2 I’m curious about the “Temple of Divine Grace” that unlocks after killing 1000 level 5+ mobs. The name sounds like it could be a sanctuary or a training facility. The fact that it requires killing so many mobs suggests it’s high-tier content. I hope it’s not just another troop producer but something that changes the game, like new magic or hero units. The mystery is exciting.
The author's description of physical transformation is visceral. The swollen pustules, the deep red ulcerations, the black pus, the rancid smell. I could almost imagine the stench described. It's disgusting but effective horror writing. The contrast between Zhu Jiajia's original beauty and her current grotesque form makes the horror more tragic. She was literally consumed by the disease.
Lu Qingyue is such a painfully realistic character. The way she only valued Shen Chi when she thought he had an A or S-grade talent, then immediately jumped ship to Xu He the second she heard the rumor about his "useless" E-grade, is infuriatingly accurate. The scene where she came to "reject" him as if he was still pining for her after three years, with that condescending "I'm with Xu He now" speech, made me roll my eyes so hard. Her assumption that all boys should adore her reeks of entitlement.
The pacing in the opening chapters feels right. Not too fast, not draggy. We get a quick recap of the past, her rebirth, and then immediate conflict with Old Madam and the husband’s return. The firecrackers scene at the main gate is a nice touch—celebrating a return that actually brings heartbreak. It’s dramatic but not overdone. I was able to get into the story within the first few pages.
The interaction between Yan Jiuxian and Yan Zhaoming is pure gold. The way Yan Zhaoming worships his Little Uncle but also fears him, and how Yan Jiuxian just ignores his outbursts, that dynamic feels lived-in. Yan Jiuxian’s line “it’s the daughter of the Fu Family, not Fu Qiongshuang” is very suspicious. Does he know something about Fu Ziqi’s identity that we don’t?
