My Thoughts on Battle Through the Heavens Prequel – The Legend of Yao Lao
First Impressions
Alright, let's dive into "Battle Through the Heavens Prequel – The Legend of Yao Lao." I came into this one with a fair bit of curiosity. I knew it was connected to the "Battle Through the Heavens" universe, but I wanted to see if it could stand on its own two feet. So far, I'm intrigued. It definitely has that xuanhuan flavor I enjoy, with cultivation and alchemy playing a big role. The initial setup is promising, drawing me into Yao Lao's world and the challenges he faces.
What Works Well
One thing that immediately grabbed me was the darker, more compelling start. Instead of the typical overpowered protagonist trope, Yao Lao begins his journey facing adversity. This immediately makes him more relatable and makes me want to see how he overcomes the obstacles in his path. I particularly appreciate that the story doesn't shy away from showing him struggling.
The alchemy aspect is also quite engaging. The details surrounding it, along with the world-building, really add depth to the story. I find myself wanting to know more about the intricacies of the cultivation system and how Yao Lao will use his skills to rise above his challenges. It's this potential for growth and the initial setbacks that set this story apart from similar ones I've read.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, my biggest concern isn't necessarily with the story itself, but with the translation status. An incomplete translation can really hinder the enjoyment of a novel, leaving readers hanging and unable to fully immerse themselves in the world. I hope that someone will take up the mantle and continue translating this story, as it truly has the potential to be something special.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Battle Through the Heavens Prequel – The Legend of Yao Lao" has captured my attention. The darker start, the focus on alchemy and cultivation, and the protagonist's struggle against adversity make it a compelling read. While the incomplete translation is a concern, the potential of the story is undeniable. I'm giving this one a solid recommendation, hoping that more people will discover it and that it will eventually receive the complete translation it deserves. I'm eager to see where Yao Lao's legend takes him.
