About this deal

When you finish the novel you realize that it's not simply love, it's devotion, it's where the story actually begins. Many mini arcs come and go, and it feels like an episodic anime where you have 'monster/crime of the week' but you just want to find out the main plot. The two have a long discussion about gods and ghosts, before being interrupted by ghosts along the forest path. At some point, the ignorant MC became annoying and self indulgent instead of cute, and having it be drawn out over nearly 200 chapters makes it even worse. When I first started this novel, I will admit I was intimidated by its size – with 200+ chapters spanning across 5 books, the complete story is quite a lot, obviously, to undertake; it is like reading an omnibus at length.

Overall, this novel was a fantastic read and if you can't read the Chinese chapters, english translation is slowing getting there, the wait is so worth it. I won’t be saying much about the interlocking mysteries that expose the secrets of the Heavenly Court, but suffice to say, there is a lot of dirty laundry, and Xie Lian, who has been away from it for 800 years, goes stumbling into it. 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.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.

Together they are just too OP over all the other characters to the point where it becomes condescending and annoying. On one hand, he is super overprotective of XL and wants to make sure he won't get hurt a single bit, but on the other hand, he has this advanced ideology of the 21st century that he believes XL is capable so won't constrain him as much.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. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

Every time the story tried to make me feel bad for the unfortunate MC, I ended up wanting to laugh instead, at best.

I lost interest in the story pretty quickly due to the bland characters and their out of place romance and how unlikable they were. He's so kindhearted that you'd feel the urge to protect him at all cost, but also scold him at the same time. He ascended to the heavens at a young age; however, due to unfortunate circumstances, was quickly banished back to the mortal realm.

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. Instead of going after QR and saving the defenseless child, XL turns around and tries to help HC who is a grown-ass man and the Ghost King on top of that! If anything I think the story should have started out with the flashback and worked with improving XL's character and making him learn from his mistakes. Ling Wen 灵文 (Ling Wen Zhen Jun, 灵文真君) A civil goddess who provides information on assignments through a spiritual communication array.

This follows the story of Xie Lian, our bubbly protagonist, and his adventures after ascending to Heaven for the 3rd time (you've got it rough buddy). Gratitude and admiration can lead to love, but they legitimately only met a few times, so it's bewildering how Hua Cheng liked him for 800 years. But those who rise, can also fall… and fall he does, cast from the Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm.
