I swear, this might as well be a chinese comic and no one would notice the diff. Always the same abused tropes of r*tarded or evil relatives. "I wonder why huyng nim is angry". 40 IQ tops, like in most xianxia. Make everyone dumb, so that when the mc turns the handle, everyone praises him for being a genius.

It is but it follows the decent ones structure. Good art, passable story, the mc IS NOT A FUCKING CHILD, no idiotic in your face comedy and the side characters so far actually seem competent and not only caricatures.

The MC not being a child is a plus, but we already experienced all the "you're trash" trope, it's just that here ppl after the Mc smacks them a bit they recognize being wrng instead of saying "trash" like a broken record. The marriage was cancelled like in your typical xianxia, and tbh, the MC has things way too easy and the pace is absurdly fast. Just my 2 cents.

That's different from Manhua, first is quality art. MC ain't horny yet, so far so good. I hoped that the Females would be introduced later. If it comes to be that Big Boobies girl kidnaped or taken hostage during subjugation, then it's the chinese manhua all over and we can quit.

Oh, big titty onee-san respects the wit of the younger brother. Will she ara-ara him? 😏

Also there seems to have been no engagement between them, just "talks".

true. I don't mid tropes if they make sense in the story. Them thinking he is weak makes sense because in this setting qi deviation is near irreverse and even when done takes time to recover. The marriage being broken off makes sense in the story but how the author uses her as a character is the issue. Like given what we have seen here it seem she still has feelings for him but then where was she all this time while he was in qi deviation. They would have probably never seen each other if the MC didn't enter that body and I feel it's going to be she was now going to marry the cousin...sigh.
I can't say much about easy because we have not really been shown the prowess of the people in this world apart from fodder troops and those guys on the ship who are subordinates. I( like the fast pacing because the painful parts at least move along and the story doesn't dwell on them.
It's mildly good but I am holding my breath because there are signs it could go downhill fast.

@Legion_01 i know we all like to talk trash about those common wuxia tropes (including me) but on the other hand, showing a life in a sect etc. without any of those tropes can be quite hard/boring to write. there are only very few wuxia settings, where the author managed to (nearly) completely avoid those tropes.
