Description
Tan Xiao, the inheritor of a famous shaman family in Chu Province, has been observed by tourists since childhood while receiving his family education: “We are inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, successors of folk culture, and official mascots… You must get into a good university and then come back to expand and strengthen our folk culture and tourism brand.” Tan Xiao: “Got it, scientific inheritance, I should choose science and math as my majors.” Unexpectedly, the first time he presided over a ritual, it… manifested a spirit?! Tan Xiao: ? Even more unexpectedly, the spirit that appeared turned out to be his classmate. Tan Xiao: ??? Tan Xiao: “No way, even deities have to take the college entrance exam these days?” Kong Xuan, son of the Primordial Phoenix, whose beauty surpasses all three realms, transferred to South Chu City No. 1 High School, stunning everyone at school. Tan Xiao to Kong Xuan: “Have you seen where Kong Xuan went?” Kong Xuan: “…You don’t know what Kong Xuan looks like?” Tan Xiao, who suffers from severe face blindness: “With so many people watching him, he must be quite handsome.” Kong Xuan: … It’s said that Tan Xiao from Class Three is very aloof, ignoring both classmates and teachers as he walks. Tan Xiao: … “Ah, those are my classmates?” Later, Kong Xuan: “Come with me to catch a demon.” Tan Xiao: … “Fine, let’s wait until after evening self-study.” With demons frequently appearing, Tan Xiao fights bravely on the front lines, vanquishing foes far and wide. His companions and the ghosts and demons exclaim: “Aren’t you just a mascot?!”

My Thoughts on Even a Shaman Needs Evening Self-Study
First Impressions
Okay, so I dove into "Even a Shaman Needs Evening Self-Study" expecting something along the lines of your typical modern cultivation story, but with a twist. And honestly? I wasn't disappointed. The premise itself is intriguing – a blend of shamanic culture with the everyday grind of modern life. It's a refreshing departure from the usual tropes, and that alone piqued my interest.
What Works Well
What immediately stood out to me was the main character, Tan Xiao. He’s just so...endearing. There's this delightful second-hand embarrassment that comes with watching him completely miss the cues from the male lead, Kong Xuan, that had me chuckling throughout. It's that kind of humor that really lands. The relationship development between Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan feels organic and believable. It's not some instant connection, but a gradual unfolding built on small moments and misunderstandings that feel incredibly real. It's a "power couple" in the making.
The way the author weaves traditional shamanic culture into a modern setting is also really well done. It doesn't feel forced or contrived, but rather a natural part of the world. This isn't your run-of-the-mill cultivation story; it has a unique flavor that sets it apart. The plot is engaging, filled with schemes, conspiracies, ghosts, and mythology, and kept me hooked from beginning to end. I found myself eager to see what happened next.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, it's hard to find major faults with this one. It really delivers on what it promises – a fun, engaging, and unique take on the cultivation genre.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Even a Shaman Needs Evening Self-Study" is a delightful read. If you're a fan of modern cultivation novels but are looking for something a bit different, with a unique cultural twist and charming characters, then I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes feel a bit stale. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
