   The first book was incredibly good. The protagonist had a tragic background, but the later parts were incredibly satisfying. His tragic beginnings are summarized in just a few sentences. Actually, he didn't have a tragic background; he was the son of the leader of a super powerful sect, but was abandoned by his father after becoming a member of the Imperial Guard. The later parts were also incredibly satisfying. Although it's not finished yet, I rarely read the third book anymore, but it's still very beginner-friendly.
