Record of the Missing Sect Master

Description

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

A major event happened recently to the demonic sect – their powerful sect master suddenly went missing.

Everyone comforted each other: “Don’t worry, the sect master must be out pursuing fun, and so on.”

“Well, that makes sense.”

They waited.

Waited and waited.

Waited and waited.

Waited and… Everyone slammed the table: “We’ve waited so long! The sect master must have met with a mishap! Look for him!!” Numerous disciples therefore ran rumbling down the mountain.

On a certain day of the month, a certain sect master opened his eyes and thought in confusion: Hey, who am I?

I didn't expect to read an engaging story when I began.

The story is good, if you love wuxia or love reading about schemes it will be perfect. I think I understand why some people didn't like it : it's because it's a cerebral story. There is a lot of logic and explanation. I personnally had fun reading them since I love political schemes but it's not for everyone.

The love between the MC and ML is totally healthy, it was a nice change from some novels. And even if others people... more>> fell for one or the other we didn't get dogblood drama.

Actually the drama was all around the revenge trope, I like it better than having dogblood drama about the relationship.

Seriously it's a good novel, I totally recommend it ! <<less

I am glad I picked this book up, the overall story did not disappoint, the humor, wit and suspense had me locked in. I kept guessing all through, and best of all even the stern characters had moments of humor that are still stuck in my mind. Kudos to the translator for a great job translating.

I really enjoyed it. Its the kind of novel which is perfectly balanced- not too heavy, not too boring, not too overdramatic, actually funny jokes. It was truly a refreshing read and I seriously laughed a lot.

The mystery and problem solving plot is also pretty cool where we feel like we are part of the gang trying to find that culprit lolol. Tbh the plot is pretty similar to our usual wuxia plots but what makes it interesting is that even though it has some heavy feels, it still feels... more>> light and easy to read and will make you laugh a lot throughout and maybe shed some tears at few scenes... ofcourse most of the tears will be cause of laughing too hard. The final villian is predictable yet not predictable, i.e. the author actually lays down the options for us at the very start but will try to confuse so much on the way that you will keep doubting your predictions haha...

Now the best part of this novel is its characters---trust me, you will love almost all the characters so so much. Its not that they have great character development or something.... its just that they are just too damn adorable, funny and a little crazy lol especially the demonic sect elders, MCs and MLs subordinates/friends and the young master gang and bodyguards.I think I have around 10-13 characters apart from the MC/ML that I really love so much, that I would love to see an anime/live action of this just to see these characters and their silly antics. Even the ones who come way later in the novel will gain your love.

This is the kind of novel where you wont mind MC and ML not being able to have their alone times instead you would like to see all these characters in one place like a theatre play. hahha of course MC and ML still manage to get a lot of alone flirting time here heheehee. Talking about MC/ML----I really loved their romance/flirting and that sense of 'I want to protect the other... and that fear of losing other' feels. Its not the biggest focus here but is still a central part of the story too. Its not too cliche or overdramatic but just mellow and lovable.

I must give a shout out to translator too... its very neat and good quality work which makes you enjoy it even better.

Cons: hmmm I actually dint find any as I was just reading it for the little joys- it is also dialogue heavy rather than action. If you are looking for crazy twist and turns (although there are some crazy revelations), then you may not like it to the extreme cause as I said above its predictable yet not predictable- the villains' are great yet pretty bland at the same time. I did wish to read more about the other characters though cause everyone seems so interesting

Nevertheless, in short---its a big picnic where everyone is playing chess and other games and some are busy flirting and doing their own thing.. read it to know what I mean. lololol.

PS: This is a shipping heaven ok, except for the MC/ML pair (cause they are canon of course) I think I shipped almost everyone with everyone else (not the serious way of course- everyone's interaction is just so cute-villains too lol) I would say my rating is actually 4.4/4.5 story wise but ahhhh its defo a 5 for the characters.. <<less

REVENGE IS THE BEST COLD DISH SERVED !!

This story is really good as it falls under revenge as its main focus. A little kid who had everything in his life, until he is 5 years old, everything disappeared in an instant and his life turned upside down. When he went to his master, he once again faced disaster after some 10 years. Leaving his love beside, he went to become strong and came back to take revenge. Reuniting with his love, both together set traps for revenge. The little kid... more>> is our MC Ye You.

Some may think MC is a bit overpowered, actually he really isn't. We can describe it as patience and enduring. He waited for nearly 20 years for his power to increase, and spent 7 years conspiring this revenge. So he knows the target, knows their nature, and he is intelligent, so he can be able to tell many possibilities, so his entire chess board game, from the start, he will be in upper hand. Besides ML is also smart and indulgent, making them perfect match.

The story of MC is sad, and makes us want to enter the story and give him a big hug. At the same time, hating those villains to the core. I wished to hear the individual stories of those demonic sect elders, but the author didn't say much. But it's alright. The story came into a full circle at the end with main leads.

