MC etc (which I find very cliché at the moment)
