Unsheathed Chapter -- Discussion

Absolutely sublime. Takes the concept of being a good person in a cruel world and pushes it to the limit... Good people suffer but does it justify someone being evil.... and what actually is just... what do you do when there's no clear answer or when you have to do something that goes against your conscience when someone you care about does evil... can evil people be capable of love... how much cruelty, hypocrisy and bloodshed can be justified when it is for an overall good outcome... do ends justify the means always or must you always think of the bigger picture... how much are you willing to sacrifice for the world when it constantly hurts you... but it does show you ultimate kindness from time to time... how to be a teacher... how to take revenge but not get engrossed in it?

This novel asks many questions... some of which it gives wonderful answers. Some become confusing cause of the writer trying too hard.... but all in all in this age of arrogant, self satisfied MC a genuine Good MC who does have a little bit of hero complex is a breath of fresh air... Side characters are vibrants and some times outshine the MC. Most of the biggest conflicts are actually solved by the said side characters... those who you think is a good guy might have evil intentions. And the most hated persons might be the greatest saint.... being mortal doesn't take away your power to move the world here... there actually one character deep in the novel who is absolutely mortal, climbs up the government rank, does some messed up sh*t but ultimately his such doings are what let's them defend against demons... the mountain god and river god system is good as it let's those meritorious mortal actually get a chance to pursue immortality then just let them rot... there's a lot of hypocrisy but honestly to run any government even the best ones you have to do some dark sh*t sometime

The best part of the novel for me is absolutely the MC and the relationships he makes... specially with his first deciple (happenes a little bit later) who was faced with similar dark circumstances like the MC but grew to hate the world... but gradually it was MC who let her love the world again by creating a world that loves her back... very few fights happen compared to other xianxias but when it happens they are epic. It's a very very slow burn so try to stick with it.

Also Qi Jingchun is the ultimate big bro and A'Liang is the ultimate chad
