It suited my taste, but it was too pretentious, using eight hundred adjectives in a single sentence. The word "affected" really doesn't apply to this novel.
It's a good read. I quite like the gentle and refined protagonist. I'm tired of those selfish and overly ruthless characters these days, and this kind of story is so rare. I really like it, and it's quite good. The protagonist's inner thoughts (regarding the past) are also well-written. It's just a bit short. It's a comfortable read, and I didn't encounter any major flaws (in my opinion).
It's a good read. Its strengths include: 1. Excellent writing style; 2. Good narrative pacing; 3. Excellent protagonist character design: a rare exception to the "funny" type, as the current overabundance of such characters is tiresome; 4. Excellent plot climax: the small climax around chapter 70 is handled exceptionally well, reminiscent of the Sword and Qi Great Wall arc.
This book features a righteous and kind protagonist; readers who enjoy this style shouldn't miss it!
It's actually my favorite Ghost Valley Eight Desolations! Five stars for that alone! Speaking of which, I recently started a new Ghost Valley game and spawned a Soul-Devouring Sword Prodigy in Huafeng Continent. I discovered she has a selfless, familial, and protective personality, so I immediately recognized her as my mother. Hopefully, she won't try to devour me later! [What?]
I consider myself a rather picky reader when it comes to novels, but this book is truly excellent. Although it has some minor flaws in certain details, overall its merits outweigh its flaws. It ranks among the top-tier novels I've read, and even on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), it's a rare gem.
I'll give it five stars for now, and then I'll give it a closer look. The scene was a bit off; the female lead was drinking alcohol made from the male supporting character's tears, and he was seen pressing his hand on her shoulder and pulling her wrist. While there was a reason for it, it still felt strange.
The revisions are quite good; it's definitely much better than the previous version. Even setting aside the game's context, the plot alone makes it a decent cultivation novel. Just a small question: does the protagonist still have a chance to save Yuanzhi? I really hope to make up for Yuanzhi's regrets, even if it's just in the novel 💕 But the protagonist already has a Nascent Soul stage at the start, so logically there seems to be no reason for him to return to Yongning Prefecture 🥺🥺
It's very well written. I was tired of traditional cultivation fantasy novels, and this style is much more appealing to me. The author's writing is very skillful, with delicate descriptions and narration, a blend of refined and colloquial language, and a comfortable pace. It also perfectly incorporates the Ghost Valley Eight Desolations IP. It's a great read, and I hope it maintains its high quality.
I finished reading it in one go in two hours, and it was quite enjoyable. I really like this kind of protagonist. I hope the author won't change the male lead's character because of the comments, and that there won't be any plot points where the male lead misplaces his affections.
