I haven't read much Chinese Manhua in the past, but if they all have such linear story telling coupled with Godly art then i would love to pay from my pocket if they were to be translated

i was blown away by this manga's epicness, it has a mix of every genre you can think of and the execution is Brilliant...the story of Weak-Strong ain't told in the same way like those Shonen Cliche mangas where they are Wimpy and weak but instead we have a strong level-headed guy who keeps upgrading with each passing arc and with meaningful powerups not your WTF how did he get it kinda thing

Overall it has a Great story + Fantastic Pacing + Subtle Romance (No Harem Yay) + Epic fights + Beastly Art + Well-rounded Characters = Feng Shen Ji

Don't miss out on this one folks...

This is not a common compliment that i give to manga - which i read quite heck lot of. Feng shen ji (series) is without a doubt the best manga I have ever read, not "one of the best - which would be the manga tier of tower of god, berserk, and such epics. FSJ I would be in my mind among one of the best - it has absolutely stunning plot, characters, and art - but the true emotional resonance, for me, starts near the end of the first part (FSJ I) and really develops in FSJ II when everything comes together and they invade the land of gods. A pity that it is still untranslated for non-chinese readers! It is an absolutely human work of art that would probably stick with me for my life.

To really get into this manhua though, you would have to be pretty familiar (or at least not discouraged) by the way martial arts and internal energy (qi) is portrayed in many martial art epics especially among popular oldies like ones by the author jin yong. The dramatic style of action and "overpoweredness" draws heavy influence from that type of portrayal, except enhanced to a whole other level of glory with the fantastical possibilities that the manhua world can give to a series like this.

I honestly cannot say anything bad about this manhua. It captivated me from the very beginning and has been getting better ever since, if it is even possible.

Besides how believable these characters can be and how heart wrenching their stories are, I would like to note the cruelty of the bad guys in the series. They are not just physically cruel as you see in many series, but psychologically so - yet when you hear of their stories (far from half assed), you can't help but feel bad for them as well. It's really hard to see who you're rooting for and development is far from predictable. The line between good and evil is also very thin in this series - not all humans are good, not all gods are bad - even the ultimate baddie may have had a soft side.

Hmm...
I'm not good with review stuffs, so, please bear with it...^^
[if you got anything negative to say against it, just say it, I'm not that smart, so, I won't mind...^^]

so, It's overall a great Manhwa...
CooL drawing, Funny, Damn Epic, Awesome Protagonist...
nothing more to say, Other's already did some Awesome reviews...

well, what Akiradesu said isn't totally wrong either...
Feng Shen Ji is on my Reading List...
And It's really not “Masterpiece” Compared to some other once there...

but, The Thing is you give it 10 means it's your thing...
you give it 1 it's not your type (of liking)...
everybody has their own different point of view...

So...Emmmmm...
It's 9/10 For Me (by today)... ^_~

I just stumbled on this the other day, was a fantastic read. If you like action/adventure/fantasy it will be hard not to love. The chapters are long as well so its a bit longer read then it appears on the surface.

Chinese manga in color and such beautiful shading. I am sold. It's awesome. The action scenes are cool and the scale of battles is epic.

IDK why some people don't like it though.

Caught up to the latest release within a few days, and I can't hold back the anticipation for the next one.

The artwork and story thus far are both god tier.

Thank you Easy Going Scans for getting the releases out!

@akiradesu
I agree with you. Feng Shen Ji is not a masterpiece.

In my understanding, we only slap the masterpiece title on something that redefine art itself. And Feng Shen Ji does not redefine the art of storytelling.

It actually just a good series. With a good art, decent plot and surprisingly deep character development.

The truth is, there's a lot overrated manga out there. But Feng Shen Ji is not one of them.

Mahalo.

This is so epic, and the fact that it is a manhua is even more surprising. Usually I find manhua works lack the pacing and the emotional depth that certain manga may have, but this is certainly not the case here. Great characters, very interesting story, and epic read overall. The beautiful color art is just an added bonus

The author has an amazing idea! In the original novel, Shang Emperor offended the Mother Goddess, was seduced by the evil fox and phoenix sent by her, committed many crimes and was eventually killed.

In this manhua, the reserve is true. Shang Emperor was a fine man, he stopped slaves from suffering by stop offering God sacrifices. God chose the next subject, Zhou emperor, who waged a war, to win domination over the Middle Kingdom. Shang Emperor's death is inevitable, yet he pressed on ...
