A placid manhwa good to read after reading “Return of the Mount Hua Sect” or other easier wuxia/oriental fantasies. The story. The story follows typical oriental fantasies (Jianghu, Wulin, etc.) from Mount Hua sect. Just like any other reincarnation manhwas it follows clichés but in an unpredictable way. The story makes sense and is convincing. It rarely depends on luck. The story gets a bit less interesting as it goes to the ending, but the ending was rewarding enough to recommend. There are a lot of archaic terminologies which makes the story harder to understand, which is why I suggest reading this after an introductory manhwa or novel.This is possible because most wuxia novels follow the world made by Jin Yong.

The art.
The art is not the best as it gets boring when there’s a fighting scene. This is not my subjective criticism as this is what most comments were talking about too. However it’s not that bad and it gets better so this wasn’t much of a problem. Most importantly the girls are pretty.

The characters.
The characters are charming and attractive. It was shocking how different the characters were expressed, although they are mostly the characters from the same families in “Return of the Mount Hua Sect” (or other Jin-yong influenced wuxia novels).

Overall it’s a good manhwa better than isekai trash. Placid in how there’s no source of huge dopamine but continuous dopamine.

P.S.
Mistranslation of the title.
The english title is not translated correct as 華山 (hua-san, pretty mountain) has nothing to do with 火山(hua-san, volcano)
Correct translation should be “Reincarnated Disciple of Mount Hua or Past Life at Mount Hua Sect or Reincarnation in Mount Hua Sect.”

Although they are similar there are no plagiarism issues. The elements created by Jin Yong are actually traditional clichés, and copyright protects expression, not ideas. They have already become part of the genre conventions, so anyone can freely use them.
