Description

Strife is a world of war and conflict. A person's place in society is determined by their might and the size of their coffers. Brigands and cutthroats rove through the countryside, reaping the lives of innocents. But above all, stand the divine artists. Individuals who can utilize qi, the natural life force of Strife, as weapons, either for good or terrible evil. Sometimes both. However, some are fortunate enough to be spared from the rigors of Strife.

One such boy is Sezha, the scion of a nouveau rich family of merchants. But he holds a terrible weight on his shoulders. Spurred by the hope of redemption, he must embark on a journey away from all he holds dear.

Notice: Updates will be irregular as I have college admissions to focus on. Please understand that I can't dedicate more than a few hours a day to this.

I am looking forward to reading how Kyu Sezha grows on the path of cultivation. I was enchanted with the story after reading a great prologue because not only it sets up a great premise but it gives a very personal side to our main character (his goals) and his family.

This feels like a slightly more unique weak-to-strong, in which the MC doesn't want to become strong at all from the start.
I also can't wait to see more Moji. Seems like they can have some interesting sibling dynamics, being from a noble family with power struggles. Also for once the OP ancestor isn't in a ring but a rather a sword.
Style-wise, I am not the greatest fan of prolonged, sustained vocabulary. Although I understand that it does convey the intentions of the author in a more precise manner, it also greatly inhibits the speed and the flow of the story. However, I can also see why some readers might prefer this over more "copy-paste" (or vague) style of writing.
The grammar and spelling so far has been top-notch, and I have not found any errors. Full marks for that.
The story is at a tentative 4/5 stars, since at this current stage we have barely seen much of the world, and also haven't explored much of the universe.
As for characters, I think they are well defined and have their own thoughts; so far their actions match their personalities and does not contradict. I like the air of mysteriousness surrounding some characters such as Moji and Nara.
