FYI I read the mtl of it.Basic description of the novel is cliche Murim novel with some twists and elements of surprise.story- kids seen as talentless, get kicked out from clan, become mercenary and meet this master of martial arts. But there is more to this “master” than what meets the eye. And he regresses, YaY. That basically how the story starts.Pros: the characters are f*cking amazing bro. I haven’t read a story with that many fleshed out characters in a while. All the characters may seem cliche as first but as you keep reading em kids go thru sum character development. Especially characters like Evan and Hector.There a clear goal to the story, so the story development flows pretty nicely. You know that the story’s gonna progress in a consistent way. Ofc sometimes it makes it boring but the story arcs in this novel are actually pretty gud.The character twists go crazy, I ain’t gonna say anything but they are nice with it. And in terms of power-scaling, I have admit my boy a bit too strong but it makes sense ”sometimes”.Consdon’t know if this counts as a con really, I. Just putting it here to fill space. The story is pretty predictable, as I said in the Pros, the story flows in a way, where it’s consistent. But with consistency, it becomes more predictable. There’s still twists and different elements at play here but still you know exactly what’s going to happen at the end (which is most novels soooo ye).the character of MC at the beginning feels a bit conflicting. Like he trained so much under his master and he gained so much knowledge and practice about martial arts. Yet his improvement at the start felt underwhelming. Then he just started improving a lot all of a sudden. Don’t quote me on this since I read this like a bit ago (like a week and a half). Also I have short term memory loss when it comes to the flaws of the novel.Lastly, I don’t know. I read like 3 other novels after this. So don’t remember much. Anyways novel is pretty enjoyable and just give it a try.
