    Whether it's good or not is up to you to decide. It's a traditional fantasy, not a typical "trash-to-riches" story. There's no broken engagement, no system, no rebirth, no backstabbing or scheming within families or sects. It's not mindless or brainless, and there are no extras deliberately targeting or mocking the protagonist. The protagonist is humorous, witty, decisive, and not a saint. He develops his power and conquers the heavens with his brothers. The content is relatively light-hearted, with a fast pace and frequent updates. Suggestions are welcome.
