i've been reading the novel incredibly slowly over the past like 4-5 years, and im still currently on chapter 993, which is only like 40% of the whole novel lol. anyways its PEAK. this manhua is subpar in comparison.

the 96 chapters of this manhua is like literally 1% of the story. its his beginning point, and gets better, trust me. there is one or two boring arcs but i stuck through and it was worth it

without giving too many details, in the novel, the characterization, the mc's thought proccesses, world-building, factions, and fights are just in so much better detail, and the mc is much more fleshed out as a character-- we see his thoughts and motivations more clearly, especially as time passes and his character changes here and there. the novel also explores a lot of more topics and issues like money, jealousy, society, corruption, control, and so much more. it is like super duper fucking long but ugh its SO GOOD even in english, i can clearly feel the author is a great writer. also, one thing i like especially is that the mc faces a lot of challenges, failures, and setbacks. its not a smooth and easy road for him, which i love because it gives it more depth

anyways, theres a plethora of comments saying read the novel, so imma say it again: read the fucking novel
