if your expecting sword fights and constant battles you've come to the wrong place. There are some, but a majority of the time is taken up with other concerns. Like most BL, the shou MC isn't a sword cultivator at first and has an aversion to violence, which he slowly overcomes. Personally, I find the MC too nice and a little timid at times, while at others he has a bit of a hero complex, always wanting to save people. Those traits are in line with a young man coming from a peaceful nation in the modern world but it's somewhat jarring when your used to the usual ultra violent step-on-everyone protagonist template used in most mainstream cultivation novels.thankfully, despite that timidity (and his white knight syndrome), the MC is likable and while his IQ might not be at genius levels, he has a normal intellect for his age and doesn't act like a child in need of constant rescue and protection. Even in the first 100 chapters there has already been some character growth as the MC learns from his mistakes (i.e. Too trusting) and cultivates to a higher level as he slowly matures. To be honest, I like the ML more for letting the MC make those mistakes and grow up without interfering or trying to coddle him and I hope it doesn't change once they get together.so far I'm enjoying the story well enough, though I plan to stop here and let the translators catch up. For now I'm rating it a 4 and will give it a final rating after the story is finished.
