This is the kind of story that scratches an itch that exists only in the mind. It'll take you into a world different from our own. Inspired by many great murim/martial arts novels, it has a lot of aspects you may be familiar with but also new creations + different twists on certain tropes. I recommend this novel to anyone who hopes to see these aspects in a story:
* Revenge
* Starting from the bottom and making it up to the top
* Multiple identities that gain their own reputation in the world which he uses to his advantage
* Interesting side characters who have their own plots, growth, and resolution to their stories
* Useful love interests who don't hold the main character back but instead, grow and get powerful alongside him
This novel is pretty dark so far compared to most but its not done purely out of shock factor. The gore and mention of certain things just come naturally as the story has progressed. I'm curious to learn more about Zero and how MC acquired it
Only on chapter 4 so far but I think it's pretty interesting. Sunyoung has the guts to commit murder but not like some edge-lord. He still feels disgusted doing so but is simply adapting and learning as he goes. Looking forward to this novel's future
World-building is in progress because obviously we're only 5 chapters into the story but so far, it seems like a typical murim world. Sunyoung's story is pretty interesting with his motivations as clear as it can get. I enjoy how the fight scenes have been described. They're not overtly detailed but contain enough information to formulate the flow of them
5/5. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book. Read this book.
More than anything, I'm excited to reach the part of the novel where the excerpt in the synopsis is from. I can already imagine the look on people's faces on both sides when they realize that their ally/enemy is the same person.
