I am writing this not as a review, but as a personal letter to the author.
Dear author,
I want to sincerely thank you for writing such an extraordinary novel. I myself have been regularly reading novels for almost a whole decade and I have gone through thousands of novels. Amongst all of them yours is an amazing piece of work, I was very happy and excited that I found such an incredible novel.once again I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this novel. I hope you continue this amazing journey.
it became really bad in the latest chapters like a chapter from 700+ where the chapter can be easily summarizes to few sentences but the chapter is filled with hundreds of words just to describe it and the story becomes so slow where an arx that can be completed in 5 chapters became 10 because of really long filler words
"Paragon of Sin" is a captivating novel that delves into the complexities of human nature, morality, and the consequences of our choices. The story, set against a backdrop of societal norms and moral dilemmas, explores the dark underbelly of ambition, power, and the fine line between good and evil. Each character is meticulously crafted, revealing their flaws, desires, and the shades of gray that define them.
The protagonist's journey, a man torn between his aspirations and the sinister path they lead him down, serves as a mirror to our own struggles with temptation and self-deception. The novel's themes resonate with readers, encouraging introspection about the nature of sin and the price we pay for our actions. It is a thought-provoking tale that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of life, while also offering moments of unexpected empathy and redemption.
Through its intricate plot and evocative prose, "Paragon of Sin" challenges us to question our own moral compass and forces us to confront the blurred lines between right and wrong. It is a compelling read that leaves a lasting impression, reminding us that even the most seemingly virtuous individuals can harbor profound darkness within. Ultimately, the novel is a testament to the human condition, reminding us that we are all capable of both great heights and depths of depravity, and that the true paragon lies in our capacity for growth and self-reflection.
I’m doing this review as per chapter 22, it’s a little early to write, but this novel is doing great so far, and I think it deserves it. It’s a long review and if you don’t want to read it all here is a summary:
It’s great, without much clichés so far and if had been one, or I haven’t noticed or it hasn’t bothered me, the MC is mature and intelligent, nor too soft nor too hard, but ruthless nonetheless, a little OP, but the good OP, side characters, and enemies have well written personalities and motivations, not the young master type. The story is entertaining right of the bat and is a really good read 5/5 overall, one of the best originals so far, so go read and enjoy it.
Writing quality:
As I’m not a native speaker I can’t say for sure that there are no mistakes, but as of now, to me, the grammar, style and sentence structure is great, no glaring mistakes that take you out of immersion and wants to make you hit your head on the screen, in fact I haven’t seen any mistakes at all. And as the author is already pretty experienced, I don’t think it will have.
(5,5)
Story development:
So far, it’s really good, the pace is good, not to fast that you don’t know what’s happening nor to slow that it becomes a chore to read, nice and steady, as the MC is already older we do get some flashbacks, but they are really minor so far and well put, as they do not take you out of the main story, just enhance it instead.
(5,5)
Character Design:
Just awesome, the MC is great, mature, intelligent, and I mean he seems intelligent by real world measures, not by normalizing the entire world population IQ to -30 so that everybody says that he is The God of Cunningness and Machinations, which so far we haven’t seen much from the MC, but he is good in seen through them, anyway he is a “good”, he is not soft nor a pushover, he is apparently ruthless, but knows when to act, and does great with the girls hahaha, so far the best part of the novel imo.
About the side characters, they are great, really well put together, with realistic views and distinct personalities, the antagonists we have seen so far are well built with reasonable power and ambition, not one face slapping, “you are just trash”, type of young master, which is great.
No apparent romantic interest so far, the novel is tagged as Harem, I’m not really a fan, but I’ll trust the author as he has done a great job in the romance of his last novel, and as far as I’m concerned if the women that makes the harem, continue the trend of the other characters, personality and development wise, it won’t be a problem, so…
(5/5)
World building:
So far not too much has been said about the world in general, we know it is a xianxia like world, with sects clans, cultivation and immortality, but that’s basically it, but to be clear it’s not without its own originality, I’ve read tens of cultivation novels so far, but this one has something interesting that I can’t actually put into words it’s just different and entertaining, the author does a great job of showing just what is needed, us readers don’t get confused with lack of really important details nor get so info dumped that gets our heads spinning, it’s great and it shows that the author has really developed his writing quality compared to his last novel, which had a problem with too much information being thrown at us, so far so good however.
(5,5)
Update stability:
Now this is where it gets a little trickier, in the beginning of his last novel, his updates wore insane, like 2 to 4 well written chapters every day, latter it stabilized at 2 per day, than one, than nothing for a long while, I know he had some personal problems and it’s fine, but it was probably that he had also burnt himself out of steam due to writing at his insane initial pace, recently he has been writing again and so far, has been keeping his promises of the schedule and kept it modest, and with clear goals, like writing X chapters till the end of the month and so forth, I know he is doing this to get some momentum, and hopefully a healthy one.
So, summarizing nothing conclusive can be said about updates, but I’ll give a vote of confidence by what I’ve seen so far in this novel.

Well, that was long, thanks if you have read it all and thanks if you haven’t, and remember this is nothing but my opinion of the novel so far (chapter 22, I will update this on the comments or write another review if my opinion change as the novel develops) , you can have yours and we can discuss it like civilized people we were supposed to be if you disagree. That’s it, bye hahaha
Deserves top-3 of cultivation novels of all time. I am at the 290 chapter right now and can tell you that the quality of the novel is not losing any bit so far. This story is very original, world is very vast, while characters don't follow any cliche script and are well developed. I hope that the author will keep up with his great work and we will get this novel at the top[img=recommend]
ch-515
I'll just write my complain because everything else about this novel is perfect and unique .
There is no Romance . To me it feels like there are no real feelings b/w MC and his harem .
It feels like Each and every girl is with him b/c of resources and safety he can provide them to make them powerful and he is keeping them b/c of their beauty. There is no real feelings involved . It feels more like arranged relationship than love relationship. MC seems more like some rich young master spending resources on girls and using their body in return .
It may be because of lack of interaction between MC and his girls . There is practically no interaction or relationship building between them . The whole interaction between MC and some girls is defined in one paragraph .The way this story is building it seems to be a long novel , so it wont hurt if author spends some chapters on relationship building .
AND more importantly the girls which truly care about MC(Su mei , Quing Quimu) are not in his harem at this point , I hope they will be in future .
Well leaving Romance aside , this novel is the best novel i have read till date . Hoping for faster updates .
the plot was good. but clearly the author writes to fill the daily word count ( i.e money) not for the quality the story doesn't even progress for hundreds of chapters. focusing on things that holds no relevance to the core story. really disappointing
the author tries to focus so much in the explanation of cultivation that it becomes annoying at times. the cultivation levels are messy and all over the places
