Unfortunately I can't rate it much higher because:
a) There's a lot of instances where the story flashes back to past events but the transition between past and present is clunky and left me scratching my head trying to figure out what happened where and when (even with a timeline of everything explained to me).
b) This is an extremely minor nitpick but there are so many instances Wei Wuxian is described as laughing or cackling in response to a lot of situations. This wouldn't be so bad if it was one or two situations but I feel like it's overdone to the point it feels like if anything mildly amusing happens, he'll be cackling like a hyena.

I’ll probably continue this series because those two certainly got to me. There were scenes I adored in this book, like the flashback chapter, and I hope there will be more for me to love in the next books. (and i should actually look at the glossary more instead of going “eeeh i’ll figure it out. i did, in fact, not figure it out)

Him saying
The fact that Wei Wuxian keeps joking around about liking men early in the volume and then later ends up with a man is just so much fun lol. He was so funny throughout most of the volume.
If you don't want a slow burn with a LOT of plot, this isn't the series for you! I love what's going on though. There's so much.
I only had a couple of issues with this first volume:
- Wei Wuxian drinks Emperor's Smile and says he never got to have it when he was younger but in the flashback, he did? Not a big deal, but it irked me a bit.
- Lan Wangji tells this long ass story explaining a lot about a specific incident. I would have much rather gotten that information spread out.
