I will give it a five as a novel and the author’s sake, but if I was to rate it as a trial read it would be much lower. Novel seems like it’s in for the long haul, thousands of chapters even. It’s well written, but I can’t see Qidian not dropping this 500 chapters in to work on a new project. Simply, I don’t trust Qidian, nor myself to want to support this novel in a year.
