## My Thoughts on Evil Weapon’s Self-Cultivation "Evil Weapon's Self-Cultivation" promised a unique blend of comedy, fantasy, and a dash of romance, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise alone – an ancient demonic sword trying to cultivate merit in the modern world – had me hooked. It's the kind of quirky setup that immediately sparks interest, and I found myself eager to see where Cyan Wings would take it. ### First Impressions The initial chapters were a blast. I particularly enjoyed the fish-out-of-water scenarios as the MC, Chengge, grappled with modern technology and social norms. His misunderstandings and overly righteous pronouncements, juxtaposed against his intimidating appearance, created some truly laugh-out-loud moments. Watching him evolve from fearing the internet to embracing science to further his martial arts training was a delightful journey. ### What Works Well The humor is definitely a strong point. Cyan Wings has a knack for creating smart and funny characters, and Chengge is no exception. His dedication to doing good, even if driven by a selfish desire to maintain his human form, raises interesting philosophical questions. The author also cleverly incorporates the relationship between Chengge and Qu Lian. I appreciated that their romance progressed quickly and without unnecessary drama. The ongoing "sword and sheath" innuendo, while potentially repetitive, consistently managed to elicit a chuckle from me. ### Areas of Concern While the initial novelty was captivating, I can see how the repetitive nature of certain scenes might wear thin for some readers. The formula of the MC shocking everyone with his strength and righteousness, while initially amusing, could become predictable over time. I can understand how the constant PDA between the MC and ML might feel overdone after a while. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have noted that the romance progresses quickly, with the main couple confirming their relationship relatively early in the story. This might be a positive for those who dislike slow-burn romances, but others might find it lacks depth. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Evil Weapon’s Self-Cultivation" is a fun and engaging read, especially if you're looking for something lighthearted and comedic. While it might suffer from some repetition in the later chapters, the unique premise, charming characters, and witty writing make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of Cyan Wings' other works.
