This novel is pretty good!
It has been a long time since I've read a murim novel, about a few years, and this novel has brought back some good memories.
Yes it has some common tropes, classic females, mysterious parent origin story, OP characters appearing randomly, etc etc. But it's still pretty great, it gives me this nostalgic feeling of reading a classic.
However, despite using the tropes, the author doesn't shy away from changing things that spice up the story.
I also really like the concept of the painting, it builds mystery from the get go. It also gives the reader an idea of the power level and background of this world, and what the mc needs to aspire to be.
And I'm not saying that the tropes are bad, they're great. Indeed tropes are prevalent for a reason, and when used correctly, can help readers get comfortable and help further the plot.
I would say more about the novel but I'm lazy, so all I will say is; this novel is worth your time.
Also don't become disheartened with the 'fool' trope, let the author try something different for once (because I see a lot of people complaining about it in the first chapter)
