    This is pretty good, about the same level as *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*. The characters aren't ridiculous, the dialogue isn't nonsensical, the interpersonal relationships aren't absurd, the writing is smooth, and there's no pretentious or self-invented nonsense. The only downside is that the later battle descriptions get a bit too detailed and verbose. It's almost 7000 chapters now, and personally, I feel *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* is far superior to *Against the Gods* and similar works. I read *Against the Gods* before *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, and it was alright, but after finishing *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, I couldn't even get past two chapters of *Against the Gods*. I managed to read dozens of chapters of *Desire to Seal the Heavens*, but I couldn't continue either; the sentences weren't smooth, and the author didn't use normal words, always inventing nonsensical ones. Writing isn't just about making the story as outlandish as possible; the key is that the characters' words and actions must be logical. Like Jin Yong's early works, the stories themselves weren't the most outstanding, but the characters' speech and actions felt real. Too many online novel authors nowadays lack life experience; their characters spout nonsensical language.
