Superb worldbuilding and strong plot, but the character development is quite bad.The side characters are basically sheeps who can't think on their own. This is extremely visible especially in the earlier chapters. And even up until 100+ chapters, most of what the side characters do don't even make sense. They're just like those sidekicks whose purpose and actions are only centered along the MC in superhero novels. MC is a total mary sue, which is funny considering how bad she was treated in her previous life. Overall the characters are very 2D and non-humanlike.But the plot though, it's really good that it takes away all those lacking elements. If you're a fan of xianxia, you'd love this. The intricate fantasy setting alongside with adventure-like arcs is the main focus of this novel. And the worldbuilding is just plainly amazing. Seriously, this is one of the few xianxia novels that has minimal plotholes with intricate worldbuilding elements.The one thing that's bothering me is how the author struggled with writing technique. Xianxia novels are never easy to follow since it usually have a fantasy world setting, but here the author didn't give enough explanations for some key elements that'd make the readers confused. The writing is a bit hard to follow because of those unexplored ideas that kept jumping around.You want some romance? Meh, don't expect much of it.
