It's clear the author has talent; it's just that this style isn't popular with Tomato (a popular Chinese novelist). In today's fast-paced world, it's rare to find a novel that "slows down," though there aren't many of them. Author, keep updating!
Keep it up! I "personally" think that if it doesn't fall apart later on, it could become a masterpiece—at least in my opinion. Please don't criticize or argue with me; after all, it's just my personal opinion of a masterpiece. [Understood][Understood][Understood]
The writing style is good, and it was quite engaging. However, the story is a bit chaotic, relying too much on cryptic dialogue and deliberately disjointed flashbacks, leaving the reader to figure it out. The early parts felt directionless and overly confident, jumping from one topic to another, leaving many plot holes that are unclear whether they can be resolved. Furthermore, a large portion of the book is devoted to explanations.
It's a very good story, and the author is also a very good narrator. The writing style is ordinary, but like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, each piece is quite simple, but together they are captivating and amazing.
Don't pay attention to those malicious comments; after all, it's Tomato (the author of this book), those who know, know. I feel the writing style of this book is really good, and it's a great read. I really like this book, and I hope the author can continue to do well and not let others affect their writing mood.
Keep it up! It's very well written and worth reading, but it's a bit verbose. The author could try to make it more concise.
It's beautiful, but I wish I had more screen time for my little princess 😏
It's good, I'm too lazy to list the advantages. If you like sword stories, you can check it out. Although the writing isn't that great, it's much better than many of Tomato's light novels. If you like fast-paced stories, you can skip it. There aren't many exciting moments. It's an ensemble piece, but it's not quite there yet. Author, keep it up! I really like the character Wang Moyan, hurry up and find him a husband!
Regarding the end of this book, I can only say it's truly... A real shame. The book employs a narrative technique of selecting a main storyline and numerous subplots, each of which is exquisitely crafted and intellectually stimulating. However, the sheer number and complexity of the subplots, like a well-made stew, somewhat obscures the main plot.
I thought this book would be the kind with sharp wit and fast-paced action, but it turned out to be more slice-of-life. It's not my usual type, yet I still enjoyed it. The descriptions of the setting and background are quite good.
