Description
As the number one pill alchemist of the immortal world, Mu Chen had always believed that it was because he had single-mindedly focused on concocting pills that led to him to neglect disciplining his disciple. Which in turn, caused his disciple to be led astray by the seduction of devil cultivation, leading to the three realms to fall to disaster. After his rebirth, Mu Chen resolved to properly teach his disciple, give him the very best resources, earnestly love him, carry him close to his heart, teach him by way of example, and didn’t let him grow corrupt. Sure enough, his disciple became more and more “intimate”. Every day his disciple even crawled into his bed, rubbing against his chest and clinging to his thigh. It was just that his expression isn’t exactly quite right……

The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side
This xianxia novel promised a blend of action, comedy, romance, and a touch of yaoi, and while it delivered on some fronts, it also stumbled in ways that left me feeling conflicted. "The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side" is a story about Mu Chen, an alchemist who gets a second chance to raise his disciple, Gu Yunjue, and prevent him from becoming a demon lord.
First Impressions
Initially, I was charmed by the fluffy and humorous interactions between the master and disciple. The dynamic was cute, and I found myself invested in Mu Chen's attempts to guide Gu Yunjue down a righteous path. The idea of a reincarnated disciple already knowing what will happen makes the novel more engaging.
What Works Well
The world-building is solid, creating a believable xianxia setting. Many readers seem to enjoy the characters, particularly the "cold but with a warm heart" MC and the "black-bellied" disciple. The early chapters offer a good dose of lighthearted fun as Gu Yunjue tries to manipulate his master while Mu Chen remains adorably oblivious. I also found the premise of preventing a descent into darkness quite compelling. There are readers who claim the ML is completely devoted to the MC and that makes the novel worth reading.
Areas of Concern
However, the initial charm fades as the story progresses. The relationship takes a darker turn, and what starts as playful teasing evolves into something more problematic. The ML's possessiveness becomes overbearing, and the MC's cluelessness, while initially endearing, eventually grows frustrating. The plot seems to drag once the characters get together which creates an unsatisfying novel.

Final Verdict
"The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side" is a mixed bag. While it offers moments of humor and intrigue, the problematic elements in the romance and the uneven pacing ultimately detract from the overall experience. If you're a fan of yandere characters and can stomach potentially triggering content, you might find something to enjoy here. However, if you're looking for a purely fluffy and consensual romance, this novel might not be for you.
