My Thoughts on Chronicles of Gu Hai
Chronicles of Gu Hai is a relatively short and sweet read, billing itself as a prequel to the Everlasting Immortal Firmament. As such, it focuses on Gu Hai's origin story, detailing how he becomes a prominent figure in this world. Having finished it, I can see why so many suggest diving into this before tackling its sequel. It provides crucial context.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A middle-aged merchant from our world transmigrating into a xianxia setting? That's a refreshing twist! The early chapters hooked me with Gu Hai's clever business acumen and strategic mind. Watching him navigate this new world, leveraging his past experiences, was genuinely entertaining.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its portrayal of Gu Hai's intelligence and adaptability. He isn't a cultivation prodigy; instead, he uses his knowledge of business and warfare to outsmart his opponents. This makes for a unique xianxia experience, one that doesn't heavily rely on power levels and cultivation realms. I also appreciated the focus on strategy, both in terms of business and military tactics. It felt like a well-executed chess game playing out on a grand scale.
Areas of Concern
However, the pacing becomes a significant issue towards the end. The story feels rushed, with plot points resolved too quickly and character arcs left incomplete. Some elements introduced earlier in the narrative seem to be forgotten entirely, which is disappointing. Also, while the story is tagged as romance, this aspect is barely explored. It's more of a minor subplot than a significant element of the story. The repetition of Gu Hai solving a problem, getting praise, and then acting humble, does get a bit tiresome after a while. It makes the supporting characters feel shallow and somewhat disposable.
Final Verdict
Overall, Chronicles of Gu Hai is an enjoyable read, especially if you're planning to delve into Everlasting Immortal Firmament. While the rushed ending and shallow character development are drawbacks, the unique premise and focus on strategy make it worth checking out. Just be prepared for a quick, somewhat uneven ride. I'd recommend it as a light read to fill time between longer stories, but don't expect a deeply immersive experience.
