I need to talk about Little Black because THIS DOG is the real protagonist of this story and I will die on this hill. The way Little Black behaved around Lin Yu versus Xie Beishen? That's not a dog, that's a judge. Lin Yu reaches for the basket and the dog bares its teeth. Xie Beishen gets a soft woof and a gentle push of the basket. Lin Yu literally says 'this dog's practically become a spirit' and he's not wrong. The dog has better character assessment skills than half the humans in this novel. But let's talk about Xie Beishen himself. This guy is quietly, effortlessly winning. He receives a lunchbox of spicy fish from Su Wanwan, reads her note with the flowing handwriting, and his response isn't to gush or make a scene—he just carefully folds the note and slips it into his pocket. Then he puts malted milk powder and candy in the basket for the return delivery. He even remembered to tell Lin Yu to cook extra for the dog. This is a man who notices details and acts on them without making it a big deal. Meanwhile Su Wanwan is out here using a dog as a delivery service because she's smart enough to know her second brother would ask too many questions. The fact that she negotiated with Little Black using spring water as payment? That's resourcefulness. That's strategy. That's the kind of thinking that keeps you alive in this world. And the family dynamics between Su Wanwan and Su Heng? They're genuinely good. He's her ally, she trusts him with the plan, they work as a team against their grandfather. When Su Heng found those sacks of grain and started throwing them down, Su Wanwan used the distraction to sweep the kitchen clean. That's sibling synergy right there. But honestly? The most interesting relationship shift is Su Wanwan's. She went from being the 'obedient daughter' that everyone underestimated to someone who can look a corrupt grandfather in the eye and say 'I'll make sure the whole village sees how black-hearted your family really is.' That's not just growth, that's a complete personality overhaul.
The novel... it's alright. Potentially, it holds great promise as a captivating story in the distant future, where the protagonist becomes an unrivaled cultivator among mortal beings. However, there are a few concerns.
Firstly, if the narrative were to revolve solely around a modern-day setting with Great Xia, Cherry Blossom Country, and Eagle Nation, it would likely fall flat and lose its appeal. I hope the author explores alternative avenues of technological advancement rather than staying within these confines. I'm rooting for that.
Secondly, the protagonist's character development needs a significant overhaul. Currently, he comes across as somewhat of a underachiever – not in a cowardly sense, but more as a weak-willed and slow-minded individual. His daily cultivation routine is lackluster, and he lacks interest in diversifying his skills like alchemy or blacksmithing. Additionally, his preoccupation with sexuality feels excessive, with the character frequently expressing his preference for prostitutes over genuine relationships, which detracts from the narrative.
Truth be told, a darker turn in the plot, where the protagonist gains a profound understanding of mortality and distances himself emotionally from others, watching from the sidelines, would make for a compelling read. Unfortunately, I doubt such a trajectory is likely.
Lastly, while the translation is decent, it's not exceptional. There are no glaring flaws that would warrant a deduction in quality. Overall, it's an average read, with potential for improvement in certain aspects.
