Based on the chapters I've read, I can say that the book is worth reading. Interesting system of strength, no system, the main character has and is training to get stronger. Not much else to say, just read it! :)
50 words is hard, I mean I just wrote a review to support the author, his work looks more interesting than rising stars...

I'm absolutely captivated by the world you've created in "Witch of the End." These first two chapters introduce us to the fascinating Feng family, and I'm already hooked by the complex dynamics and the intriguing blend of fantasy and modern elements.
Chapter 1, "The Two Sides of House Feng," immediately establishes a sense of grandeur and mystery. Lena's introduction is striking – the ethereal beauty, the icy calmness, the display of her statistics. It's clear she's a force to be reckoned with, a product of her lineage and her rigorous training. The contrast between her controlled exterior and the brief glimpse of vulnerability when Lady Lunaris is mentioned adds depth to her character. The interaction with General Blackthorn is well-written, revealing both the respect the Feng clan commands and the political undercurrents at play.
Then we're introduced to Luna, and the story takes a sharp turn. Her world is so different from Lena's. While Lena is the picture of poise and duty, Luna is immersed in the virtual world of Raiden Lords, seeking solace and escape. Her frustration with the "rich bureaucrat" comment from her online friend is relatable. It highlights the prejudice and misunderstanding she faces due to her family's status. The revelation of her lack of Zenshi, despite her rare blood type, is a gut punch. It explains her isolation and her feelings of inadequacy. The description of the world and the role of Ascenders is seamlessly woven into Luna's internal monologue, giving us a clear understanding of the stakes and the societal pressures she faces.
Chapter 2, "New Beginning," delves deeper into the sisters' relationship and Luna's internal struggle. The party scene is a perfect backdrop for exploring their contrasting personalities. Lena's formality and sense of duty are juxtaposed with Luna's cynicism and social anxiety. Their conversation reveals their differing perspectives on their family's role and their own place in the world. Luna's internal conflict r

I’m enjoying the story. It’s clearly planned out. Pacing is fairly good. Balance between dialogue and action is good too. Has lots of interesting characters. And the xianxia mechanics work quit well.
But even though I’m enjoying the story, there is one big issue. The MC often makes leaps of logic that don’t feel natural. The MC’s understanding of the world is used as the main vehicle to explain the world. When the story wants to explain some new concept, the MC suddenly knows whatever the story wants to tell the reader.

This has several serious issues, I'll try to lay them out for you:
This is very shallow. Very little thought seem to have been given beyond the surface layer. There are no direct contradictions, but plenty of indirect ones. Things that just don't really make sense given what is previously established.
The least serious issue is the grammar. By itself, it's fine, but there are some words that just, straight up don't mean what the author seems to think they do given how they use them. It's very obvious that English is not the author's first language and that they direly need an editor.
The main character just, doesn't really make much sense. Apparently, she's stronger than most power users, just unable to use most of that strength. And somehow, she has 0 interest in exploring how she might be able to use her strength, instead choosing to wallow in despair. And even with what "little" she can use, she can easily beat power users her age, and this just, doesn't affect her decision to choose despair over literally anything else? She just make no sense. She clearly wants to actually be good/strong, but just, doesn't act on it until her mom tells her to go fight?
Speaking of, the whole arc about her needing to go fight... It's, so bad (at least as far as I read). Why was a joint operation delayed for the sake of someone who presumably can't really fight at the higher levels? Why are they sending their Low-Mid tier fighters to fight the unknown, even after their scout(s?) returned? The scouts returning obviously means that you don't just die by going there. There is 0 reason to not at least send 1 powerhouse just to keep things under control... I could keep going on about this, but I can't be bothered. This should get my point across.
The combat scenes are bad. We're talking full on introspection during combat with lore and info dumps. This completely destroys any tension there could've been. Of which there is none because the scenes are also written very drily.
