Succeed, or Fall into Depravity as a Witch!

Successfully invited to the debaucherous Joyous Union Sect with its super-low entry requirements and countless beautiful female disciples, Jiangming thought that the springtime of his life would soon come! However, as he confirmed joining the sect proper, his martial senior brother told him the devastating fine print that shook his heavens. As the applicants’ gender ratio was extremely skewed every year, with an excess of male cultivators, all the men who failed the yearly sect exams would be transformed into women, serving as next term’s junior sisters! According to authoritative statistics, the percentage of these new junior sisters falling into carnal depravity was up to ninety-nine percent! The Joyous Union witches were known worldwide for their beauty, each a soft flower akin to a brocade. How many amongst those delicate charming lasses were originally strapping young lads? In order to avoid becoming the next ‘delicate charming lass’ himself, Jiangming would do anything, including practicing despicable artes, setting up his martial sisters, leading on his senior brothers……However, he eventually realised the dangers hidden in the sect were even worse than previously thought. Deep dark ♂ duels that forced the loser to transform and fall in love with the winner. Heavenly Tribulation that polymorphed you into a succubus if you failed to resist. Hidden techniques to assassinate your c*ckerel. …… Jiangming: “Yet another day of hoping to betray the sect, sigh.” Others: “Sect Master, did you say something?” Jiangming: “Tch~”

## My Thoughts on Succeed, or Fall into Depravity as a Witch! "Succeed, or Fall into Depravity as a Witch!" certainly lives up to its name in terms of wildness. Diving into this novel, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, given the, uh, *extensive* list of tags. However, I found myself surprisingly entertained, even if a little bewildered at times. ### First Impressions Honestly, the first few chapters felt a bit like wading through a swamp of silliness. The premise is definitely out there, and I can see how some might be immediately turned off. It feels like the novel is almost daring you to keep reading, and I'm glad I did. ### What Works Well Beneath the surface-level ecchi and smut elements, there's actually a pretty compelling story struggling to get out. I was pleasantly surprised by the world-building and the development of the characters. The MC and ML have a fun dynamic, and the side characters aren't just cardboard cutouts; they have their own motivations and backstories. I found the writing to be witty and engaging, and the humor, while often "below the waist," landed well for me. I also appreciated that the story wasn't *just* about the smut; there's a genuine plot with betrayals, kidnappings, and other dramatic elements that kept me hooked. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the novel overall, I do have some reservations. One aspect that might deter some readers is the handling of the male lead and the prevalence of gender-bending elements. I can see how the frequent gender swaps and the way they're sometimes implemented could feel forced or even off-putting. The male lead also seems to be a bit of a "no-show" for some readers, which is an understandable concern. ### Final Verdict "Succeed, or Fall into Depravity as a Witch!" is a surprisingly in-depth story hiding beneath a layer of smut and silliness. If you're willing to push past the initial weirdness and potential triggers, you might find yourself enjoying a well-crafted plot with engaging characters and witty writing. However, the handling of gender-bending and the male lead might be a deal-breaker for some. Proceed with caution, but be prepared to be surprised.
