After reading the comic, I had to go and MTL this series. So glad to finally see this here!

The story follows Ji Yuan as he navigates his new life after coming to a new world and embarks on a journey to cultivate immortality. What I especially liked about the story was its emphasis on fateful encounters and how one choice can alter the lives of many others. It was fun to see, as the story progressed, how the fates of people Ji Yuan encountered changed over time. The side characters... more>> were all unique and memorable.

Ji Yuan is a protagonist you can really root for; he has a solid moral compass, upholding justice and condemning evil. He's willing to offer a hand to those in need and give advice to those who are willing to listen, but in the end lets others make their own choices, good or bad.

If I remember, the ending conflict felt a bit sudden; there were parts of it that had been brewing throughout the story, while other parts only appeared shortly before they were dealt with. But overall, I felt that things were resolved and tied together rather neatly. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Edit: I want to commend the translator. They've done a great job and put in a lot of effort, especially with the footnotes in every chapter for added clarity. <<less

A xanxia novel with a good story with a good translation and fun characters? Man, what a surprise! Only 25 chapters in of course, but the story feels very charming and fun. The protagonist being partially blind is interesting, and seeing him con his way out of dire situations is funny. I look forward to more, and I think more people should pick this up as more chapters get translated.
