This time, the author delves into the cultivation genre, though it stands apart from the typical cultivation stories you might encounter. (As you'd expect from this author)
The story begins in a lighthearted manner, with the main character (MC) and the love interest (ML) founding the smallest and poorest cultivation sect, boasting only two members and a few coins. Each believes they've outsmarted the other in their pursuit of an immortal artifact. Of course, this is just the beginning. The backgrounds of both characters are more intricate than they realize, and their ties to the overarching conspiracy run deeper than they could have imagined.
I found the primary antagonist particularly intriguing (no spoilers here!), especially in how they interact with the other villains.
As is characteristic of Nian Zhong’s work, the characters often exist in a gray moral area (especially the leads) rather than being purely good or evil. There are some incredibly creative horror scenes, intense battles, utterly absurd situations, and plenty of snarky dialogue.
For fans of Nian Zhong, I can't recommend this story strongly enough. It's absolutely fabulous!
