Synopsis

A game called God’s Crown appeared out of nowhere.

Ten million players from around the world were selected at random to enter. The first players to enter became lords, received territories, and drew corresponding lord talents.

After that, they could invite others into the game to become their subjects.

Supplies from the real world could not be brought into God’s Crown, but supplies from God’s Crown could be taken back to reality...

Water from a Moonwell that could restore youth, crystals with mysterious powers, magic from legend...

When all the lords returned after completing the beginner period, the world was stunned. The lords became the new elite of society...

In his previous life, Chen Luo drew the A-rank talent Dawn. He wasn’t a great power in his own right, but he was still a skilled player. However, after backing the wrong side, his territory was confiscated, and he died in despair.

Given another chance, Chen Luo decided not to get caught up in the turmoil so easily. He would watch from the sidelines as his enemies tore each other apart.

But why was everything already going wrong from the start?

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have drawn the SSS-rank skill: Demon God.]

“Wait, isn’t that the talent of the great demon king who was surrounded and killed in the early-to-mid stages of my previous life?”

“What? Choosing the demon race gives me extra bonuses? And I automatically change class to the hidden profession, Demon King?”

“System, choose the undead race...”

A troop-building conquest story, an invincible protagonist like Ainz Ooal Gown, with powers somewhat like the Night King from Game of Thrones. The protagonist is strong, but after being set up in his previous life, he’s a bit overly cautious at first. Please don’t expect high-risk, high-reward plays. There are no astonishing displays of military strategy, just a straightforward steamroll. If that’s not your thing, don’t read.

Multiple female leads. If that’s not your thing, don’t read.

So classic! Rebirth at the start, top-tier talent, top-tier female heroines, job change and plastic surgery.

It looks pretty cool, kind of like Heroes of Might and Magic, with some setbacks and face-slapping moments later on. Back to reality 🫤 The Dragon King Returns.

A decent alternate history novel set in the Heroes of Might and Magic universe. Those who have played the Scourge version will find it particularly relatable. However, many skill sets and lord talents, specializations, and abilities are a bit chaotic. It's okay for casual reading, though.

At least far superior to the studio-written articles on Tomato, which are all on par with this level. It opened high and then fell.

My favorite novel in the lord genre has two main strengths. First, the boundaries of overpowered abilities are handled very well; the protagonist isn't just putting on a solo act. After all, showing off is for those at the same level. When everyone else is an ant, the protagonist in the center of the stage is just a clown. Second, the troop and resource system is excellent.

I met a 30-year-old woman online. We chatted for over half a year and got along very well. Today she suggested meeting up. I hesitated and said that since she has a family, it didn't feel right. But she said it was fine and we could just be friends, so I agreed. I asked her for a photo, and she looked quite pretty. She lives not far from my city, and we arranged to meet at a bubble tea shop.

It's pretty good. I've read up to chapter 168 so far. There aren't any particularly bad plot points yet, at least not for me. Although the male lead isn't a completely good person, he does have his own bottom line, especially in terms of his integrity, which I really like. He's not the kind of person who easily goes back on his word or whose promises are just empty words.

It's pretty good. It's a survival-of-the-fittest fantasy novel set in another world, not the fast-paced, sweeping, strategically built story. It has its exciting moments, and it doesn't feature individual strength surpassing military might. The core focus is on territory development and expansion. The pacing would be even better if it were a bit faster, considering it's only the second story to reach the end of the month.

The overall pace, or rather the plot, is rather slow. However, I did finish it. The overall logic is quite clear, and the author's character design is decent, leaning towards a cautious style. What I found good was the author's depiction of the army; it was quite satisfying. What I wasn't satisfied with was that the setup felt a bit rudimentary.

Not bad, there's potential. Chen Luo met a 30-year-old woman online. They've been chatting for over half a year and it's always been great. Today she suggested meeting up. I hesitated, saying that since she has a family, it didn't feel right. But she said it was fine, just to be friends, so I agreed. I asked for her photos; she looked quite pretty. She wasn't far from my city.
