Way of the Devil

Qidian Translations has a lot of controversy flying around right now. But I'm gonna ignore all of the fuss and just read.

Way of the Devil is a promising read, only 16 chapters out, but it has an immersive quality to it that reminds me of Founder of Diabolism. Another great supernatural read. Think the Winchester brothers without the western influence of angels and demons.

Our hero is an ordinary rich layabout until one day he confirms the truth of his world, there are supernatural predators out there and he is defenseless against them. He is a world jumper - an ordinary salary man in his last life, and now he must shape up or die a miserable death. This world is full of monsters. His best friend's entire family is slaughtered in one night and there are no human suspects.

The only cheat he owns is Deep Blue, a code breaker he developed for a video game, that crosses over with him. And it eats a lot of his energy every time he uses it.

I'm expecting quality here, cause the beginning was so bombastic. Fingers crossed. Keep reading.
