Not what I was expecting honestly, but seems to be very well done and has that rare quality where some actual thought seems to be put in by the author.
Author: 极西行者
Status: 308 Chapters and Ongoing
I read the first 25 chapters months back on Qidian and liked it but put it aside since I was mainly looking for Sci-fi. My note was that it was decent, similar to Farue's review, so I might get back it someday when in the mood to read more fantasy novels. Rated 4 stars since I've only vague memories that it was interesting.
Suddenly, 'blood' relatives are put on this pedestal, while the genuinely interesting 'non-blood' relationships are left in the dust. The main character's sudden favoritism towards 'blood' kin is both frustrating and off-putting. It's like the author forgot how to create meaningful connections beyond some arbitrary genetic link.
What's worse is how this skewed perspective bleeds into the MC's actions. If you're not part of the 'blood' club, you're automatically relegated to the role of an outsider. Loyalty and support from non-blood companions are met with mistrust and scheming, which is incredibly jarring and makes it difficult to invest in the characters.
The first 120 or so chapters were tolerable, but then the author went full-throttle on this 'blood' fixation, and it felt like a slap in the face for readers who were hoping for a more nuanced and inclusive narrative. It's a shame when an otherwise potentially enjoyable novel gets overshadowed by such regressive themes.
