I still liked the sweet moments, but the OTT was a bit of a turnoff and there was a lack of any tension or stakes. 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).

If you want to see all the reasons why he's a poorly written character, check out this reddit post: https://www. But this author always has an interesting slant in her novels (hence 3 stars even though reading it was pulling teeth).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. If you're a fan of fantasy/xuanhuan genre with likeable characters, a good dose of comedy, pure love (or eternal love?

The main line will follow adventures of MC and ML on solving, what it seems, unrelated cases, which eventually leads them to a greater mystery. This epic historical fantasy about a prince and the mysterious man by his side is now officially in English, for the very first time! If you're acquainted with her previous novels you may notice common traits and those include ghost/scary stories. 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!Much like other readers who gave the novel 1 to 4 stars, I went into Heaven Official's Blessing expecting — wanting, even — to love it. I thought it was cool how sometimes "doing the right thing" is never clear, or how you can try your best, and still f*cking f*ck everything up. One moment I'm screaming my sister to insanity from the fluff, and the next I'm curled up in my bed sobbing my eyes away.

Accompanying him is a Ghost King (who, like is the natural enemy of the heavens), Hua Cheng with a fearsome reputation, but to Xie Lian he is the gentlest and most devoted; yes, it is a romance between the two of them. There's also very little relationship development since the ML has been devoted to MC for 800 years and the MC is clearly in love with ML within the first 30 chapters. A lot of what happens in the flashback is directly Xie Lian's fault, but the book never seems to register it?

And when the author can't find a way to force him into an event, the reader doesn't get to experience that event. The male lead is okay, typical almost, if I get past the fact that he waited 800 years for his loved one while making statues of him, he is indeed likeable when he talks with our MC. On his first task as a god, he meets a mysterious demon who rules the ghosts and terrifies the Heavens. I'm not sure about the updating schedule considering only chapter one has been posted but I don't think the translator, Evangeline, intends to drop this.

The whole atmosphere of the place made me think like I was in a horror movie and I had a wild mu*derer chasing after me. He could've been such a great character, a ghost king who rules over hell and is morally grey, but instead he is dumbed down to a Xie Lian fanboy. Their stories in what the Water brother did for his younger brother to protect him from having a horrible fate and the way that he died doing pretty much what the Xie Lain was trying to do but succeeded in where XL failed, was honestly the most badass thing. After the former State Preceptor of Banyue was brought up, the two men along with Fu Yao and Nan Feng travel to Banyue. At this point the conflict becomes trivial to the point where I'm just asking "why are we solving this mystery anyways when HC can just blast it into oblivion?
