Not Raising Fish, Do Not Disturb

Rumor has it that the Ghost King Chi Huo has a hobby of raising fish, and fish raised by him can be seen everywhere in the cultivation world. From his royal corpse puppet to the leader of the Flower Immortal Sect of the High Mountains, they are all men who have loved him. One Day, Sea King Chi Huo capsized. The men who had been sailed by him rallied to kill him, crushing him to ashes, marking the fall of the Sea King. After his death, Chi Huo’s consciousness awakened and realized that he was the Sea King villain in a danmei novel. The romance he thought before was just the fate of being forced to follow the plot. The so-called Sea King was just a fish in the eyes of Heaven, and will eventually be wiped out. Later, he was reborn as a young swordsman a hundred years ago, where he met himself who was about to capture his first fish. Big Chi Huo: Let go of this fish. Small Chi Huo: I can let him go, but you must stay. Big Chi Huo: Little brat, these tricks of yours to tease men are all leftovers from me. Chi Huo lives a new life and wants to fill up the sea with his own hands for the him of a hundred years ago.

## My Thoughts on Not Raising Fish, Do Not Disturb "Not Raising Fish, Do Not Disturb" had me hooked from the start with its unusual premise. A self-cest romance in a Xianxia setting? I had to dive in. And while the concept might sound strange, the execution is surprisingly well done. ### First Impressions Initially, the idea of the protagonist falling for a younger version of himself felt a bit narcissistic, as some readers pointed out. However, the author manages to create distinct personalities for the older MC (Chi Huo) and the younger ML (Ghost King), despite their shared essence. It was interesting to see how their dynamic unfolded, especially as the MC tried to navigate his past self's thoughts and desires. ### What Works Well The world-building is solid, and the cultivation aspects are woven seamlessly into the romance. I particularly enjoyed the humor, especially Shi Wuzheng's reactions to the ML. The misunderstandings and the MC's attempts to influence events without revealing his true identity added layers of intrigue and comedy. The power dynamics between the MC and ML, with the MC being strong but unable to directly interfere, kept me engaged. The character development is also a strong point. Watching the ML evolve and diverge from the MC's expectations was fascinating. The fact that the MC knew about the ML's food preferences early on, like the salty dish incident, created a sense of intimacy and foreshadowed the deeper connection to come. I also liked how the MC knew he was a cannon fodder character from a book and wanted to change his fate. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, heads up, there's a couple of minor spoilers ahead! I was a bit disappointed to hear that the original couple (Shi Wuzheng and Xiao Guo) didn't get a happy ending. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Not Raising Fish, Do Not Disturb" is a unique and entertaining read. If you're looking for something different with a blend of romance, humor, and cultivation, I'd recommend giving it a try. The self-cest aspect might not be for everyone, but the well-developed characters, intriguing plot, and comedic moments make it a worthwhile experience. I think it's safe to say that I loved it.
