Description
The only problem I encountered was the poor english translation I was reading painfully, and also had a hard time distinguishing names. Even if not, the countless plot twists, the strong supporting cast, and of course the stepwise progression of the main couple's romance work together to create a story that I really believe can transcend the language barrier to move any reader's heart. You get to experience his road to adulthood, on what he believed in, what he tried to do, what he achieved and where he failed, how he came in terms with himself. The MC is supposed to be super intelligent, but he literally misses all of the super obvious hints the ML drops at him, which is so weird.
When I first started this novel, I will admit I was intimidated by its size – with 200+ chapters spanning across 5 books, the complete story is quite a lot, obviously, to undertake; it is like reading an omnibus at length. I wanted to see how his love for Xie Lian would affect him, but apparently aside from being his raison d'etre, it seems to have zero effect on his character growth. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I lost interest in the story pretty quickly due to the bland characters and their out of place romance and how unlikable they were.yet unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this demon king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time. more>> MC is an typical hero (similar to WWX) who always tries to do the right thing, but sometimes fails because that's just how life works. It makes some of the reveals feel like they are coming out of left field, because well, how did anyone not know?
At some point, the ignorant MC became annoying and self indulgent instead of cute, and having it be drawn out over nearly 200 chapters makes it even worse. There's no explanation as to what happened between "please kill me" in a dungeon with the Black Water Demon in ch124 and "life is good" as a beggar in imperial city in ch200+. Worse, they seemed to wallow in the misery of Xie Lian's past; chapters dragged on as he experienced every pain imaginable - not so that he developed as a character or in his relationships, but solely to see him brought to his knees. As expected, the author did a great job in establishing a brief background of the MC, giving you an idea what his character is like which aids you in understanding why he do what he does, giving you a preview of how his world works.However, the other 3 books, especially books 1 and 2 had way too much fan service, pointless romance, and plot lines that don't go anywhere and don't contribute to the story. The people destroy his temples, statues, and shrines, abandoning him as their most respected religious figure and earning him the reputation of a God of Misfortune. Some vocal fans have assured me that this is a gorgeous romantic masterpiece that would sweep me away with its emotion and incredible writing, but I find that the obvious flaws detracted too much for this to be . Instead of going after QR and saving the defenseless child, XL turns around and tries to help HC who is a grown-ass man and the Ghost King on top of that!
Rating this a one star is poor judgement on whoever that casted that vote so these five stars is in hopes to counter that. It was first published in 2017 on JJXWC and consists of 244 chapters, plus 4 extra post-canon stories split into 8 additional chapters.
I would honestly like him more if MXTX made him something like a socially awkward character; it would feel much more dimensional and make room for humour too (side note: imagine if his hand was trembling during the ghost groom scene? In classic MXTX style they're both OP as heck, which I personally enjoy, and to no one's surprise ever, MXTX delivers some lovely moments between the two. Aside from the main characters, the story also has a rich cast of secondary characters whose stories form part of the plot – Shi Qingxuan (SQX) is a favorite not just because of how vibrant a personality he is, but also how he makes for such a good friend for Xie Lian.
