Long review, because it's that good. Divided it up for your convenience.SUMMARY:Yun Yang is Supreme Cloud: the youngest of a group called the Nine Supremes chosen to inherit a particular cultivation method. They use the abilities of earth, fire, water, wind, gold, wood, cloud, thunder and blood to protect their country and its people. However, they are ambushed and slaughtered- Yun Yang is the only survivor thanks to a mystical seed he has carried for years. After a year of healing, he begins to regain his lost abilities and uses them to seek revenge for his fallen brothers- a journey that will bring you both joy and tears as you follow his growth to the pinnacle. REASONS TO READ: -MC is awesome and when I say awesome I mean the guy is a brilliant, fast-tongued schemer who sometimes trips himself up because he is also clueless when it comes to some things. He isn't perfect, never claims to be, and I like him even more for that. - this will emotionally wreck you in the best ways possible. And yet, it isn't "touchy-feely". Striking that balance is well deserving of praise. -none of the characters are flat: even the popinjays have character growth! -romance is slow and well-written as far as I've gotten. His focus is on revenge, not googly-eyes, which is frustrating as hell for the girls who like him, but amusing for readers. -the cultivation system is a nice twist on the usual, especially since it features more than one system for the MC. The cheat system is also novel and doesn't take over the whole story. -ASSASSIN KITTENS REASONS TO AVOID: - If you detest an MC who wipes out the entire family of his enemies. He doesn't do it every time, but yeah. He has been guilty of eradicating an entire household to get to the one man he wants to kill a time or two. At the same time, he has also knowingly and deliberately spared the offspring and families of others, so. - If you detest LONG military chapters when you just want to get back to the MC and his story. They're interesting, I guess, if you're into military actions, but I tended to skim and skip most of the military chapters until the MC showed up. Thankfully in the 572 chapters I've read, I've only had to deal with about... what, 10 chapters of this type of content? So don't let that stop you if you're interested. As I said, skim and skip.
It's a really nice story, nice character development. I hope that the gaming part gets a bit more structure, I would suggest the writer to refer The King's Avatar on writing the gaming side of the story. But I am ready to accept all these little short comings hoping that the writing will get better as the story progresses.To sum it up it's a great work and I recommend everyone to read atleast 30 chapters before dropping this book.
First off I don't like how the synopsis is not even close to the story. I shouldn't be so confused right off the bat because I'm trying to compare the story especially when put in specific details in the synopsis. Once I got that out the way I tried to actually enjoy the read. I feel it can be a funny read if the story wasn't all over the place changing to different character perspectives at the drop of a hat. The author doesn't do a good job of explaining well really anything either so I feel the story is like a giant puzzle I have to put together sometimes. I do like the idea of the story and I feel if it was explained better it would be more enjoyable because it's something original of which you don't see all that often. I'll keep reading tho hoping it improves.
