unironically i REALLY love this MC and this entire story. i feel like "serious" try-hard and intense MCs without a comedic punch or overwhelmingly amazing talent are falling out of fashion or seen less cool or cringe. but honestly i think they have a type of charm that are often overlooked, esp when written in a way where MC isn't even good enough to have the balls he does, and i'm in LOVE with him uwu
isn't jing si the goddamn cultivation weirdo w a superiority complex? hope he gets fucked over
He doesn't have a superiority complex, that's a different villain.

When Jing Si was Jing Chen, he gained self awareness and plotted to escape his world because it was so poorly written and full of illogical npcs. Although he was villainous in that world he did so with purpose. He's pretty tame tbh, doesn't treat Luxia badly, and doesn't harm people randomly without a cause. And Luxia does not dislike him either, even if she has no feelings for him.
the weirdly secure feeling i have reading this knowing the most 2nd hand, embarassingly immoral bullshit that couldve happened has already happened. like now i can read on knowing that ML knows geon is a stupid piece of shit (endearing), and if ML can tolerate and even indulge him at his worst then everything's okay, bc quite literally mc cannot do anything worse than he's already had
So real, everything is just kinda cute right now
