A novel that isn't an uninspired, banal bore? A rare find on this site. This isn't the most unique/original thing in the world but it does set itself apart from all the other stuff at least when it comes to having some potentially neat ideas.We've only got 20 chapters but I'm actually liking the chemistry our protagonists have with each other which is good because I think this is probably going to the biggest selling points of this novel. It's very early on so we haven't seen all that much interaction between them but I definitely see potential here, I am a sucker for when characters have fun chemistry.The worldbuilding isn't very original but it doesn't seem to be a complete copy paste of anything else either, the story is alright as far as Chinese novels go.My biggest gripe with this series is the generic antagonists and just how predictable they are. This is a kinda faceslappy novel and while it isn't unbearably so I can help but be annoyed every time I have to read whatever generic nonsense the mob/side characters spout out. Despite the significant flaws, I do think that this novel is fairly promising. I think the pros of this novel will substantially outweigh the cons in the long run so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to reading more of this. 2.75/5.
