Im afraid this novel follows in the footsteps of many promising Xianxia novels. From chapter 1-50 it was a truly great start, 9/10, great characters, compelling story, well written. Chapter 51-100 faltered a little, but still a solid 7/10, the fighting scenes were needlessly long and some plot points stretched past any reasonable benefit of the doubt, but the story was still compelling, the pace steady, it was still a worthy novel. After chapter 100, and specifically chapter 128-130 which is one of the dumbest things i have ever read, things start to fall apart, the author starts making huge leaps of logic, characters behave erratically in service of the general direction of the plot over consistency, and the pacing grinds to a halt. This is just another case of an author having a great premise at the start, but once they pass that first prompt and have to start writing multiple new chapters a week without any real plan they just cant keep up the quality of the work. Its a shame.
Four unrelated short stories presented in five chapters.
Story one: Just okay.
Story two: Features a really sweet couple, but an unnecessary stalker character adds nothing to the plot.
Story three: This one spans two chapters! It feels less random compared to the first two. Seigo and Touma's relationship is sweet, awkward, and genuinely enjoyable—I ended up loving this story!
Story four: THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY BL, LOL. The story and characters feel refreshingly unique, with reactions that are true to their personalities. Definitely worth checking out.
RATING: (in order of appearance)
2/5, for being confusing.
3/5, due to the pointless stalker.
5/5, because it was incredibly sweet!
5/5, for an outstanding conclusion.
