    This is a rare story in the urban fantasy genre that "understands Taoist principles." It avoids the clichéd plot devices of typical wish-fulfillment novels and instead contains many core elements of orthodox cultivation. The writing is delicate, the plot is tight and suspenseful, and the protagonist's understanding of the "Tao" during his process of subduing demons and upholding the Tao is movingly written. After reading it, you can't help but feel more awe and reflection on Taoist culture.