And MC and ML 's love for each other is quite pleasing and heart warming.

At last I only have you <<less

Props to the translator for giving us such a wonderful novel to read. I really liked the characters, including the side characters. It was quite enjoyable to see them each have their own personality and the author managing to balance them while still making the MC stand out. In terms of mystery and plot though, the novel doesn't really stand up to my 5 star rating (but I'm still leaving it since, as I said, I did enjoy reading it because of all the characters). I feel like many things... more>> were revealed too soon so the overall excitement was lowered. And despite there being some decent plot twists, they didn't manage to make much of an impact because the other mystery points were already revealed. Moreover, there were a few of the so called 'logic' the author tried to use to justify for certain actions of the character but that didn't manage to convince me and I still found several plot holes

Despite all of that, the author did very smartly plan out the story. I totally recommend it! <<less

Very well written, the mystery aspect isnt too complicated if youre not skim reading it you'll probably work out each plot point and relevant answers before they're explicitly revealed (I'm saying this as a good thing. Imo a well written mystery just has to satisfy the reader not constantly throw out shocking plot twists but allow the reader to draw their own conclusions).

The MC is very satisfying to follow as he's not an idiot or constantly needing saving. In fact every character has depth and is interesting to follow (screw... more>> the villains tho). I actually read this a while ago so I can't remember the romance aspect that well but I remember it evolving quite naturally but it's not the main focus.

Spoiler for one aspect of the couple (but I may be remembering wrong)
Spoiler

I don't know if I'm remembering right but I think the offscreen papapa had slightly suspicious consent but I don't remember exactly. It could just have been me interpreting it wrong. Idk at this point I've gotten into the sad habit of giving novels I like a bit of leeway when it comes to small (only small) mildly dubious consent issues

First and foremost, Shrimp Chips is an amazing translator so many kudos to her/him.

Secondly, this novel is a great read, with intricate plot and a great cast of characters.

As many comments have already mentioned, the plot does require a lot of brain juice (IMO) if you try to guess and predict alongside the characters within this huge, entangling web of a plan/plot line. But if you're like me and just enjoy things as they unfold, that's fine also and the journey all the while is still immensely enjoyable.

For the cast,... more>> MC is a smart guy with outstanding qualities as well as human flaws. And though ML exists as a silent supporter beside MC's side most of the time, he certainly helps balance out MC's tenacity and keep the other grounded, in a way also making MC more real and relatable.

The rest of the cast is lively and adorkable, especially those Demonic Sect Elders who have definitely 'suffered' much under their Sect Master (aka MC) 's hand. Though only appearing in a few scenes, I still feel like each and every one of them deserve a back story because they are just that interesting!

Overall, a MUST-READ.

And finally: screw prestigeous sects, I'd sign up for the Demonic Sects at the drop of the hat! <<less

    1. This review is for the Shrimp Chips translation, which is incredible.
    2. I was actually sad when I knew I was reaching the final chapters because I didn't want it to end even though the plot was neatly wrapped up. This is not a thing that usually happens to me.
    3. The plot is like a huge Rube-Goldberg machine, where each action perfectly keys the next action, and you're too busy watching the piece that's in motion to try and figure out what it'll do next.. You're always one step behind the ML and two steps behind the MC, and it's fun. Don't try to keep up, just enjoy the ride.
    4. The ML and MC are extremely cute. Their relationship has depth
      Spoiler

      (although I will say the dub-con in the backstory is totally unnecessary and I wish the author had found another way to accomplish that plot goal)

      [collapse]
      and it's nice to see a CP that actually like each other as people in a regular, everyday kind of way. The ML also unreservedly goes to absolute mush over the MC at all times and I am here for it.
    5. The Demonic Sect Elders are hilarious and if there was an entire novel just about them I would absolutely read it. Blessings upon Xiao-Mei.

Yey! I finally finished reading this. It was a good read. The beginning was good but then as I continued reading I felt like the plot was dragged and I was about to drop it. But then, the story got interesting again with many revelations so I was able to finish it.

The MC is so clever that it can also cause readers to have nosebleed. I just can't keep up with his cleverness. He is full of tricks that sometimes I think his brain was engineered differently.

The ML is always... more>> true to his character. Even at the beginning it was showed that he truly cared about the MC. The fact that the ML is called the wife still makes me want to laugh my head off.

The side characters are not bad especially the demonic sect elders. I also like the young Wei. <<less

I really enjoyed this novel, it's entirely based on the revenge of the MC and the world is about martial arts without the cultivation realms I had read so far.
The story is relatively simple and very new to me, but very well written and with so many twists that never get bored.
The relationship between MC and ML is also very sweet and develops gradually from the beginning of the story. It is worth it!

