So well written with a real beauty that shines though the sometimes clumsy translation. This novel is a very different style to many other novels on this site. Romantic, fantasticalm, fascinating characters and a charming whimsical fairy tale quality at times.It is a little slow at times but I haven’t been bored yet. My only frustration at 23% in is the “will he cultivate or not” plot driver. I would actually prefer if he became powerful in other ways but I have a few times found myself wishing this wasn’t being explored so intensively as it has taken over most of the the events for the last many chapters.Still however the author goes (or went as the novel is probably completed) this is probably my favourite so far on the site and though I love the magical Xianxia cultivation novels, cliches and all, I am so glad I found this book!!
