My Thoughts on The Great Worm Lich
Okay, so I dove into "The Great Worm Lich" with some… interesting expectations. The title alone conjures images of undead horrors and wriggling masses, but the reality is a bit more nuanced, and perhaps a little lost in translation.
First Impressions
Initially, I was thrown off. The early chapters felt clunky, and I struggled to grasp the world the author was building. The translation definitely needs some work, with "worm" being used in a way that's more akin to "pest" or "vermin." It took me a while to adjust, and I can see why some readers might drop it early on.
What Works Well
Despite the rough start, I found myself getting drawn in by the unique premise. It's a modern-day cultivation story with a focus on Gu magic, which is something I haven't encountered often. The idea of a protagonist controlling insects and animals is pretty cool, and the blend of Chinese mythology with a modern setting is intriguing. I also appreciated the author's attempt to portray a Chinese perspective on Western culture, even if it's not always perfect. There's a certain charm to the story that kept me going.
Areas of Concern
The translation issues are a major hurdle. Confusing terminology and awkward sentence structures can make it difficult to fully immerse yourself in the story. Character development also feels a bit lacking. The MC, while not inherently unlikeable, doesn't always feel particularly compelling, and the supporting characters could use more depth. The world-building is also a bit inconsistent, with information being revealed haphazardly.

Final Verdict
"The Great Worm Lich" is a mixed bag. It has a unique premise and some interesting ideas, but it's held back by translation issues, inconsistent character development, and questionable plot choices. If you're willing to overlook these flaws and enjoy a unique blend of modern fantasy and Chinese mythology, it might be worth a try. However, be prepared for a bumpy ride. I'd give it a tentative 3/5 – it has potential, but it needs some serious polish.
