I also love how this kind of world brings real problems to light. Some Murim stories shy away from showing how people in power exploit young girls, how women in positions of supreme authority can also lust after men, and so on. It felt authentic.
Tbf it was never about gender but about power. If women were stronger than men then they would be raping and harassing men . It's all power dynamics
They curated this manwha so perfectly. Its such a common successor fight to the throne sect trope but this specific manwha really pulled me in. I love how personal and gray each of the characters are, like they arent created to center around the MC but rather created to flesh out the story. Its so fascinating how they approach the relationship dynamics too. Its so wholesome but not in a way that doesnt feel forced but it rather flows naturally that you cant help but feel for each and one of the characters that are presented. I also like this way of “doing good deeds” unlike the others ive read where theyre just blindlessly purifying all the “bad things”. The MC understands that the demon sect has a huge politics play where he have to worry about internal as well as external forces, so him making moves while calculating its disadvantages and advantages feels more mature.
Overall this is one of those manwhas where you just cant wait for one chapter each week that you ended up seeking for the novel instead which i did lol
