This is definitely a SCIENCE fiction book. I felt dumb for about 75% of it, but the story and the vibe was amazing.
I especially liked the cultural background and it made me google a lot of Chinese history. I didn't expect this.

There is a lot to love in this book. It’s the perfect combination between sci fi and fantasy, there is some interesting world building, and it sets everything up for a big and epic adventure in the coming books.
There were also some downsides for me. The book has a clunky start and most of the characters were one dimensional. Especially the antagonist is just a basic bad guy. The tropes of the chosen one and going through test trials were really dominating.
It left me behind with the same feeling as I had when finishing Red Rising. But that first book is beloved by a lot of readers and the entire series is turning out to be one of my favorites.
So I will continue on to book 2, because I really believe the best is yet to come.
