The way Fu Wenxiu handled the job request was brutal but fair. He asked actual professional questions and when Fu Jiamu fumbled the answers he didn't let his dad just hand him a position. That's good writing because it shows he's not letting family ties mess up his company standards. But it was also lowkey hilarious to watch Fu Jiamu get his ego checked.
The cliffhangers at the end of each section have me wanting to read more immediately. From the death threat to the lock to the tiger, each chapter ends with a hook that makes you turn the page. It's classic serial fiction pacing done right.
I appreciate the detail about the camp axe being designed for destruction. The American stereotype is funny and fits the tone. But the whole “I’ll use it for firewood” joke feels forced. He clearly wants to kill something. The way he’s so eager to test it on a monster after buying it contrasts sharply with his initial fear of the hooded man. Character consistency is a bit janky.
The secondary characters are nonexistent so far. It’s just the cat and the system. I’m missing interactions with other beings, even if they’re enemies. The lone wolf vibe is fine for now, but I hope he meets allies or rivals soon to spice up conversations.
30. Overall, this is a solid start to a post-apocalyptic cultivation story with a dark heroine. It sets up mystery, action, and a unique power system. The translation has some quirks but doesn’t ruin the experience. I’m invested in Wu Sisi’s journey and want to see how she uses her weird talent. Would recommend to fans of ruthless protagonists and strange awakenings.
