MC on the surface seems like a soft, innocent angel, but in reality that's all because he's been worn down by 800 years of struggling to climb his way out of the mud.
I personally really like both the MC and the ML's characters and personalities. The reasons for the ML's devotion start out opaque, but the more of their past interactions you see, the more it's understandable culminating in that flashback where he says 'I still have a beloved person in this world' and the ML's previous skittishness all makes sense. His acceptance and resignation to his current state of life is something that hurts both me and the ML.Īs the translation is currently up to chapter 5, the ML has yet to appear, but the ML's characterisation is still very interesting: beginning with the impression of that suave all-knowing, all-powerful seme, to gradually unveiling his insecurities and his reasons for struggling so hard to become powerful. more> The MC's past is hinted at and slowly unfolds in a series of emotionally devastating flashbacks, revealing his tremulous fall from grace: from his position of coddled crown prince beloved by all, to being able to pick food off the ground and eat it without a care. Probably because the plot and characters hit a lot of the tropes that I like, reading this story was a very enjoyable experience for me. As I've read the whole novel, and not read to halfway and skipped to the last chapter, I think my grasp on the novel's characterisation and plot is fairly solid. The five stars is purely based on the english translation thus far, and not on the original chinese novel that should be reviewed on jjwcx instead, as the quality of the writing and translation is evident.
