Description

After the Second Prince of the Ninth Heaven broke the Holy Spirit Lamp, he was then deprived of his Mana, his appearance, and was demoted to descending to the world to experience calamity. The Second Prince, who had now no talent and no appearance, became the younger martial brother in Miaoxian Mansion, and started the path of cultivating immortals with fear. At first, everyone bullied him, and only the cold and taciturn senior brother treated him well. Later, he learned that the senior martial brother, the same as him, had a deep fate with immortals. Unless his soul left his body, he would become his Taoist Companion. His heart was happy. Until that day he witnessed the senior martial brother commit great treason and as he held the Master in his arms. With a piteous cry, “Miaomiao…….” The cold face showed a gentle look as well. That was the Master’s nickname. The Second Prince no longer expected the senior martial brother to see him, but he did not expect the senior martial brother to be desperate and begged him, “Xiao Qi, save the Master, only your life can be exchanged for his life.” After coming back, the Second Prince didn’t even evade the sword and died under it. In a trance, he saw the senior martial brother’s disbelieving expression. With his body dead, he returned to heaven. The father of the Ninth Heaven raised this scarred man. The Second Prince asked for a heartless bead. After years of suffering, it was better to be a merciless and loveless immortal. It was just that, it didn’t occur to him that his senior martial brother became the only devil in the Three Realms. He didn’t know until he died– —that the senior martial brother was covered with blood and tears. He knelt on his knees and could not stand up from the sycamore tree and fought madly with his fragmented soul. Note: This novel is actually dark comedy, with lots of violence

My Thoughts on After Being Preached by My Senior Martial Brother

First Impressions

Going into After Being Preached by My Senior Martial Brother, I was expecting something angsty and dramatic, based on the summary. What I found instead was a delightful rom-com with xianxia elements. The story follows Feng Xuan, a god sent to the mortal realm to undergo a love calamity with the (potentially) demonic Qi Zhuoyu. Armed with a peek at his "fate," Feng Xuan tries to navigate this destined relationship, leading to hilarious and heartwarming situations.

What Works Well

The biggest strength of this novel is the dynamic between Feng Xuan and Qi Zhuoyu. Feng Xuan is a lazy, vain, and often hilarious protagonist, while Qi Zhuoyu is the cold, overpowered senior martial brother with a hidden childish side. Their interactions are consistently entertaining, and I found myself laughing out loud at their antics. The romance is sweet and fluffy, and the plot, while not the main focus, provides a nice backdrop for their relationship to develop. I especially enjoyed Feng Xuan's internal monologue and strange thought processes, which added a layer of comedy to the story. The side story about Feng Xuan's parents was a delightful addition, showcasing that the comedic genes run in the family.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the story overall, there were a few things that didn't quite click for me. Feng Xuan, despite being the protagonist, is often quite passive and doesn't contribute much to the plot. Qi Zhuoyu is so overpowered that there's rarely any real sense of danger, which can make the conflicts feel less impactful. I also found the reliance on modern terms and concepts a bit jarring at times, pulling me out of the xianxia setting. Some may also find Qi Zhuoyu's remorseless killing and stealing a bit off-putting, even if it's presented in a comedic way.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, After Being Preached by My Senior Martial Brother is an enjoyable and lighthearted read. If you're looking for a fluffy rom-com with a cute couple and don't mind a somewhat passive protagonist and an overpowered love interest, this novel is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a story that's more about the characters and their relationship than a complex plot or serious xianxia world-building. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
