What is the price of a smile?

Is it relationships?

Is it power?

Is it money?

For Alvain Keeper, an inn keeper living on top of a flying whale, it is the latter. Life is hard and boring, but money would change that. With enough wealth, one could buy protection from monsters. One could buy political power. One could buy the adoration of others. One could buy life itself.

But what then, was the price of a smile for a girl who had all that?

During unending summer days, a past is lost and a future is found.

Heavily underrated.I have read all of IET's works and as of the chapter 432 this book is on par with the likes of Desolate Era or better in some aspects. You can definitely see that IET has improved in his writing quality, lots of times I find myself skipping chapters of long Chinese novels like these simply due to boredom as many chapters that these authors put out are simply filling. But I must say, I did not skip a single chap while reading up until this point. The whole story from arch to arch was seamless and I kept wanting to read more and more. I have not felt this way while reading a Chinese novel (Xuanhuan, Xianxia and Wuxia) in a long time (since many of my first reads of some of the best like ISSTH and such). I didn't say much about the book as I don't want to give any spoilers but the cultivation and world background is really great. At the beginning it seems small and you wonder is this really an IET novel? But then everything gradually expands.Many people are attacking this for being boring and so on but most of the people making these reviews are people who probably say MGA is the best novel out there. So don't be discouraged and definitely try this out.

This story defies the heavens with its humor. I seriously have laughed in real life more times than I can count while reading this. A very lighthearted cultivation story, with a shameless MC, a shameless master, a righteous sect that is actually righteous. It's all awesome, I cannot recommend this enough to those who like humorous stories.

Personally, I find this novel a really fun read but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. The author goes into a lot of detail about just about everything, especially with regards to the D&D type leveling system which some readers may find tedious. On the other hand it has an interesting main character who doesn’t always use having played the game before to solve all his problems and instead has to make plans ahead of time to succeed, an interesting world and story reminiscent of Night Ranger, and some cool side characters to flesh things out. I suggest giving it a try!
