Description

The MC and ML show up, and instantly the background extras—excuse me I mean side characters, go back into hibernation as the main couple show off how cool and powerful they are. His acceptance and resignation to his current state of life is something that hurts both me and the ML. Together they are just too OP over all the other characters to the point where it becomes condescending and annoying.

It's a theme the author's been getting at since Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, and I think it was even more explicit in this novel. The story is actually like a snowball which gets bigger and bigger, finally creating an avalanche finale. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). I want to end on a more positive note by saying that I have the utmost respect for MXTX and I know that she put a lot of work into tgcf. The main line will follow adventures of MC and ML on solving, what it seems, unrelated cases, which eventually leads them to a greater mystery.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons I was uninterested through most of the book was due to the lack of tension and suspense. Hua Cheng's main flaw was insecurity about his appearance but he's confident and self assured 99% of the time (not to mention, this is a baseless insecurity because he looks fine). Hua Cheng, meanwhile, is a mystery to Xie Lian for quite a bit of the story, because, well no one knows much about him, aside from the stories that made him popular and feared. There's no explanation as to what happened between "please kill me" in a dungeon with the Black Water Demon in ch124 and "life is good" as a beggar in imperial city in ch200+. Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity.

A lot of this novel was very surface level, and it's pretty on paper, but when you think about the characters a bit longer, the more bland and shallow they become. I know MXTX's flashback format in MDZS received varying reviews, but I felt that it was done well, with the past scenes cleverly woven into the present timeline so that the mystery of Wei Wuxian's past and relationship with Lan Wangji was gradually revealed.Much later in his immortal life, after being banished twice by the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, Xie Lian again ascends to the heavens to work as a godly official. It may not have many chapters out yet but just from the spoilers you can tell its going to be an epic story <3. His biggest flaw is supposed to be his insecurity and inferiority complex, but that barely ever comes up and 90% of the time he is arrogant and smug. There were also some tropes used more than once for different characters and the repetition felt less like foreshadowing and more like, well, recycling. Their stories in what the Water brother did for his younger brother to protect him from having a horrible fate and the way that he died doing pretty much what the Xie Lain was trying to do but succeeded in where XL failed, was honestly the most badass thing.

I think the story really stuck to that message well, throughout its various arcs, that just because they are immortal they don’t entirely let go of their human issues. The more you learn about the Xie Lian and, later, Hua Cheng, the more unlikable those two start to become.So kind but everybody excluding our MC thinks he some malicious and sinister demon (in which he some ways is). The first chapter was posted on October 18, 2019 and is currently on-going and updated weekly on Bilibili. Going against the edicts of both the heavenly realm and of fate, Xie Lian involves himself in the affairs of the mortals who have always loved and supported him, hoping to achieve peace and relieve suffering in his kingdom.

If you think that Lan WangJi's (of FOD) love and devotion to Wei Wuxian is admirable enough to categorize as "eternal" and unrivaled, Hua Cheng's devotion to Xie Lian is in a completely whole different level. In classic MXTX style they're both OP as heck, which I personally enjoy, and to no one's surprise ever, MXTX delivers some lovely moments between the two. Eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xian Le kingdom; one who was beloved by his citizens and the darling of the world.

Don't get me wrong, I love that other piece, but (this is my personal opinion) it pales in comparison to this one.

Finally, you gotta watch the donghua (preferably after reading this), because somehow they managed to make them even more romantic? Many mini arcs come and go, and it feels like an episodic anime where you have 'monster/crime of the week' but you just want to find out the main plot.
