The story is very confusing, I find it a really interesting world, filled with interesting lore, it's a real pity that almost none of it is explained, there are lots of weird things happening and some are mildly explained while some are rushed and not given a second thought. This is one of those stories where I think it should be read as a novel, I don't know if there is a novel of it but the manhua is too concerned about the action that it doesn't bother with the actual world and lore building.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, is mentioned repeatedly in the story, maybe the reason were so little is explained is because that book (Classic of Mountains and Seas) is common knowledge in Chinese culture, sort of how Greek mythology is imbibed into occidental culture. Thus, much of it might be understated for its intended public (China) but I can't make head or tales of it? Can't say since I haven't read that book.
As it stands, I find the story and world interesting, the MC is smart and funny and lazy and is entertaining to read about but the general lack of sense makes it hard to completely enjoy the story, it's one of those stories one reads and ignores all the incongruous things happening in the hope that at some point they start making sense.
If anyone knows there is a novel and if it's being translated, I'd appreciate the link, I did search but found nothing, thou they often have so many names that there might be one out there.
