Shrouding the Heavens: Rising Through Card Draws

Fun fact: Chen Dong wrote wuxia novels, because fantasy novels didn't exist back then.

Overall, it's okay, but it's definitely a bit wordy, with too much explanation and elaboration, while the female character acquisition and battles are only briefly mentioned. It feels like the author is a stickler for setting the story, especially since it's a harem novel; they should at least show some interaction with the female characters.

The idea is good, but it's a bit weak. The same thing is repeated over and over again, and presented from different angles. Is the author trying to prepare for graduate school entrance exams?

Moreover, after that petrifying elixir of immortality entered the protagonist's inner world, the Heavenly Will Blade was completely destroyed, potentially leading to his immediate resurrection. However, if he were to regrow, it would likely take a very long time.

It's far too verbose. I only read six chapters, and the actual text only makes up one chapter. The rest is all system introductions, explanations, and settings. These should have been placed in the setting collection before the main text, but the author wrote them as part of the main text. This book is just as verbose as the other "Covering the Sky" fanfic I removed from my bookshelf yesterday.

At least the original work showed some highlights.

And then there's Ye Fan in her female form. Wouldn't that make the guys, after their fun, exclaim, "Ye Fan was really good!" 😁

The idea is alright, but it's too verbose, throwing all sorts of settings at once.

The system is full of lottery-like mechanics, techniques, and other settings. Those familiar with the original trilogy's plot know it all; almost every chapter references the original story. The protagonists or exceptionally talented individuals in the novels all create their own divine skills and paths to enlightenment.

This audiobook is so bland, it's unbearable. I listened for an hour and it felt like the plot didn't advance at all.
