Such a strange feeling to see what could have been a great novel be ruined by pseudo-r*pe every few chapters.Every time she encounters a woman they end up almost having s*x until Lily suddenly decides to remember her everlasting love towards senior sister.From the beginning the mythological Japanese setting creates such a poignant atmosphere. So unique and fantastically executed but it pains me so much to see these ridiculous scenarios that completely destroys all immersion.On that point, other than these moments, Lily is actually quite a good character yet it’s simply impossible to appreciate.This may be a bias towards Japanese culture from my part but Lily has one of my favourite set of abilities and most fitting that I’ve seen in a long time. Well this is coming from someone who has read a lot of xianxia/xuanhuan which most of the time does a horrible job at this but that’s besides the point.Basically this is a novel on the verge of being great but it’s very difficult for me to find the greatness when 66% of the novel is a fetish-fest.
