Summary

The protagonist Liu Li possesses the power of gods and demons yet carries human desires, moving through a cruel world staged around the 'Asura Bus' and 'stations.' Bound to Xin by a contractual magical treasure, he forms a squad with teammates Ash, Sanshi, Kelly, and Linfeng and heads to the Black Rift on a mission. On the way they cross dwarven ruins and the Moria caverns, facing threats from orcs, half-beasts, and goblins, while tensions of trust and interest simmer within the squad. Liu Li behaves eccentrically and is unpredictable in mood, constantly creating conflict between fighting and traveling. The story begins from the premise that death is the beginning, unfolding an endless journey of battle as an asura.

Editor's review

This book suits readers who enjoy dark fantasy, superpowered combat, and unconventional protagonists. Its highlights are the unique premise of the "Asura bus" and Liu Li, a contradictory figure with odd principles, a venomous tongue, ruthless hands, yet a firm bottom line. The squad members each have their quirks, and their interactions crackle with caustic black humor. The flaws are equally clear: early dialogue is quite explicit, the pacing is loose, there is a lot of trivial description during travel, and the main plot advances slowly, making it less friendly to readers used to brisk leveling-up narratives.

Reading tips

  1. Read chapter zero and chapter one first to see whether you can accept Liu Li's way of speaking and behaving before deciding whether to continue.
  2. Treat setups such as the 'Asura Bus,' 'exclusive station,' and 'contractual magical treasure' as key points and watch how the author uses rules to create conflict.
  3. You can skim travel and daily bickering passages and focus on squad relationships and the Black Rift mission main line.
