The Evil Alchemist's Life, Beginning with Finding a Mad Sword Princess

It seems the author went to preach at 7 PM.

It was amazing before it was released. It featured a battle of wits with the Holy Church from afar, using all sorts of forbidden spells, and even finding a beautiful female hero. After it was released, I advised the guards to abandon their guards and run away (a series of actions as fierce as tigers, but in the end, they just ran away). They encountered a powerful commentator who knew everything and sealed the hero's memories in the process (I thought we were going to start a monster and end that ginseng fruit that had harmed so many people). This commentator, who was essentially just a tool, completely ruined the Holy Church's prestige with his commentary, and all the eerie atmosphere built up along the way vanished... I thought that after escaping the valley, I would reach the outside of the empire. However, I was repeatedly chased and ambushed along the way, which was incredibly exciting. Along the way, I captured several prisoners and tortured them to find out the hero's background, in order to find a solution. After reaching the outside of the empire, I lived a wonderful life of adventure, making money, refining medicine, and gradually leveling up. As a result, I bought a large oxcart and encountered a crazy old man who directed me to a guide. The guide explained everything in detail, but in short, I was disappointed...

The later episodes were poorly planned; some scenes should have been cut and given to the ending instead. (You know what I mean.)

The beginning was quite good. Given the terrible world-building, I initially thought the protagonist would rely on some kind of cheat code to rise to power and single-handedly defeat the entire world. Later, I realized it was a classic Western fantasy trope, which wasn't unacceptable. However, around chapters 400-500, it started getting ridiculously padded, making it painful to read. If you skipped a small plot point, you couldn't even finish it; if you skipped too many, you forgot everything that had been said earlier. The later plot felt like it was all about completing missions; you could basically guess the ending from the beginning, and the transitions were unnatural. Around chapter 500, I forgot everything from the earlier plot and gave up. Judging from the comments, the ending seemed rushed, probably because there were too many foreshadowing elements that were difficult to resolve. Hopefully, the author's new book will improve.

There's not enough sugar, I'm not full! #(Sweat)

If you haven't read the book, don't read the character introductions in the prologue, and don't open the clipboard either, as it contains spoilers and will ruin the experience. #(Sad)

I watched it all in one go, and I personally thought it was pretty good. The text reads smoothly without any difficult parts, making it perfect for passing the time. The ending was a bit rushed, but it was still alright and watchable.
