At 12 chapters it is much too early to judge this novel, but so far it seems to be pretty good. Similar to another of the author's novels, Talisman Emperor, it starts off with an abandoned MC becoming a rune master who's really good at the basics but not much else. I just really, really hope it does not do what Talisman Emperor did and toss aside the rune making as soon as the MC gets a bit of power. We shall see.
Who am I kidding? We all know that's exactly what is going to happen. Anyway, one way or the other, I'll update this review a bit further in.
Edit as of ch287 (no spoilers): I've been putting off this update as I feel my original review still holds. I hated Talisman Emperor due to how its unique and interesting premise (talisman crafting) was quickly thrown away in favor of repetitive cookie-cutter fights. Greatly tempering my expectations after that experience, I was not as disappointed when this one did the exact same thing. If fights get one whole chapter and jade beauty descriptions get 2, the tattoo (rune) creation gets 1 or maybe 2 sentences if it's really heaved defying. I think there might have even been an entire paragraph once.
If you love verbose descriptions of battles and hate crafting then you'll love this novel. Otherwise, not so much.
Edit again: What? Editing a review deletes all votes and bumps it to the bottom of the list? Really? Looks like I will not be making any more edits.
