    As cultivation novels gradually fall into the mechanical cycle of "leveling up and changing maps," *Mortal Bones* injects a new dimension of thought into this ancient genre with its core setting of "mortal bones proving the Dao."

Xu Taiping's path to heaven is essentially a hymn to all "ordinary people"—as long as the fire in their hearts remains extinguished, even mortal bones can grow their own defying-the-heaven scales in the cracks of the heavenly path.
