Xie Lian sets a trap to catch the bridegroom in the act with the help of two middle heaven junior officials, Fu Yao and Nan Feng. In TGCF, though, it is a massive flashback dump rather than intermittent chapters; both Book 2 and Book 5 are entirely flashback. You have heart this narrow and self centered, you couldn't really grasp onto the messages this novel tried to give. She uses and abandons great characters throughout the series: Yi Rong becomes comedic commentary after acting out his part in book 1 despite being one of the 4 evils, Feng Xin and Mu Qing become increasingly petting/childish after giving them great background story in book 2, the Black Water Demon becomes s*upid and worthless after acting out his ingenious plot in book 3, and every side arc MC collects random children/other pets etc. We learn of 4 ghost kings, in particular Hua Cheng who caused the demise of thirty-three heavenly officials.

There's also very little relationship development since the ML has been devoted to MC for 800 years and the MC is clearly in love with ML within the first 30 chapters.The only difference is, though Xie Lian is also a little shameless sometimes when it comes to his personal actions and decision-making, for me, towards others, he's too. I'm not sure about the updating schedule considering only chapter one has been posted but I don't think the translator, Evangeline, intends to drop this. There was never any misunderstanding with Hua Cheng for the audience, so there's no need to narrate from Xie Lian's perspective.

The characters are complex, multi-dimensional, and often are morally ambiguous, which is delightful because when you think of heavens versus ghosts, it looks black and white like good and evil.Sometimes, Hua Cheng’s behaviour does seem stalkery (but like, there is an actual stalker in the story sooo), but Xie Lian accepts his oddness, and he isn’t obsessive about it, and as you go through the past, you learn why he sticks so close to him. Xie Lian clears his debt and heads once more to the mortal realm with plans to open a temple and gain followers. A manhua adaptation, illustrated by STARember and published by Bilibili, was released on October 19, 2019. Even Qi Rong, who hangs around being a pest for most of the story, just disappears from sight and mind as soon as he's no longer needed narratively. O is that his whole world, his reason for doing anything is Xie Lian - we never get to see how it developed to that point.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. more>> a camp-fire like they're telling ghost stories and not giving major plot points the only extrapolation they ever get.All it did, though, was make me think that XL is a stubborn idiot who could have avoided major disasters if he just listened to people. Like she tried way too hard to the point where it was obvious she wanted to make this "the most romantic CP ever". If you're a fan of fantasy/xuanhuan genre with likeable characters, a good dose of comedy, pure love (or eternal love? He ascended to the Heavens at a young age; however, due to unfortunate circumstances, was quickly banished back to the mortal realm.

After a nearly-lethal run in with a scorpion-tailed snake leaving a merchant and Xie Lian injured, the group and the merchant's guide head to Banyue for an herbal antidote.All of this is because the main couple take up so much of the book, and the rest of the side characters and their character growth is sabotaged for the author's ego so that the main couple can look better and get more screen time. On his first task as a god, he meets a mysterious demon who rules the ghosts and terrifies the Heavens……yet unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this demon king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time. He interacts with Xie Lian only to briefly guide him in his mission, by taking his hand and walking with him through Mount Yujun, simultaneously breaking an enchantment array on the mountain that was preventing Xie Lian from detecting the culprit of the disappearances. 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+.
