Hey, Can I Borrow Your Demon Core to Stay Alive?

(Author choking back tears) You're not dead, are you? #(Tears)

I hope the protagonist of the next book will be more like the supremely benevolent, pure, and loving Demon King.

Has the author stopped updating?

Where's the new book? And why can't I find the book club? #(Crying)

Do you have a book club group?

It's too hard to copy.

Who's going to get me the bear I'm missing? 😡

Sigh, what's 💊's new book?

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems. There's a book called "Beginning Immortality by Slaying Demons and Monsters," but I wonder who borrowed from whom.

This book is actually one of those that's a pity. It had exposure and achievements, a good subject matter, and plenty of exciting moments. The author is also a seasoned writer with accumulated experience. However, the whole book is too monotonous. The author has the ability but doesn't realize it; in other words, he didn't put enough effort into this book, and he didn't put in far too little thought and thought. The characters are readily available and usable; many are merely tools with no emotional connection. The protagonist is also a one-dimensional character, so thin he resembles a system, an AFK system. He recklessly charges into anything he deems inconvenient. While the early dungeons have some design, the later stages become an endless cycle of demon-dialogue-kill-transition. The number of supporting characters increases, but only one or two are truly memorable. The combat system is haphazardly written, basically just leveling up and stacking boxes. The social system and character relationships are even more disastrous, almost entirely lacking explanation. Romance is subservient to combat power; all women are only there because the protagonist is strong enough or because they were saved and are grateful, except for the dog, who is treated like a pet or daughter. The whole thing is a hodgepodge, the kind of formulaic stuff you find in a student cafeteria, a haphazard mess made by a numb cook. To make it more stimulating, they added a lot of chili peppers and MSG; it's okay in small amounts, but too much leaves a bitter taste on your tongue. The author also has his own perverse sense of humor. In some stories, the protagonist condemns others for infidelity or filial impiety, but never addresses the underlying issues; instead, he kills them. He often plays the role of a bully, portraying himself as the one constantly bothering the other party and showing impatience. Examples include Huanhuan's moral decay, Susu's cunning, Madam Hua's manipulation of her to kill her husband and turn her into a puppet, and the protagonist's indifference and impatience in the power struggles among multiple women. Finally, here's what some readers might want to know: Does the protagonist accept homosexuals? No, some people say the author doesn't want to write about homosexuality, but there are actually ambiguous scenes. The protagonist identifies as a man, but he never confirms it or takes responsibility. Is there any connection between the main character and the cover? The images used for reference are both humanoid robots, but they are completely unrelated. Was the book enjoyable to read? Yes, it was. As long as you don't care about the plot holes, it's a standard "enjoyable" novel; just read it without thinking. Will the female character from the previous post-production episode reappear? Or will she fade into oblivion? Does the protagonist suffer setbacks? Will there be any instances of the protagonist being abused? In the parts I've read, it's basically a story of constant killing, even defeating opponents far stronger than themselves; it's almost becoming an invincible story that isn't actually an invincible one.
