How would I quickly describe Sage Monarch? "All killer, no filler!"
While there is some repetition in the novel, with regards to just repeating things at certain points, Deathblade has done an incredible job in cutting all that down. And, as you would expect from DB, the translation is a cut above.
There is absolutely no messing around in this novel. Goals are set, focused on and eventually achieved. Our MC, Yang Qi, is as much your typical main character as he is a breath of fresh air. He takes absolutely no nonsense and even calls out some typical tropes in the process. On the subject of tropes, this novel was written in a time where most of the tropes we know today weren't really as widespread as they currently, if they existed at all. So there are tropes within, but I've felt that after over 700 chapters, they've worked fairly well within the story.
The story itself is a vastly overarching one. The kind where things at the beginning of the novels have meaning for a very long time, even if it isn't apparent to start with. There are points I expect will last until the end of the novel. It does an incredible job of keeping me guessing from chapter to chapter.
Cultivation is fast and rewarding, at least for Yang Qi. There are plenty of cultivation stages to achieve, so there is always the next one to strive for. The novel is full of hype moments, comedy, items to collect, unexpected types of character for this type of novel (seriously, you'll see) and antagonists you can't help but loathe.
I would absolutely recommend giving this novel a shot. I'm almost 800 chapters in at the point of writing this and currently thinking of upgrading my sponsorship. I. Just. Need. More!
