Writing a review because I really like this game! At the time I have played about 15h, so I'll come back to write/edit more if I feel like it after finishing.

I came across this while searching for games in/around/somehow related to the whole cultivation genre. Probably bought it on sale, but at this point I don't actually remember... I tried starting it once but couldn't focus on it enough to "jump" in the story with all that was going on in it, but now I've started it a second time and I don't think I've missed anything crucial with not playing the first 2 games. Or maybe I have. But at least it hasn't felt like I should know half of the story already, which is really nice.

I have had no issues with crashes or anything, and I'm running max settings. What I really appreciate about this game is how well-crafted and gorgeous all the environments are! And the vibrant colors! And the character designs!

I'm currently roughly 15 hours in, and if the story continues with a similar pacing, I'm expecting completion maybe at around 80h? Honestly, the game really doesn't feel like an RPG though, so be warned if you're expecting that. At least so far I haven't come across any dialogue options or the like. I don't really care - the story is interesting and I'm definitely hooked on it, but if you'd want more actual RPG elements, then I wouldn't recommend this game. You follow along the story, fight some enemies, search areas, maybe do some quests, and probably also get hooked on the damn card game. I know I have spent too long playing it, ha.

Regarding the English translation, I haven't found much to complain about. It's leagues better than some out there, and I can tolerate some rare mistakes while still fully enjoying the story. I don't know any Chinese myself, so idk how much is being left out, but it has worked well for me. Dialogue, ambient dialogue (not all though, I don't think, but alot of it anyway), menus, the card game, etc. seem to all have translations. And guessing what on earth the Steam achievement popup says while you play is just part of the fun. XD
