Description

The sect leader of a certain small sect took in a personal disciple rumored to be a total loser who hadn’t broken through the initial three stages even after five years. The other disciples were in an uproar. They watched in disbelief as the sect leader treated this “useless basket” like a treasured pearl, stuffing her hands with top-grade spirit stones and high-quality spiritual treasures as if money meant nothing. The disciples thought the sect leader had gone mad. Unexpectedly, just days later, the sect leader insanely kicked her into the territory of their rival sect, under the guise of encouraging her to gain more experience. The disciples of the Tuo Yue Sect pitied her, thinking she would be terribly bullied at the Shui Yun Sect. However, within days, calamitous news spread: – Disciples of the Shui Yun Sect encountered a beast tide, a disaster seen once in a millennium! – The Shui Yun Sect was struck by lightning, destroying their temple! – The ancient ancestor of the Shui Yun Sect failed yet another tribulation attempt against the lightning! – The guardian beast of the Shui Yun Sect broke through its barrier and went mad, causing the senior elders to intervene and sustain severe injuries! Within two months, the development of the Shui Yun Sect regressed by thirty years. Meanwhile, Mo Yu, a once powerful figure who was killed by a tribulation lightning in her previous life, is reborn as a lowly errand disciple in a minor sect. Nonchalantly, she decides to just coast along, doing daily check-in tasks and sweeping around, living leisurely. Suddenly, she is noticed by the sect leader, taken as a personal disciple, and even sent as an exchange student to make the sect proud. Well, she thought, wherever she goes, she just needs to survive, right? But as she continues this laid-back life, the sects around her keep collapsing, while her own sect’s status skyrockets. Watching her master smiling with various top-tier cultivation resources in his arms, she realizes with a dazed expression: A supreme calamity body? Capable of bringing misfortune to those around her? Comparable to a karmic tribulation? Turns out, she’s a jinx!

Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback

"Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback" had me hooked from the premise alone – a reborn protagonist, Mo Yu, just trying to chill in her sect after failing to ascend, but fate (and her sect) have other plans. I dove in eager for some lighthearted cultivation shenanigans, and for a good chunk of the story, that's exactly what I got.

First Impressions

The initial chapters were a blast. The comedy landed perfectly, and the whole "misfortune" angle leading to Mo Yu's sectmates constantly pushing her to cultivate despite her laziness was genuinely funny. It felt like a refreshing take on the reincarnation trope, focusing more on slice-of-life moments within a xianxia world than your typical revenge plot.

What Works Well

The character portrayals are a strong point. Each character, even the minor ones, felt like they had their own motivations and agency. I appreciated how the author gave realistic reasons for their actions, making the world feel more alive and less like a stage for the MC's exploits. The mysteries surrounding the inability to ascend also kept me engaged, providing a good balance to the comedic elements. The world building was well done and I felt the translation was well done.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, I have to address the elephant in the room: the ending. It felt incredibly abrupt, cutting off mid-arc without resolving any of the major plot threads. The mysteries surrounding ascension remained unsolved, leaving me with a sense of frustration and disappointment. I was left hanging and wanting more.

Final Verdict

Despite the abrupt ending and some potential pacing issues with the antagonist, I found "Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback" to be an enjoyable read. The comedy is on point, the characters are well-developed, and the overall premise is intriguing. However, be warned: if you decide to embark on this journey, prepare yourself for a cliffhanger that might leave you feeling cheated. If you're looking for a light-hearted cultivation novel with a strong focus on humor, this might be worth checking out, just keep your expectations in check regarding the ending.
