Comments

I believe this is  one of the more popular Wuxia books on Amazon.  I avoided it for a while for personal reasons, most of which were disproven after I read it, so hey, my loss for waiting.

 

There’s a fair amount of confusing bits to this story, but it feels like stuff you’ll understand once you find out more about the world, and so far that’s been correct.  If I had one complaint about the series as a whole, it’s that the author will frequently go off on tangents right when there’s action about to happen.   So the protagonist is traveling along, thinking deep thoughts, and hears a scream.  You will then get 2-3 pages of exposition about his deep thoughts, before you find out who screamed.  I find that annoying, and honestly it only gets worse over the books.  That being said I’ve binged the 4 books, and only interrupted them to read Aether’s Revival 3.  Might go right into book 5, but felt like I needed to get this up before I forgot about it.

Addendum:  He has a proclivity to throw in LitRPG elements to the story, and I really don't think it needs them.  He occasionally dumps the "character sheet" in and that's up to about 4 pages now.  It's to the point I feel like it's page stuffing for the sake of making the book longer.
