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

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

Wonderful synopsis

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.
