Give myself a good review to encourage myself for persisting in writing, even though not many people read it. [Please follow][Please follow][Please follow]
A hidden gem, with sound values, solid writing, and occasional depth, it's a shame it's only lacking in popularity. It's likely the author will struggle to persevere... It's such a pity. I suggest the author find some recommendations or create their own AI-generated promotional materials; even good wine needs advertising.
It's good, the pacing is quite fast. Perhaps because I've read many long novels, this one isn't dragging. Neither the level of development nor the emotions are weak, but it feels a bit lacking in refinement. The build-up for both battles and emotions feels rushed. However, the foreshadowing is filled in, and it doesn't leave the reader feeling frustrated.
Mu has so many scenes, and her entanglement with the male lead can't be simply summarized as a pure friendship (specifically referring to the male lead's feelings for her; of course, people will say the male lead doesn't have those feelings, but body language and verbal communication can reveal a person's true feelings). Regarding love rivals, the advice is that both men and women should deal with their own romantic entanglements; never try to solve your own love rivals.
At first glance, it seems alright. Could you add more spells, extraordinary creations (like floating cities, soul-splitting curses, astrologers manipulating laws using the stars as arrays), and battles between gods, demons, monsters, and sorcerers with diverse abilities and methods? Also, could you give us a supporting character to play with?
It's clear the author put a lot of effort into this book; the character development was thoughtful, and it's one of the few traditional novels that I can actually get into.
Who's the female lead? I haven't watched much, but it seems pretty good. I'll give it 5 stars for now.
The content is good, keep it up, you're almost at 500,000 words.
It's beautiful, and the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.
I'll stop here for now. There's no romantic involvement with the female lead. I'll wait a while before continuing.
