Hello, this is my first post here. Currently, I’m reading the Webnovel Reverend Insanity, and I wanted to see if there are people here who have.
For those who don’t know Reverend Insanity is a novel that follows Fang Yuan, a man who was transmigrated from Earth to the Gu World, a fantasy world. He spent 500 years there, until one day he managed to use the Spring Autumn Cicada (a Gu) to go back 500 years, rebirthing as his young self and continuing his journey with 500 years of experience and foreknowledge.
Personally, this novel is an absolute banger. Fang Yuan himself is a very deep and thematically interesting character, he’s incredibly evil, but he’s not a stupid guy who uses violence mindlessly, but an incredibly good schemer who understands human nature better than anyone. The world building and specially the power system is incredible, not only because of how complex but yet understandable and original it is, but how is used to symbolize abstract stuff.
The story is also combined with Legends of Ren Zu, which is essentially like the Book of Genesis, and narrates the story/legend of the First Human, Ren Zu. Many moments in LORZ are used to create parallels with the main story, which I find amazing.
Besides that, the story has amazing battles, wild plot twists and engaging side characters.
I wanted to see if there are opinions about it here. And if you are curious, you can ask me any questions about the novel, and I’ll try to answer them the best I can.
