Synopsis

The King of Spirits is a spirit that stands above all others, reigning over the Spirit Realm. However, similar to his subjects, he retains no corporeal body. Growing tired of his immortal role, he ascends to Earth, and begins to possess human bodies to satiate his everlasting boredom.



With the interest of making a name for himself in the cultivation world by vanquishing the King, Xu Jiyu, a weak yet determined cultivator, sets off on an adventure to defeat the King despite his lack of powerful spiritual roots.



...But the King was not what everyone had expected at all!



King: "Xu Jiyu, why do females and males hold hands?"



Xu Jiyu: "Well, it's to show their love and affection for each other!"



King: *seriously clasps Xu Jiyu's hands in his own*



Xu Jiyu: "........?!"

I'm a straight male who doesn't have any thoughts of becoming gay anytime soon. I fear this novel will turn me gay... But I can't stop reading......

I totally love this! Cultivation novel? Yes! BL? YES!! The writing style is so good, every scene, specially the atmosphere and setting were expressed vividly with excellent use of figures of speech (I totally appreciate stories where authors lay special attention to the use of these) the use of FOS makes me imagine the scenes and feel them vividly which makes me want to read more. The characters are adorable and I really love them! Also I love the plot! It doesn't revolve only to the attraction of both characters given its BL rather it makes the story revolve around them to slowly develop each of them and later the romance (。・ω・。) Also, author is so kind and sweet! (ノ*>∀<)ノ♡♡♡

Let's get this story to the top 10, where it belongs! The writing is so well made, I can clearly tell how much the author invests in each individual chapter. The protagonist is one of those rare, *****/slightly silly. I enjoy reading his monologues and I find myself relating better to characters such as himself. As for the male lead? Where do I even start? An all powerful Spirit King = Absolutely clueless, senseless man. He's adorable! I'm glad I chanced upon this novel, I'll definitely be handing my power stones for every chapter released. *cough* Moar chapterz plz *cough*

I came across this novel, gave it a try, ended up getting addicted and binge reading it. Also let me just say, I love the story so much!!! It has a great story plot, sweet and hilarious at the same time and I just can't wait to see how the story will unfold. Especially the part where little Xu realizes who he's been traveling with the whole time😆😆😆😆😂😂😂♥♥♥

5 star for BL! 5 star just for this brave author! On a more serious note, do read this. The writing quality is great if not best. The world is vividly described with flowing words and not just info dumps. She incorporate the cultivation without it 'being in your face' and being too much as the main focus. Just purely the world they live in. The stability update, can't say for much now since it only have a few chapter available. Definitely adding it in my library.

Still waiting for the big gay, it'll happen at some point, just gotta wait a couple years until then. Also I would like to mention how a bee should be unable to fly. You see, the bee is much larger than its smol wings can carry, but by some logic, the wings carry the bee and it can fly, such a wondrous sight, but a odd one.

Overall reading on the new very first chapter and the latest second chapter, I really enjoyed it. In other words, how you structured it to be and how it's progressing through makes it easy to read!! ♡ Nonetheless, the characters personas towards in Second chapter also made me laugh in a way of comic relief that releases any tension of a serious tone, in which case I really liked! I look forward for the future chapters upcoming! ♪( ´▽`)

The theme of cultivation being a side concept for the 'BL' world is an interesting find, and I think the novel will rake in the views and attention it deserves if the prioritization remains that way (so that cultivation doesn't waylay the BL romance)! Overall, the story is great. A characters possess the proper generic attributes dependent on their origin or race - humans possess clear, intrinsic or external flaws, similar to how spirits and demon characters have specific weaknesses or strengths. This is being portrayed nicely in the first four chapters, and outshines a good chunk of what you can find in Webnovel's archives. The only thing I would suggest during later revision is to check whether the tense is appropriate for smooth transitions between instances and actions. From my opinion, the wording scheme can be altered between instances from past to present instead of strictly adhering to a single attribute to add variety, but the method you employed worked as well! Good Work! This is definitely going into the library of someone who doesn't read BL novels!

Though i have never tried BL before, I loved your writing style. Plot is interesting. Specially in first chapter. Those descriptions are deep. And with good amount of humour, I can see great success for this novel. But honestly I don't know if BL genera could go up on webnovel.

Wow! First time reading a BL novel, however, the author really did a good job in regards to world building. The character interaction is well done with some bits of comedy to add to the fun. This story has a lot of potential. Good quality writing and I feel that the author will be going places. Keep up the good work!
