A gem of originality

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0
  • original and interesting characters
  • amazing character design
  • dynamic changes between character relationships
  • all important plotlines were resolved at the end (happy/bittersweet ending)
  • ending left some lingering questions, but the answers wouldn't add to the conclusion much at all so that's fine
  • unpredictable
  • rich backstories
  • decent world building
  • sometimes confusing and the rules for how things do/don't work existed merely for convenience of the plot and didn't seem logical/make sense
  • ML was frustrating in the first 10 or so chapters, but that soundly ended
  • the Big Bad Final Boss was evil for the sake of being evil, pretty shallow
  • art is a solid 10/10

Art = 10/10
Plot = 9/10
Characters = 10/10

I found this purely by randomly clicking through my category recommendations, and it is quite good.

I definitely agree it starts slow and I did end up dropping it for a week or two before committing to reading past chapter 30ish.

Once I did I couldn’t put it down. Good action, quick plot progression, and the characters tie together cleanly and nicely. Nothing out-of-this-world original, but also not generic and I would say it mostly doesn’t rely on any cheap tropes.

Pretty Good

The art is just superb.

One of the good stuff I've read with an original story in these years. Considering that all the recent stuff are all generic sht with no original story and same cliche sht.

The story is pretty decent and the main lead and female lead are kind of interesting and has some good development as the story progresses.

It takes around 30-35+ chapters for the plot to be revealed and get interesting. So u need to be patient and read till there even if you feel demotivated.

Just give it a try, it's definitely worth it.

Really loved how the story ended although I would've loved to see the Sage Realm too.
