I've never looked forward to a serialized novel like this before. I devoured the entire book until it was discontinued. The novel's sentences deeply moved me, especially Zhang Mingyu's words when faced with Li Xuantian's dangerous mission: "To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue lost learning, and to usher in an era of peace for all…
Why aren't many people watching?! Everyone come and see! It's set against the backdrop of the City God! It's both ancient and new, come and watch!!! It's really good, it has a great Chinese horror atmosphere, although it's not overly intense, it's enough!
Don't disconnect! It's such a hassle to switch platforms to watch it again. Nice!!!
Has the author not enabled the tipping function? [Petrified]
It's really good. I haven't read such a good novel in a long time. The male lead was so cowardly at the beginning that it gave me a headache, but as I read on, he really did grow without me even realizing it, becoming a calm and collected big shot. It happened so subtly, it was quite amazing. It felt like he was a novice with the mindset of a master. It's different from the master-like mentality in other books, which is quite interesting and makes it a good read. 🤔🤔
This book has a gripping plot and is truly captivating. Li Xuantian enters the game himself, forgetting his past, transforming from a weak person in need of help into a powerful individual who understands what all beings truly desire, and remembers everything.
When I first started reading, seeing the title, I thought this book would start with... A "hot-blooded, high-octane, martial arts" kind of story. But after clicking in... Oh no! I was a little surprised... But! The plot twists and eeriness are numerous and keep you reading...
No romance, no harem. I usually don't read male-centric novels, but this one is an exception. This is because Li Xuantian is willing to risk everything to change the world, to restore the cycle of reincarnation between the human and the underworld to normal. Meanwhile, the Lord of Mount Tai wants to reverse the order of the human and the underworld, turning the human world into a living hell.
Actually, the author's writing is quite good, but many plot points are incomplete, and something feels missing at the end. For example, the background and karmic connections of Xuan Nu are explained in detail, but her entanglement with Xuan Tian isn't elaborated on. It's as if Li Xuan Tian's arrival at Xuan Tian was sudden.
These clay figurines sit on top of everything so smugly; sooner or later a general will come and blast them with a few cannons 😏😏
