Knowing that they’ll get together, I simply hate it. Her family f*cked with the MC from the very beginning, tried to kill him. They stop him from going to school even though his scores are exceptional. MC goes through hell, he suffers a lot mentally, knowing he’s going to die soon and he keeps getting targeted for no reasons. The girl has an easy life, she trains, read book, goes to play mahjong (-_-“)
That girl isn’t worth the sand left by MC’s foot!
*It doesn't downgrade the intelligence of side characters to make the MC look smart.
*The side characters have personalities of their own.
*The romance is solid, yes you have to wait more than 200 chapters (ahead of the current translated chapters), but it's worth it.
*Mao Ni's writes way better than his contemporaries.
*It strays from the most common cliches of the genre.
*Not everyone who antagonizes the MC is an a**hole. The things that are not so good may be the fights which are not so thrilling and a bit long, but I'm here because of the story not for the fights and the author can get better. The pace is a defect as a web novel I guess, which strong points are a straightforward plot and fast paced action, but for a normal novel it's not so bad. But yeah if you don't have patience or are looking for something more entertaining, then don't read it.
280 CHAPTERS! THAT'S WHEN MC (who is unconscious!) MEETS HIS FIANCE! HOLY sh*t YOU BETTER HAVE AN OVERABUNDANCE OF FLUFF FROM HERE ON OR THAT ROMANCE TAG IS USELESS!
Edit:
Style Score: -100/5
The biggest and weakest point in this story is the writing flow is SHIIIIIITTTTT! Something that should take, at best, a few seconds takes CHAPTERS long. This is just the WORST way to create suspense and I f*cking hate you if you write sh*t like that.
Story Score: 4/5
The story has some substance. It's unlike every other XianXia where the objective is something vague like "Get stronger". In ZTJ, the objective of the MC is the same. What makes it acceptable in this WN is that if the MC doesn't get stronger, he'll be killed by his illness. There's also various things happening in the background like the Sects are still moving against the Demon Race, and Black Robe n**ger is planning assassinations and shit. MC is just the poor f*cker that's caught in the right place at the wrong time.
Character Score: 3/5
Luoluo is the best character, hands down. Too bad she's not the main waifu orz.
Read up to 273. The spoiler contains events and where looooooong battle arcs happen. The following Spoiler is an FYI, but more like a warning where the flow of the story is complete and utter sh*t because there's a sense of danger going on where the MC and co could die, but is taking like 50 chapters long.
MC starts being able to cultivate at 122.
At 144 is the first fight of MC.
Also, it's really not a harem so don't expect Best girl (Lou Lou) to be the waifu.
And if you're looking for Romance, LOL I'm at 175, and the MC hasn't even met his fiancé face-to-face yet, and it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.
At around 250 upwards is the "Garden of Zhou" arc, and holy shit, this is like the WORSE arc ever. 30 Chapters where the characters are dicking around while theres a very prominent sense of danger to the MC. The flow is just ruined because the author insist on making it slow! This is worse than f*cking Dragon Ball!
The Demon Race have set up a trap trying to kill and MC and his friends. While in an ambush, one of his friends betrays him and he has to use the Black Dragon to call for help. You know what the Black Dragon does?
She doesn't call for help.
And there was this fifth guy, that should be on the same side of MC. MC is surrounded.
He doesn't help either.
His fiancee is currently dicking around some mountain path and is heading for a trap.
Yeah, she doesn't do the wise thing which is turn around but instead keeps walking right into the trap.
What's happening with the MC? He's drowning in a lake.
It's slow as shiiiiieeeet with a whole heck of filler. The author continually delays events, just like all other CN writers and I HATE them for having such a useless writing culture.
Short battles are honestly okay. The problem is, these battles tend to be a one-stomp-show which is showing the splendor of MC and Co.s' OPness.
Now the problem is the main battles. The big fights where the MC has to prove himself.
Words are incessantly rewritten and it's continually hammering the point that "Oh, it's impossible for the MC to win!" And then BAM MC f*cking wins! People are shock! "How the hell did he win!? That was impossible! Isn't he only at Purification/Ethereal Opening/etc/etc/etc."
The only really great thing about this are the characters. Unlike most CN where villains are idiotic, this one currently doesn't have that problem.
Well, background characters are utter dickheads, but side characters are okay.
MC's side kick are pretty great. MC himself isn't anyone stellar that would make me scream like a fangirl just from how cool he is, but he's an alright bloke.
----
Anyone who said the MC is indifferent is a moron and doesn't know what he's talking about.
The MC is on a plot-related count down due to his sickness. Because of that, he doesn't want to spend his enery in getting angry and would rather get sh*t done, like continue reading more books and finding a cure for his illness. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean he doesn't get angry. In fact, because he got ticked off at the very beginning is why we have a convoluted plot in the first place.
The MC also believes himself to be "in the right", which he actually is. Because of that, he often times ignores people's warnings or threats. Simply because if he bowed to their will, he feels it wouldn't be "fair". Also, since he thinks he's already gonna die by 20, bowing down to others when you're in the right sounds pretty ret*rded.
Now when people are saying the plot is SLOW, they are not joking. Currently, I'm on like 50 something chapter where sh*t is going to go down, dragging in the royalty and ambassadors into the whole mess. I started skimming because I wanted to find out what happened and what MC is going to do, and holy shit, it took 20+ chapters for that.
If you want an action-packed, moderately paced romance, I don't recommend this. I think the novel itself is great, but the slow pace is an aquired taste. However, the novel does paint a better, clearer, and more complete picture of the scene and cast, very much atypical to most XiaXiang novel which is just a "who has the bigger dick" contest like TDG or ATG or whatever CAN crap that's popular nowadays. (Seriously, who LIKES reading cultivation training!? I'm never gonna use that and it sure as HELL isn't entertaining to read.)
she's not away from the capital just for (?) training, because the crane found her in a bar (lol)
When the crane gave CCS face, is the most epic part in the story I think lol. I love the rivalry with Gou Hanshi (and his acknowledgement, which is a roundabout way to make others see how amazing CCS is and I LOVE IT), and the sometimes frustrating interaction with Tang 36. Or when the wolf boy apparently is doing things for a very humane reason, and then when we get deeper to his philosophy. Or when the princess stood by his side.
If you can get used to the slow pace, ZTJ is one of the most precious stories, I promise.
All the positive things said about this novel is accurate. The flow, prose, foreshadowing, plot is very enjoyable and poetic. This piece of cloth is woven with the choicest words, deliberate characters in a plot that builds up serenely and explodes with intense action much like what would actually transpire in the real world.
That being said, this novel suffers with many drawbacks which kills its latent potency to the point that the fan will feel like crying.
Whats so bad about this novel? THE PLOT. Its written nicely, but like with many xianxia novels, the author seems to have lost interest in bringing this masterpiece together in a gratifying way. The characters have such unique personalities, such realism but the author does nothing with them.
The cultivation system, political intrigue, world building, starts off with such pomp but unfortunately fails to deliver even to half of the hype, like a dinner at the Trump tower. I am actually being generous here.\
The romance, which could have been the best among any xianxia out there fades slowly into mediocrity as the author seems to have lost interest.
All in all. Look out for this author's work, this is how a genius writes, but be aware that he loses interest pretty fast.
Most of my disappointment comes from seeing a masterpiece fall into mediocrity of wuxia style political drama. Other than that this is a above average overall read. Go for it if you want to detox from all the cocaine and a political drama interests you.
