I won't spoil specifi things in the story. Ugh..... This is a "good" story. I say good like that because, while it is good, IET created a terrible plot device in it. I flat out wanted to drop the novel simply because of that. I didn't but the update pace was slow, or I got preoccupied with other things, so I stopped reading. It's no coincidence that as soon as that shift happened in the story, I up and dropped it. That said, the world, concepts of cultivation etc. Were actually great, as someone else said it's an IET novel. So naturally expect actually decent, and not simply padding storylines. The other thing, is to remember it's an IET novel, and the bad parts? Yeah, well there is a really bad part in here. It made no sense whatsoever. Yet, he went through with it, and did it. Most readers are probably aware of what I'm talking about.Out of all the novels I have read from him. This is by far the worse. And, yes, it's from one ****** plot device. In the grand scheme of things it's not bad at all. Even his worse, is still better than 90% of whatever is on here.Something to keep in mind, is that despite my misgivings, I plan on giving all my stones every day. Something I will keep reading, despite my misgivings. Just as how I powered through DE, because it was good. That also had one specific plot device, that absolutely made sure it would never be called a masterpiece. Yet, it is easily in the top 5 novels I have read. Yikes this was long.
