TL:DR - Good idea but bland execution.
Have you ever read those boring xianxia stories? Even though they have good ideas, most of them fail to deliver and this one feels something like that—now don't misunderstand, I like this, it feels good because the Protagonist is evil and doesn't care about anything.
Everyone feels bland and goes the way the mc wants them to go, it's like theyre just here for the Protagnotist.
I have a tip for you - think of every character as the Protagonist of their own story, and you'll have an easier time with imagining their life and personality.
GOOD LUCK
