At this time, the great demon Qi Yin, who would eventually dominate the world and destroy everything, was still an unloved and unwanted illegitimate child. When he crouched like a wild dog under the eaves of his aunt’s house, he met the rumored vicious and cruel demon lord. ‘My bride is here, and I’ve come to get married.’ Qi Yin never dreamed that the bride the demon lord spoke of was himself. For you, I’ll destroy the world, even if it means destroying myself.

My Thoughts on Jia Mo
"Jia Mo" is definitely a unique xianxia novel, and my experience reading it was a bit of a rollercoaster. It's complete, which is always a plus, but the journey getting there seems to be different for everyone. While the overall rating is solid, it's clear this story isn't for everyone.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the blend of genres – action, adventure, comedy, and shounen ai, all wrapped up in an ancient China setting. The synopsis promises a character growth story, focusing on Qi Yin's journey from an apathetic young man to the "Great Demon." I found myself immediately drawn to the idea of a lighthearted adventure with a sweet romance.
What Works Well
What really shines in "Jia Mo" is the relationship between Qi Yin and the male lead, Fu Lan. He is a sweetheart, a gentle and devoted character who is just so adorable. The focus on family, both found and blood-related, is another strong point. I appreciated the author's exploration of these themes, especially Qi Yin's background and the impact of his mother's death. The writing itself is well-done, and the gradual unfolding of the plot keeps you invested, particularly in the latter half of the story. The character growth of Qi Yin is also a major draw, as we see him evolve and mature throughout his journey.
Areas of Concern
The "comedy" aspect of the novel seems to be a point of contention. While some might find it amusing, others may find it cringy or forced. The pacing can also be slow at times, especially in the beginning, which might deter some readers.

Final Verdict
Despite some flaws, "Jia Mo" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a character-driven story with a heartwarming romance and a focus on family. It's not a perfect novel, and the humor might not land for everyone, but the strong character relationships and the gradual unfolding of the plot make it an enjoyable experience overall. If you're seeking a lighthearted adventure with a sweet romance and you don't mind a bit of slow pacing, I recommend giving "Jia Mo" a try.
