Synopsis

Yan Wushi, leader of the demonic Huanyue sect, is a master cultivator, a brilliant strategist, and an incurable cynic. In his philosophy, every human heart is ruled by cruelty and selfishness. Anyone who believes otherwise is either a liar or a fool.

Enter the humble Shen Qiao, leader of the Daoist sect at Xuandu Mountain. He is both gracious and charitable, and exactly the type of do-gooder that Yan Wushi despises.

When Shen Qiao suffers a shocking loss in a duel and is left for dead, Yan Wushi happens upon him and concocts a plan to teach him about the wretchedness of humanity. He'll take Shen Qiao under his wing, test the limits of his faith, and lure him into demonic cultivation. After all, it is easy to remain righteous atop a mountain peak that touches the heavens. But a thousand autumns toiling on the blood-soaked earth will break any man.

I find it challenging to review the world building as I do not know fact from fiction. In spite of my ignorance I was able to follow the gist of the story and mostly treated it like an open-world ...

Mixed Feelings
Spoiler
[Disclaimer] It's been a few months since I finished the novel so what plot details I think were irrelevant may be slightly off, this shouldn't affect the review too much though. This is also a rant as much as it is a review sorry lol.

Thousand Autumns is a BL/danmei novel with a fairly interesting premise and a pairing with a (in my opinion) really compelling dynamic. The cynical, selfish and naturally evil Yan Wushi, and the righteous and naturally good Shen Qiao.

The first half of the novel is great. There are some really entertaining interactions between YWS and SQ, and we are given a good ...
