"Infinity Devouring! Activate!"
I kissed her on her forehead and simply said
Nice but sad. Its better if you continue to post in webnovel
Not feeling angry in the slightest, Jacob takes back his outstretched hand and puts his hands behind his head.
Biting into its wrist, a glowing red rope appeared around it. Feeling his mana rapidly draining, the cat grunted in pain.

"Oh, so you were bribed with food, huh?" Quinn muttered before taking lifting his mug to drink.
I decided to take a look at this after having read some of Skeleton Wizard's other works (Tempest of the Stellar War and Battle Frenzy). If you've read any of these other works, it's the same parallel set up with the main character's journey to becoming a legend, the loyal non human helper sidekick, an anonymous alternative identity, working toward making that ideal romance work, great friendships, and a splash of humor. Despite the similar themes, it's a worthy addition to the Tempest trilogy and a good read. Bear through the first few chapters as the world building and the terminology dump is a bit of a turn off but it quickly picks up. Also be aware that unlike Skeleton Wizard's other works, the Starcraft references are not subtle in this one. It's to the point they're actually playing a version of it in the school competitions in between killing Zerg haha.I do have to be critical of two things though. The editing is terrible. I don't mean to be rude, but it really is. Every chapter is riddled with grammatical errors and typos. Clearly better then MTL but it still makes reading unpleasant at times. There's even one chapter early on with editing notes left embedded in the text. They're still there despite being pointed out by readers in the comments and it being half a year later.The second thing would be the stability of the updates. As some other reviews have noted, the pace has dropped considerably and is erratic. I think if you hover over the release rate it's currently averaging 4 chapters a week vs. the scheduled 10 as of the time of this review. Granted, real life stuff happens, but it is something to take note of.I would definitely recommend reading this if you've read any of Skeleton Wizard's other works and can deal with the negatives I've mentioned.

First off, this is not your average, everyday xianxia.Second, if you don't like 'slow' pacing (As deemed by the public due to the fact that he starts cultivation later on, despite the story itself being quite nicely paced), then I recommend that you skip this novel. (Although if you give it a try and find that the progression is indeed, not slow, but, quite fast/ moderate, you'll enjoy it quite a bit.)As a (non) English-expert, I personally have nothing to say and do not meet my self-requirements for critiquing the quality/ update stability.Also, as a (non) English-expert, I don't have any right to critique anything so... Take this for a grain of salt.Story Development: The story development, although perhaps a bit biased (Plot-armour), is beautiful. One thing that contributes to this is how the 'system' of the flower gives tasks that the MC is basically forced to do (Although in reality, the MC figures out what he should do, by which the task then becomes revealed; thus, every 'quest' is partly/ mostly his own thought). Another thing that contributes to this is how the story clearly explains every plot, plan, murder, and so forth.Character design: The MC is shown to be able to think for himself in multiple situations, having to adapt to the schemes of his enemies, make schemes of his own and so forth; It is because of this, that we gain constant insight into how his mind works, ****** the fleshing out of his personality concise.Other characters are (Of course), not as well-fleshed out as the MC; however, we still gain some insight into their personalities.World Building: The one thing that I feel (Kind~of) let the story down.Yes, the story does a fantastic job of the tip -"Show, don't tell"-; however, due to this, some details are skimmed over... It still does a fantastic job however, showing the different levels of officials, the difference in status between different levels of politicians, daoists, royalty and so forth.(To be honest, however, it was just the fact that I HAVE NO IDEA what the worth of a copper tael is :/, sure one gold tael is roughly equivalent to ten silver taels and five to seven silver taels can buy a mu of land (~614.4m^2, just imagine a square 25 by 25), but the worth of a copper tael is never explicitly stated... (Relative to silver/ gold).
