Perfection (which is subjective) in a novel. Meng Xi Shi is a genius and it shows. Her works mostly delve into characters and make them... more>> shine. The plot is engaging and makes you think of the bigger picture, drawing you into the world. Each character is written with care and understanding, while maintaining complexity. The plot might be confusing due to its extensivity , but is a must read if one is looking for a slow romance that has an overarching story. Placed higher than MDZS due to personal preference of character personalities and the depth with which they are written. <<less

Similar to Peerless with the personalities of the ML and MC, and universe, this novel by Meng Xi Shi once again provides a slow romance,... more>> deep characterization and attention to detail. The characters are the shining aspect of this novel, each feeling unique and multi dimensional. The plot is simpler than Peerless and flows well. These are both a must for those looking for novels akin to Mo Dao Zu Shi. <<less

Reading this novel is engaging while it may get confusing due to its large cast of characters. The plot is quite intricate and requires attentive... more>> reading but is exceptionally well done; focusing on characters and their pasts, their actions, emotions, etc. The romance is slow paced, beautifully done and is dealt with care and consideration. Of course, world building is key and the author provides. I assure you your experience with this novel will be worth your while.  <<less

It is hard to find fault within a work such as LOTM. The world building alone is highly detailed and lively, with mystery, as expected, woven into every corner. The power mechanics and hierarchy is beautifully done; the characters and their interactions are given incredible care. The plot is intricate and carefully introduced, gradually ramping up in scale.... more>>

While it is difficult to find fault, it is not impossible. The beginning and premise of the novel is incredibly detailed — too detailed. It is hard to grasp the terms, places and information given to each of the characters actions without feeling overwhelmed and lost, turning into a heavy read; however, that being said, one does get the hang of it and the novel eases a bit after 20 or so chapters. It is a wonderful novel; an experience I would recommend wholeheartedly. <<less

The amount of detailed world building the author constructs is amazing to say the least. One is immersed into the story from the beginning, and... more>> care is paid to the reader in terms of introducing the plot and world. The immersive nature of this novel boosts the ever present horror aspect to a considerable degree. It is an extremely entertaining novel, appealing to readers looking for novelty within the horror genre. If one has read My House of Horrors by the same author, it is familiar while improving upon the mystery and plot of the novel. However, this novel does suffer from constant MC flattery by the side characters at every moment. It is tiring to hear about how great the MC is when it is clear from his actions itself. Apart from this, it's a wonderful read.  <<less

The plot is extremely well done and there are twists which are quite unexpected. The characters have dimensions and a good degree of complexity. I... more>> think where this novel shines the most is in its plot. It's highly entertaining, the characters speak realistically and the plot just flows. It is a good read.  <<less

This novel, quite frankly, has one of the most logical and easy to like protagonist. He's incredibly careful in his actions, takes precautions;  doesn't underestimate but doesn't take bullsh*t either. The world building, characters, atmosphere is well done, with the exception of the plot being confusing towards the end making it feel somewhat foreign. The story is highly engaging that it makes you want more. 1000+ chapters may seem daunting, but the ride is well worth the time.  There are moments in this novel where I've genuinely felt afraid to read it at night. You can read past the 100 chapter on the app webnovel.... more>>

The ending (to mention again) however, gets more confusing with new terms and symbolism, leaving much to be desired. <<less

This novel does its humour well. Each chapter has purpose and it is clear that the story has been thought out in its entirety before writing it out. ... more>>

The MC and ML aren't the only fleshed out characters as the side characters have a significant amount of character and personality as well. It's an easy and quick to grasp novel with interesting plot development. The romance seems to be slow paced as well, which is my preferred way. Give it 3-4 chapters, if it doesn't do it for you, drop it.  <<less

The main character was really easy to get attached to and quite hilarious, however, the romance in this novel isn't handled as well as it... more>> should have been and the ML's character lacks a bit of depth. The plot mainly focuses on the MC and ML, however a more overarching plot would have fit much better. Definitely Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's weakest work, not to say it's bad; however, compared to the rest of her works it's lacking. <<less

Another really interesting premise to a novel

Character is what I look the most forward to in novels and JYJF certainly provides. Dimensional characters, intriguing plot development, hilarious interactions, etc so far. <<less

Had been dropped previously, and the rating was according to the premise and intrigue it gave off, I'll place it accordingly after having read a good portion of the plot. <<less

 This novel ends quite abruptly in such an odd manner. Otherwise, if you don't care about such endings and just the journey then go ahead... more>> and give it a try, it's a charming little story.  <<less

Pretty forgettable novel. Its average, don't recommend.

Another average novel. Nothing special. Not recommended.

Pretty forgettable and the change of relationship into romance is extremely absurd. Typical op MC with absolutely no shortcomings which gives lack of complexity to... more>> characters. The plot is basic. Not recommended. <<less

Not worth anybody's time. The pacing is not ideal. The characters themselves are portrayed in a strange and pathetic manner. The actions they take are... more>> all absurd and illogical. All in all its below average. <<less
