The story gets going very quickly. It's about a poor boy joining a sect and there is a retarded young master looking for an excuse to obsess over getting revenge on MC (he was about to fall and grabbed a girl's hand. That's it. That's the reason for the insanely obsessive revenge).
And so, the sect orders the new disciples to perform missions, and the person handing over the missions singles MC out and gives him something unreasonable in order to please the young master. Rinse and repeat.
All characters are paper cutouts and the world has the full depth of a puddle of piss.
Ghosts, evil sprits (which are also ghosts) and demons (also ghosts) and ghosts and ghosts and some more ghosts. And if haven't vomited yet, there are also more ghosts.
This is a really good story. Reminiscent of A mortal's journey to immortality.
There's no romance and MC is neither dumb nor impulsive.
It's about a great solo adventure and the quest for immortality.
Just like RMJI, the first arc is just mortal stuff, it's only later that cultivation really begins. The build up is a bit slow at first but it's worth it.
Someone said MC's sister is dead weight, but I didn't get that impression at all. He'd send some silver to his family during the first arc, but that's it. None of his family can cultivate. I don't wanna spoil things but the family doesn't hold him back at all.
