Hi, have the following comments and hence dropping it as it is different than what I initially thought. 1. The MC is shown has smart and cautious character, but he is anything but that. In fact many times, he just acts like a madman and then tries to justify the action through some reasoning. Maybe the author intends it to be this way, but this is not my cup of tea. For instance, he goes way back to the capital to save his friend from people with too high cultivation, when he could have intercepted and saved him whilst he was escorted to the capital. And in the end, the friend dies. .2. The MC is shown to be smart, learned and talented with amazing comprehension. But when he wants to unlock a storage ring which is usually through sense/qi/blood, he goes to a competitor and owes him a favour for telling him to use blood to open the ring. 3. The brotherhood of the MC and dog is very forced. Usually the development of such bond between the characters should be smooth and felt by the readers, but here the author just keeps on harping about friendship every other paragraph for many chapters to come.
