    I've already read desolate era and am currently reading talisman emperor and i see lot of similarities like soul visualization technique, mc character and cultivation. Is there anything else, and who came first, DE or TE?

    I’m not 100% sure but I believe talisman emperor came first.. iirc I had once seen a post where DE was described as a ‘cleaner/more organized’ version of TE with a romance that was just as bad and I couldn’t help but agree to that assessment lol

    the best part of DE for me were the brightmoon sword arts, is there anything similar in TE?

    I haven’t read either in years.. the starsiezing hand and estate world/legacy of a deceased major power who had an unequaled divine ability within the 3 realms was the biggest similarity in both novels, I haven’t read DE in years and dropped TE a few hundred chapters into the story cause of the excessive filler and because although it was called TALISMAN emperor, other than the first few dozen chapters when the mc focused on talismans, he switched his focus to the sword.. that and a few other things that made the story feel like it was all over the place, to me anyway.. I’m not sure if they have any other similarities

    similar but also many different

    If you like a darker tone, you will like DE better

    if you like a lighter tone, you will like Talisman Emperor

    I personally like both of them.

    I already finished reading DE, i'm still reading TE right now

    he start using his talisman expertise, i don't wanna spoilt you guys, but the story is really good

    MC Have powerful sect backing him, even his senior brothers and sisters keep helping him along the way. I love MC who has strong background like TE
