Description

Once upon a time on Tianyan Mountain, there grew an evergreen tree next to a small dirt mound overlooking Soul Splitting Cliff. At the base of this tree was a dry, shriveled, and timid little lingzhi mushroom. Every day when people passed by, it would squeeze its eyes shut and think, ‘don’t pluck me for soup, don’t pluck me for soup…’ Until one day, a ray of white light shone down from the skies and turned her into a human. Or rather, she gave it her all so she could become human, up to the moment she met him. As it turned out, he and she were both monsters. Though the world was so big, there wasn’t a place for either of them in it. What are Demons, Monsters, Immortals, and Humans? Everything they did stemmed from a desire to share their warmth as fellow monsters. For love and justice! Little mushroom! Transform!

My Thoughts on With One Smile, the Sword Tramples the Mushroom

This web novel, "With One Smile, the Sword Tramples the Mushroom," definitely piqued my interest with its whimsical title and blend of genres. A combination of comedy, romance, shoujo, and xianxia? Sign me up! I dove in hoping for a lighthearted yet engaging read, and I wasn't entirely disappointed.

First Impressions

The premise is intriguing. We have an average-looking female protagonist, which is a refreshing change of pace. The story hints at sealed power, multiple realms, and mythical beasts, which immediately sets the stage for a grand adventure. The "slow romance" tag also caught my eye – I'm a sucker for a well-developed, gradual burn.

What Works Well

The emotional depth of this story is undeniable. The theme of unwavering loyalty and devotion really shone through. The love story, while slow-paced, seems to be the heart of the narrative, and is compelling. I can appreciate a romance where characters would follow each other through thick and thin. The cultivation aspect seems to be well-integrated, providing a solid foundation for the characters' growth and struggles.

Areas of Concern

While the story is complete, the translation is ongoing. This can be a bit frustrating for readers eager to devour the whole thing. The pace might not be for everyone. If you're looking for instant gratification in the romance department, this might test your patience.

Final Verdict

"With One Smile, the Sword Tramples the Mushroom" appears to be a promising read for those who enjoy slow-burn romances, xianxia elements, and emotionally charged narratives. While the translation progress might be a hurdle, the core story seems to offer a rewarding experience. If you're in the mood for a tale of loyalty, devotion, and a love that transcends realms, give this one a try. Just be prepared to shed a tear or two along the way!
