Unparalleled Artist: Unlikely Hero

LV 14

I'm planning to follow this series over from Royal Road. This story was fun to read so far and it's good seeing a different side to Xianxia than is normally focused on. I really like the story progression so far and that the characters have to put thought and effort into their achievements. The gender fluidity aspect is well balanced to me but I think the romance sub-plot and love interest(s) are under developed to the point of feeling extraneous. Also, please no tone deaf or token harem. The world is interesting and attracts my attention but could use more depth to build immersion if you're looking to improve. At this point, it often feels like the characters are overwhelming their environment rather than existing in it (a little touch of the 'conversation in an empty, white room' thing). Overall, I'm this story glad it's seen some recognition and really looking forward to seeing how it continues.

An interesting take on the xuanhuan genre. I like the fact that not every situation is resolved with fists, without denying the inherently violent nature of a cultivation world. Wu Ling is a protagonist that I grew attached to as the story progressed, eager to see how his dichotomy will play out.

This is a solid story; the main impressive aspect is the regularity of updates. The world building is such that when you have a question about something, it is frequently answered in the next couple of chapters. Wu Ling is a complex character. The side characters each have their distinctive elements, and it seems we will be learning more about them.
