OH MY GOSH I LOVED IT!

I Shall Seal the Heavens is a loooooong ride (around four times longer than the Bible) but definitely worth it!

---The setting is established well with a great many interesting quirks

---The characters and their development are consistent

---The conflicts are believable (for the most part) and there are minimal liberties taken with the power system. Most powerups feel earned.

---The author can easily turn a situation funny when it needs to be and serious when shit gets down!

---The romance, despite so many people complaining about it, actually follows logic. I won't spoil it, but the MC pursues his love interest realistically. Some of the audience just wasn't satisfied with how little actual romance there was despite the love interest being a motivator for the MC so many times.

---Some things to unexplained, but in my opinion....for the most part, what goes unexplained went that way for a reason. There needs to be mystery to some extent to allow readers to fill in the gaps. It's psychology, and its how writing works.

This novel is without a doubt a masterpiece.

the characters are great, the story is even better, as er gen drops little hints that don't make sense until well later in the novel when all the dots start to connect.

There are great moments of comedy, romance, action, suspense etc., you get a little bit of everything and it is all masterfully written. I really cannot point out any moment in this novel where i wasn't interested or engaged with the story or characters.

My evaluation of this novel is:

If "I Shall Seal the Heavens" claims to be the second best novel, then no one should dare claim to be Number one!

Probably the best novel I've ever read.

We start in a little sect in a small country (well, 10 000 km wide if I remember correctly, but you know... Chinese novel...), and as the story goes on, we discover that this world is getting bigger and bigger. The different settings are varied and very well described, you can just see it. And it looks awesome.

The MC personality is well designed,as well as the side characters, both friends and enemies.

The story... Every arc could be a different novel, yet it all connects smoothly. Not repetitive at all and entertaining from start to finish.

I almost recommend not reading it because it will be hard for you to find a novel as good as this one after you're done.

Last but not least, the translation. Fantastic work from Deathblade and all the people who helped editing, translating ancient characters, how to pronounce characters' names, etc...

In summary, an awesome novel by Er Gen, so go read it now!
