Description
Scattered leaves fall on the Go game board beside the rotten axe (烂柯), but there is no one playing this Go of Fate (棋缘) amongst the old trees. Prosperity leads to primordial unity, and then reflects on the vast mountains and seas. An hour in the game is a year of the life. When he woke up, Ji Yuan became a half-blind beggar in a dilapidated mountain temple. When one lacks strength, one must rely on bluffing. A real person has a sword, while a charlatan has only their speech. This is the fundamental difference that determines survival and status in this terrifying world. When life is real, a year in the dream may be just a blinking moment of it.

My Thoughts on Lan Ke Qi Yuan
After diving into "Lan Ke Qi Yuan," I can definitely see why it has such a dedicated following. This novel offers a unique spin on the xianxia genre, blending adventure and fantasy with a healthy dose of slice-of-life elements that kept me hooked.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are incredibly charming. The story follows Ji Yuan, a transmigrated soul navigating a world filled with demons, immortals, and everything in between. What immediately grabbed me was the protagonist himself. Ji Yuan isn't your typical power-hungry cultivator; he's calm, clever, and possesses a strong moral compass, making him incredibly easy to root for.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of "Lan Ke Qi Yuan" is its focus on fate and interconnectedness. The way the author weaves together seemingly random encounters into the overarching narrative is masterful. Every character, no matter how small their role, feels important and contributes to the story's rich tapestry. I especially enjoyed how Ji Yuan's relationships with various individuals—mortals, ghosts, demons, and immortals alike—were explored with depth and nuance. The power progression is easy to follow and doesn't overwhelm the reader. The world-building is also top-notch, seamlessly blending cultivation with classical Chinese mythology to create a truly immersive experience.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see where some readers might find certain aspects less appealing. The ending, in particular, seems to be a point of contention. Some found it rushed or unsatisfying, with plot threads left dangling. A few readers also mentioned feeling that some characters, especially disciples of the MC, didn't get the attention they deserved, and many more characters were introduced near the end that felt like plot devices.
