This novel is severely underrated, it’s not generic or cliche but it is completely unpredictable. I’ve found myself surprised with the developments a number times and unlike with other novels, I can’t often predict what will happen next. Little details which you originally thought were pretty irrelevant end up weaving together with other plot devices to blow your mind away. The story keeps on getting deeper and deeper, when you think you’ve finally got an idea of what’s happening the author manages to throw a spanner in the works as he dives to another level. Great main character and all side characters have their own backstories and depth. Enemies aren’t stupid and although a lot of characters in chinese novels tend to be small minded, in this novel it’s different. Their opinions can change, they grow as people. The world building is amazing, it evolves with the story and you learn with the main character. The author does a great job of leading you on, when you think you know you just don’t. I’ve stopped at 900 chapters and will be coming back when it’s fully translated. If this novel keeps up the quality and has a good ending it will without a doubt be top 5 novels ever. Only reason I won’t give it first is because other novels shine differently. This is number one for unpredictability, it may be a dull word to describe it with but creating a good story that doesn’t coincide with other stories is a much larger feat than you’d think
