About this deal

There were a lot of low points for him, and a great fall from being a Crown Prince who was considered the darling of the heavens, and moments where he suffered abject humiliation and betrayal in the past. In this final book (Volume 8), read the conclusion to this epic historical fantasy about a prince and the mysterious man by his side, in English for the very first time.

And even though I thought the Wind Master was annoying at first, he eventually grew on me and every time he showed up I was honestly wishing this story was about him and his brother instead. yet unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this demon king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time. The aesthetics went so overboard with butterflies and flowers as romantic themes, thousands of lanterns, the red string of fate (which didn't even do anything in the actual story), poetry, etc. There's something The Founder of Diabolism got very right, and that is the chemistry and backstory between its two main characters.

Some relationships are bittersweet, but it's never one-direction, everything is moving and changing with the point of going somewhere. 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. This story is about pure devotion, unconditional dedication and love -over a period of 800 years- = thanks to our ML; Hua Cheng.

The reason that HC started loving XL is literally because Xie Lian saved him once as a child and therefore he will devote his entire life to XL, not caring about literally anything else.If you're a fan of fantasy/xuanhuan genre with likeable characters, a good dose of comedy, pure love (or eternal love? Xie Lian's naivete was compounded by a frustrating tendency towards self-righteousness and bullheaded stubbornness that brought about his ruin and also made the flashback portions really not fun. you wanna kill people but then someone gives you a bamboo hat and you're all sunshine and rainbows again? Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. This xianxia fantasy tale built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world.

I tried really hard to like it but it felt like I was forcing myself to read it and that is never a good sign. 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. When you finish the novel you realize that it's not simply love, it's devotion, it's where the story actually begins. In TGCF, though, it is a massive flashback dump rather than intermittent chapters; both Book 2 and Book 5 are entirely flashback. Why isn't there a rule about gods being friends with ghosts if their jobs are to eliminate dangerous ghosts?He's barely helped anyone at all, and those times he did help people are quickly followed by flirting with the ML and forgetting all about the people he was supposed to help. This epic historical fantasy about a prince and the mysterious man by his side is now officially in English, for the very first time! I'll edit this review once more chapters are released, both raws and tl'd lol - one star ratings off the bat for any novel drives me up the wall a bit, especially for a novel with so much potential! And the worst thing about it was that HC pretty much validated his flawed thinking by saying that XL should continue to do whatever he wanted because he was right. I would honestly like him more if MXTX made him something like a socially awkward character; it would feel much more dimensional and make room for humour too (side note: imagine if his hand was trembling during the ghost groom scene?

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. MC and ML's romance was by far the weakest link for me, as every development between them was completely lacking in any sort of tension. It felt like MXTX was constantly trying to one-up MDZS in angst, drama, and romance, but at the same time it felt like she didn't know what to do with the characters and world, and therefore fed us fan service and took the easy way out. I thought it was cool how sometimes "doing the right thing" is never clear, or how you can try your best, and still f*cking f*ck everything up.Setting on a journey of a not so simple task to find new devotees for MC we dive into solving mysteries of the present with . There were also some tropes used more than once for different characters and the repetition felt less like foreshadowing and more like, well, recycling. Not to mention that the characters betray each other every 5 minutes; you can't trust anyone unless they. And it really doesn't make sense how HC who is the Ghost King and natural enemy of the gods could walk around and hang out with XL without any problems from the other gods. 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.
