Often I have even screenshotted certain paragraphs just because I liked them that much. Another aspect of chinese webnovels I dislike is the blatant sexism/racism. Though the MC is explicitly sexist in this novel, the author tries to separate the MC's thoughts from his own and the novel's female characters are very much fleshed out, with their own character development and sovereignty over themselves. I believe this is more important than implicit sexism you may find in mediums that appear openly feminist. Lastly, there is no overbearing exposition. Information is given when it is necessary for the reader to understand something. I can easily recommend this novel, even to seasoned webnovel readers who have become tired of "out by the roots" wuxias.
the transformation of ox (being stubborn) and tiger (being fearless)
She goes from being a skeleton with no feeling towards anything else beside Li Quingshan and because of her cultivation method and fallowing everything he says towards actually looking out for him thinking about the bigger picture, being forced to learn about the rest of the cast.
And I'm not talking about the good unbelievable, but the unbelievable where you as a reader start questioning the credibility of the story itself, completely out of nowhere stuff (like an ant backstabbing a god, why is this a thing)
The main character Li Qingshan is very likeable and his interactions quite unique
his cultivation starts VERY slow, but it starts picking up around chapter 390+
His personality is pretty average, he won't act like he's a saint but he's not letting his daemon side change him either, a 50/50. (Personally, I like his daemon side the most, maybe because human cultivators are the norm)
Xiao An, Li Qingshan's companion, keeps his daemon side on check while being as powerful as Qingshan himself
(maybe not as strong as Li Qingshan right now but you know she will always stay around his powerlevel)
She has a very robotic personality and is very adorable
(she just recovererd her memories so this might change)
But the author wronged this character so bad it's crazy, at the start of the story she would travel with Li Qingshan, fight alongside with him, cultivate, have some wholesome moments and some character development.
But now all we get is Xiao An sitting for months in buddhist temples because the big brain author won't stop sh*tting these buddhist masters who find out that Xiao An has a buddhist affinity, of course, these monks will ALWAYS manage to force Xiao An into becoming their disciple because their cultivation will always be 1 or 2 realms above Li Qingshan's, coincidence? I think not!
Why? Is it because she's too strong and teaming up with Qingshan would be too overpowered so he has to take her out of the story for a while? That isn't the reader's problem, the author himself should've known this would happen when he wrote her techniques earlier, also I think we all saw through this Cicada guy promise as a way to keep Xiao An out of the story, shameless.
(Maybe I went a bit too hard with the Xiao An part, but man i've read 662 chapters and now I'm slightly invested, so I do have the right to complain about the author actively taking Xiao An out of the story)
About the side characters I won't say much because the author has recently started obsessing over the "karma" and "karmic ties", so I expect everyone dying sooner or later because Li Qingshan will stop caring about them.
The fights are pretty good, not over the top exaggerations like: (his sword slash severed the myriad dao, the karmic cycles, the ying and yang, mt. Tai and killed the author as well)
So far the most interesting fight was Qingshan's vs Lolth, the techniques were on point, Qingshan's breakthrough made sense and the reason for the fight wasn't petty, by the way i've read people say that Qingshan "r*ped" a woman (i guess they're talking about little Lolth?) which is completely untrue because:
1st. Lolth is a demon spider who transformed into a human after the tribulation, so she's still a demonic animal
2nd. The author clearly stated that Lolth "played" with her victims before eating them
3rd. Once Lolth trapped Qingshan with her silk, only his face (we know our boy Northmoon is a jade beauty) and his "lower" half remained intact, so we knew what was coming if he lost
4th. Qingshan outsmarted and defeated Lolth so he had the right give her a taste of her own medicine, and even though she was unwilling at the start, it wasn't because of the act itself but because Qingshan was a Demon General while she was a Demon Commander. (You dare!?)
The fight with the Corpse King? I didn't care one bit, honestly, can we get rid of zombies and ghosts in Wuxia novels? They're just sponges taking infinite damage then regenerating or growing stronger!
I would even say it was filler but Xiao An got a little bit of development so whatever.
Also i've read people say there aren't young masters in this novel which is wrong
The sword dude Fu Qingjin is a young master in disguise, also Zhou Zhibo, Mo Yu and Si Qing.
Just because they don't directly ask Li Qingshan to kowtow 100 times, slap himself 100 times, cut his left arm and hand over his jade beauties (he only has one and she's not known for her beauty!) doesn't mean they're not young masters, all of them are/were delusional and used the names of their sect/master/title or position to throw their weight around or to oppress people.
