I Picked Up the Supreme Venerable Sovereign's T*ash Can

This novel has promise, but it falls short due to its limited length – just 52 chapters. The premise of a woman with a terminal illness seeking to end her life but miraculously surviving thanks to a remnant from the Supreme Venerable Sovereign intrigued me. I particularly enjoyed the unique plot twist where she becomes part of a magical troupe, particularly as a host, especially in the context of the entertainment industry. However, the storyline lost its appeal when it deviated from this path and focused on a variety show. There were missed opportunities to delve deeper into certain aspects, as if the author intended to add more excitement but failed to maintain the intrigue.

I initially hoped for a more profound exploration of her journey as a host, gradually uncovering the world of cultivation. Unfortunately, the narrative turned into a typical entertainment novel, which was a disappointment. Additionally, there was no clear resolution on the relationship between the protagonist and Lu Lanxiao; their connection seemed more hinted at than fully developed. It would have been better if the male lead, a 19-year-old college sophomore, were slightly older, perhaps around 21 or 23, to create a more balanced dynamic.

In summary, while the initial concept was intriguing, the execution and pacing let the story down, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

Wonderful synopsis

I loved the first book and the second one so far is just as great! Can’t wait for more chapters!!
