    The story of a seemingly useless but actually brilliant young man being betrayed by his possessed senior brother and expelled from the sect amidst widespread condemnation is both frustrating and exhilarating. The scene where his senior sister cuts off his arm is incredibly intense. The writing is solid, the pacing is comfortable, and the fantasy elements are authentic. Highly recommended for those looking for something to read.

    Reader note

    This is a traditional fantasy Xianxia novel you absolutely cannot miss! The Way of Heaven is to take from the surplus and give to the deficiency; the Way of Man is different, taking from the deficiency and giving to the surplus. Through Bai Zhuo's path to godhood, we see both the evil and the good of human nature. However, the more resources Yu Qiang needs, the more the evil of human nature compels him to plunder. But the good of human nature tells us that only the strong can overcome evil. How do we distinguish between good and evil? The Way of Heaven, intertwined with human nature, represents a social system, with gods representing the upper elite and humans representing the lower classes. Only by seeing through human nature can we understand: above the Way of Heaven, gods eat gods; below the Way of Heaven, humans eat humans; within the Way of Heaven, gods eat humans. The author's writing is excellent, logically rigorous, and avoids being simplistic. The plot is fast-paced, the writing style is concise, and the setting is complex. Don't be fooled by the author's newcomer status; the content is unique.
