Great storytelling, an MC with personality, and the start of a journey from humble origins to something great. This is why I love the Wuxia genre. There's something refreshing about stories written by authors of another culture. Their perspective and writing style is a breath of fresh air after reading so many of the same Litrpgs, slice of life, apolocaplse, dungeon-crawler, harem novels that have flooded the market. I'm glad so many books in this series are already available and I can't wait to dive into the next.

The main character, Bai Xiaochun, is terrified of death due to the trauma of his parents' death, and he vows to never die. He 'tentatively' pursues immortality--minimizing the risks of the violent cultivation world--as he powers up. He is often overly cautious and protective of his 'poor little life,' which leads to disasters, making him a legendary calamity in every sect that he joins.

AWE is my favorite xianxia, topping even ISSTH (Er Gen's prior story). The story has epic moments as good as any xianxia published, but the comedy is what made the story my favorite. I rarely laugh out loud while reading books, but this one had me rolling. And the comedy is a credit to the translator, Deathblade, as much as it is to the author Er Gen. It's difficult to make comedy land, especially in translation.

AWE is a must read for any xianxia fan. 5/5 Stars

I have read many cultivation novels and this is one of my favorites. The MC has a very distinct personality. This is one of the only series in the genre that I will find myself laughing at certain moments when I am reading it. I am planning on reading all the KU books. I have read the whole novel in the online in the past on Wuxia World before this came to KU, but I am looking forward to reading it again with all the new edits.

This series is a masterpiece written by an amazing author and translated by my favorite translator.

The entire book series is well worth the read and shouldn't be missed.

Be prepared to laugh, cry, and go on an incredible journey with BXC in my favorite tale in the multi book series.

Just finished the first book that we have waited years to get, and can't wait to read them all again.

Thank you, DB!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Great Cultivation Novels by a Great Author and Translator
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2024
A Will Eternal is one of the great Xianxia (Immortal Hero) novels by the renowned Er Gen.

There are connections with his other novels such as "I Shall Seal the Heavens", that can also be found on Amazon.

It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family.

Compared to his other novels it is more comedic and light-hearted although it still contains plenty of action and drama.

Like all his novels the world and characters are well thought out with complexity and motivation that will draw you in and care about what happens which I always find to be the sign of a good story.

The novel is translated by Jeremy "Deathblade" Bai who is very skilled and cares about the work and works hard to produce a novel to a very high standard.

This version has been re-edited since its initial translation on WuxiaWorld.

If you like Progression Fantasy, give this a read as Xianxia was the genre that started it.
