My rant about RI, just a love letter mostly

Fang yuan is probably the best written character in fiction, atleast to my current knowledge. His conflicts with the world is interesting enough in the physical sense, but this sory manages to give this a philosophical concept and make FY at odds with both the demonic and righteous philosophies of the world and really make you think about your own pillars of morality, and this is just one beautiful aspect of him. I know for some reason people glaze his consistency and act as if thats why hes truly great, but for me atleast his themes and external conflict are much more earth shattering. I also could go on and on about other incredible hidden gems like Duke long, red lotus, spectral soul and star constellation or even the random rockman, and of course no one can forget the pitiful ren zu, but I kinda don't see myself qualified enough (atleast yet) to be able to talk about them and claim I can enlighten people about the deeper layers of them (so in scd terms, VCI issues) however I urge you to read RI and discover and appreciate these gems yourself. Speaking of RI itself...

It also is such a delight to see where RI is right now, a genre defining MONUMENTAL achievement that is needed for all cultivation and XianXia writers to read and learn from, just like lord of the rings and other all time classics (for their respective genre. Obviously). I know I will yearn for 2335 for the rest of my days, but I'm genuinely happy I could even read to this point of this otherworldly work of art. Thank you gu zhen ren for these 6 months. Thank you
