She did a fantastic job of building the world and developing the characters. I get the impression she almost fought against the tropes of the genre, n she was determined not to ever make MC crazy OP, which cud be frustrating at times.

Regardless, I think the whole series is dope and I highly recommend it to anyone into cultivation style progression fantasy. Super creative take on how the modern world cud be in the context of wuxia/xanxia immortals.

However, I think the author is making a mistake retiring this one too soon. Still lot of great potential in this series. I know I’m not alone in wanting more. It’s her best series so far, and this is what put her on everybody’s radar …but I get the vibe she doesn’t want to “box herself in” or something so she’s cutting ties n moving on.

Too bad.

The fans want more Ms. Lin, so just remember that if u ever change ur mind … we’ll be here.
