    Personally, I think this story is quite good. Compared to most formulaic fantasy novels, this one is very appealing to me. First, the female lead's character is a corpse-driver. Many other fantasy novels either feature a female lead who is reborn or a powerful figure in the cultivation world. (Of course, I'm not saying those kinds of stories are bad; some are good, but many follow the same formula, which can get a bit tiresome.) Second, I think the plot is quite original, and the writing is also quite delicate. It's good! You won't regret reading it. The only downside is that I started reading too early and have to wait until it's finished.
