<zeorth: it doesnt dumb down the side characters to make MC look good.>
first the theme. There are hundreds of wuxia novels coming out every year, but most just feel like a wish fulfilment or just not practical. Like a random guy just walks to a king and badmouths him. Now how in the world is that practical in this world? This novel has the most authentic feel to it.
then there are the characters. Good I love these characters. Again most novels could replace their characters with 2d figures but we wont feel a thing. But not this one. The feel like real people that live in an old chinese feudal lord system world. The characters dont feel and act like petty teenagers throughout their lives.
then the story itself. It uses a lot of cliches. Not gonna lie. But it uses them is such a good manner that its a plus. It made me second guess, triple guess every single little thing even after it was confirmed which in other novels would have been obvious from the start. This is what made me keep reading the story.
lastly the depth and philosophy. Some people criticise it for it. They call it flowery language and nothing else. I'd say it re-sparked my love for poetry. For some 400-500 chapters straight it had 1-3 mentions/ references from famous ancient chinese poems and literature. Sometimes it indeed went a bit too far in it but in other parts it dropped some poster worthy lines and different takes on matters that you usually dont often see (well again some criticise it for doing this saying it makes it needlessly complicated or that its not an original thought. Well, I don't expect a single author to come up with all of that in the first place. Whats presented to us is a bit from all over the Chinese history and philosophy and not being read in the Chinese classics it was still somewhat new to me and I guess for a lot of other readers). Another thing to add, it sometimes just doesn't lay out the facts verbose and you actually have to understand what you are reading. Like, after talking to a lot of people in the comments and forms I realised a lot of them didnt even realise when they (the MC and female lead) had ***. Other novels hipe it up so much and here it wasn't even directly mentioned, just a casual 1-2 liner remark that didn't even say it directly. then there is the rant about the female lead being a *****. I mean comeon? Is see? Seriously? No. The family did go overboard (but by wuxia standards not overboard at all) but the female lead even made sacrifices for his sake when she practically didn't even know him! Just to uphold his honour (btw for what reason? Just cuz her grandfather in his senile years gifted her as a symbol of gratitude?) she went against her own sect and people who she considered her brothers. She was THE freaking princess of the most powerful nation goddammit. And she still did all those things cuz she felt she owed him that much (whether she did or not I know for certain I wouldn't be able to go through with it). oh I completely forgot to mention the translators. He gave explanations for every single reference and without it, it wouldn't have been half as enjoyable. Tho webnovels have just picked it out of the blue, I think it will give more exposure to this novel so im ok with it.
But, the only thing I feel is a drawback is that the MC is still weak even after 140 Chapters, no OPness you wud expect from a typical Xianxia till now unlike all the others where after a 100 Chapters the MC wud probably be known as an incredible genius and turn ruthless and go on a killing spree... But it’s also a gud point about this novel.. The MC probably won’t turn too ruthless I guess
