Edit:I initially rated this as two stars for my reasons below. But I never stopped reading mostly because I'm already so deep. I just popped back in here to mention that the translator seems to be even better as time goes on. Improvements are obvious. Although I still don't think much of the story, I'd give the translator 5/5 for some quality work.-----It's a very hard read. It starts off fairly interesting and has a strong setting but... Nothing much happens that's clever or fun to read.Probably 80% of the novel is shameless old people bullying the MC and him running for his life and feeling upset about it.He gets a really awesome sword at the beginning and shows cool sword techniques, but his technique gets seemingly forgotten so we can focus on a story of the MC always getting his ass whooped. After about 100 chaps of ass whopping he manages to scrounge together a victory with his endless supply of plot armor and then a new old man or woman shows up to oppress him again.I can't think of a single character of the older generation in this story that I could possibly respect. They are either bullied timid losers or huge jerks that constantly think of oppressing or stealing from others. Just a bunch of shitty or crazy daoists.Basically. The plot is garbage and the characters have nothing good.Ranting aside. The translation seems good and the release rate is awesome. I hope this translator picks up something better when they are done.