This story is quite entertaining. The demon sect elders and shadow guard are so adorable! Of course the main cp are quite endearing. The whole story is is 1st shrouded with mystery and alot hilarity happens along the way, but eventually it’s leads to a good closure for whole plot. But along the way its quite entertaining, but I have to say the pace is rather slow, if not for the MC and the funny elders I really cannot keep up. I wish the author can make and extra for... more>> the junior generation, but I guess it’s not the main point.
Thank you for the translator who really make alot of footnotes and side notes, really helpful to understand and reminder of the previous events. Tq <<less

Really enjoyed this! It was quite entertaining to read and there was humor sprinkled in throughout so it never felt dark& dense. Some of the quirky responses, situations had me giggling away. I liked how the author laid out the plot and schemes; The way the little things made more sense after you saw the whole picture. The scheme itself is rather convoluted, yes. (But I wouldn't say there's any moral dilemma as such.)

Some might think a more direct approach would be preferable but imo it was essential the group was exposed to the misdeeds little by little. Also, since they were active participants, they could see first hand that the scale and seriousness of the white piece's deeds were THAT horrendous. Afterall, the goal wasn't just ending the white piece, it was also ensuring their permanent fall from grace.

I think the Demonic faction won the prize for most interesting characters. Absolutely loved the MC's sly character (although he is admittedly pretty OP), his sect elders as well as good friend Xie (he's so annoying/hilarious/great lol). The ML was rather typical, in contrast. He was.. Alright. Steady, I suppose. The only drawbacks I can think of are

Spoiler

1) How bloody useless the other elders were. They were literally dependent on Xiao for any sort of decision. Its hard to believe tbh. 2) The ending of some of the side characters. I took a liking to the Young Masters Jiangyue, Xilai.. I'd have liked to see Xilais reaction and how he ended up. He was a good boy.

Other than these, great read. Good translations by Shrimp as well. <<less

Amazing... I don't know why but at first few chapter the story actually didn't get me much engaged with it but later oh boy... It's interesting... Love it... And of course as the translator said before to understand the story better we atleast have to read and reread it twice... As I read the story twice and then many confusing things got cleared... Give it a try it's good and worth reading... Also who are saying translator is not doing good for those... No you are wrong... Translator did a... more>> great job... But as they're translating from a language to another it's inevitable that some words or sentences or meaning can't be conveyed perfectly and so it's doesn't make good sounding or looks odd... But after rereading everything I think that bits of confusion gets cleared as welll... So good luck... Also

While MC's background is heart wrecking and I cried alot imagining how painful everything was.... I love the demonic faction's elders... They are real cuties... Love them... ❤❤ <<less

I made a NU account just to review this. Thats how good it is.

I actually started this as a light reading novel after the heavy plot of Sha Po Lang but boy was I surprised.

This novel is insanely underrated and very beautiful. Its heavy plot is balanced out with humour. I especially loved all demonic sect elders lmao.

I love the MC Ye You for his intellect

... more>>
Spoiler

It is highkey impressive how he set up the chess board and was several steps ahead of everyone at all times.

[collapse]

Our main couple is a badass power couple, and I rlly like how theres no stereotypical 'soft' bottom/ 'tough' top trope here. Theyre both extremely capable and smart individuals.

and speaking of, it is actually illegal to not fall in love with Wenren Heng.

If you like revenge based dramas like mdzs, youll LOVE this. Except, all characters here get a good ending. *Cries in jiang cheng stan*

Spoiler

except wei jiangyue and ding xilai but then again, being able to live is good enough for them.

[collapse]

Unlike mdzs, the mc's faults are also addressed and he acknowledges the hurt he caused and heals from it.

Spoiler

bit*h just left my child wenren heng like that?! I cried at that part.

[collapse]

the author has put a lot of care into it and so has the translator. 11/10 recommend. <<less

i feel smart reading this lol maybe this is how it feels to be powerful..

although a bit twisted maybe, this novel is actually a feel-good story for me. This is a story with morally grey characters, pretty fast pace, lots and lots of scheming and will probably keeps you high on adrenaline.

Choose Shrimp Chips Translations, it is really good.

The story itself not bad either, a lot of fun moments, interesting side characters.

The MC is too overpowered but think of it as of the result of 20 years of preparation.

Also too few positive female characters, only Lady Tao I guess

This is a step by step revenge story that involved a rather big number of characters, and a whodunnit mistery for reader.

I also like the light tone of the story here, eventhough it used the Jianghu and cultivation as its setting.

I know I will re read it again, and maybe two or 3 more times. The story is enjoable to read.

This was really well translated, had an interesting mystery/revenge plot, which was sometimes confusing but was thoroughly explained to this dense one, and had hilarious side characters.

I’m usually one who enjoys a good chase between the main characters before there is mutual love, but it made sense for this story.

A pretty hard one full of schemes and mysteries. Not so much love or fluff. I enjoy more easy ones and this really made my brain hurt. I find it very well written, but if you want something easy and fluffy, than this is the wrong choice. But if you have the time to try to understand all the schemes than it’s a pretty nice reading.
