Just finished Evil Weapon's Self-Cultivation and I ... didn't like it much. First Cyan Wings novel I've really been disappointed by. The MC is just too perfect, he's not interesting to read about, and while I get that "look at this OP hero put everyone in their place" might appeal to some it does not appeal to me at least not after the fourth or fifth time. The MC has an idealistic streak that reminded me of the MC from They All Say I Met a Ghost but imo, it worked in Ghost because the MC was wrong about ... well, the central premise of the novel. He wasn't infallible. Unlike our ancient sword Yan Changge.

Well, I did get a kick out of the swordfucking jokes so at least there was that!

I think I will read v2 of Thousand Autumns next since that needs to go back to the library.

That's disappointing, but I suppose it's hard find an author whose every work is something that works.

Enjoy Thousand Autumns v. 2!
