Its an amazing wuxia that is pretty well paced

Reviewed: 11-14-23

To start, I really enjoyed the narration. I always love when narrators use subtle shifts in speech to switch characters rather than just using accents and Daniel Thomas May absolutely hits the nail on the head.

For the plot, the story follows mc as he flees from his home and attempts to find a new one. They meet some people get screwed over and some old characters re-appear. All the while mc slowly builds his strength. The plot twist is one I expected but still a pretty awesome one.

All in all, i love it. Stuff isnt over explained nor is it all shoved in your face all at once, there is some world building but not too much. (I fully admit i dislike mc using a meteor hammer as i personally find it a stupid weapon) Combat is well written and the other characters arent idiots, if anything mc is mostly portrayed as ignorant and he never really becomes some all knowing monster and even when it seems like he does Author does a shake up and makes it so things are different.

All in all, a great book and I dont get the hate, I think people are possible expecting a harry potter/western style novel in terms of pacing which this is not. It is thoroughly a wuxia sub-genre (martial arts cultivation) and a slightly happier one at that.
