    Reviews are really good actually! I have a few I don't quite agree with, but maybe I'll change my mind.

    And now I'll recommend some because I want to see your opinions on these too :D (Don't feel obligated to actually read them, I'm just curious lol)

    Spirit King Elqueeness; Main Character Hides His Strength; Possessing Nothing; Sovereign of Judgement (thought this one was kinda mediocre)

    And all the KR ones on wuxiaworld.com (they're mostly new tho)

      Thank you! I've already read some novels you recommend, (sorry i forgot to put it) and I'll read possessing nothing next. SKE has still few chapters so I'll try to stock up a bit before binge reading it. Happy reading uwu

    haha... Well, you don't have a favorite Korean novel I think... But I agree with almost every review except 'The Second Coming of Gluttony'...

      Well it's mostly because KR novels are not that intricate when it comes to plot and so events get real predictable (except some weird plot twists). About my review on 'The Second Coming of Gluttony' though.... I can't really compromise more than that :(( It's one of the novels I have mixed feelings with and makes me feel complicated. Happy reading though uwu
