    The first book was very good, but personally, I felt the romance was a bit convoluted throughout. The second book was more of a power-up story with less romance, focusing more on camaraderie among fellow disciples and girls helping each other. The third book was about a heartthrob, but later on, the values ​​became quite high (this heartthrob doesn't dislike female prostitutes). The fourth book had foreshadowing in every sentence, but the ending wasn't very good. I can't remember the fifth book, but I read it four times. The sixth book was about a widower raising a child, and the romance was quite smooth. I read the seventh book a long time ago, and my current impression is that it was very convoluted. The eighth book had a female lead whose family were all treacherous officials, and she was very intelligent. It fit the background quite well, while the male lead was more like a background character, an obedient big dog. It was quite exhausting to read. The ninth book was bland and realistic, with a modern urban romance feel. The tenth book started very sweetly, but it turned out to be a pipe dream.

    I really enjoyed this book. If you like metaphysical elements, you should give it a try. This book is quite different from other romance novels. There are many characters, but the background is very rich, and the plot is also intricate. I highly recommend it! [Top Post] (The author slows down the pace a bit in the middle, around 200,000 to 300,000 words. I suggest you persevere. The later part, when the female lead becomes powerful, is very exciting!)
