When it comes to characterization, plot, setting, and even pacing, this novel does well again. This MC is a heavenly dragon and he has the power to show for it, which means that most scenes where the MC does anything after about the first 1/3 of the novel is, by default, extremely cool. I mean there are tons of stories where the MC is a mythical beast, or a cat, or a hamster, or something, but then for no real good reason they're still pretty weak (animal form is just for cuteness or something) and once they transform into a human you like never see them as an animal again. So the MC is a f*cking dragon, literally, and a badass one. It’s also always intertwined with the plot and not treated as a separate plot. When you talk about slowburn romance you think Golden Stage, HOB, Tattoo, MDZS and even quite frankly Little Mushroom (this is one of my all-time favorite slow burns) There’s substance, subtlety, chemistry, underlying hints of awareness in one another for one another- but the pairing and romance grows with each page and you can see how the couple is forming. The chemistry and relationship was not slowburn, it was pretty much non-existent and rather nonsensical in relation to the ending of the book.įor them to suddenly end up together felt really forced and unnatural. They aren’t memorable at all, but the side characters were cool and very likeable.įor the first time in my history of reading BL, I felt that this book was not suited to be a BL. more> this it felt like I was reading shadows of Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan, but really weak, poorly constructed 1D versions of them.

The novel is well written and well paced and the characters are kinda likeable and interesting but very 2D for being lead characters. It’s on my personal BL review list if you’re interested though.) (I didn’t post my rant in this review as I don’t want my personal opinion on this to affect other readers too much because it is still a great read. Rating: 3.5/5- A good mystery, but the rushed and nonsensical romance at the end prevented this book from being rated higher for me. Really brings the characters to life! Very happy to have come across this novel! <only bummer is chapter updates are sporadic so. I am really enioying the story so far and honestly, the whole set up and plot is actually entertaining enough that I wouldn't even mind if there was no romance. It's only chapter 10, but the story quickly jumped into action and has elements of your typical xianxia novels and the supernatural, which I love. Story: MC is super spunky and hilarious and ML is your quiet, mysterious dude (for now). Still great work though! Will probably read from both translators because I'm a greedy b*tch. IMO, it's a pretty good quality translation -however I do feel it lacks the elegance in wording & still feel Subs is. I saw another person also picked up the novel & I've read a few of their chapters starting from the beginning. Update: my above translation rating is for Subs team. Translation: Omg people, please check out Copper Coins! 10/10 - the translation quality is super top notch (the best translation quality I've seen so far since starting on this Chinese danmei journey just a year ago.).
