The first book in a series is a bit underwhelming as MC starts at the very bottom. But even here you can see his determination and flexibility. The story only gets better with every book (10 so far).

I love the progression, the story, the magic system, world development, character depth and interaction.

There are no lengthy info dumps or out of character explanations. Fight scenes are fast paced and interesting, in fact fights stand out over any other wuxia book I have read.

Thanks Will, I can’t wait for whatever comes after “The Reaper”
