Building Your Own Faction, No Made-Up Backstory: Urban Supernatural Changes
Urban fantasy where spiritual energy suddenly awakens, and strange phenomena, exotic beasts, and so on appear. The protagonist knows what's coming in advance, or is still at an early stage, and secretly builds a faction that gradually reveals its strength without showing all its cards. None of that ridiculous drama about a little sister.

Four stars, I'm deducting one because there were no patent fees or protection period. The protagonist created the Seven Nailhead Arrows, but Ling Jie discovered it so quickly. After discovering it, she bought the materials and had other curse masters forge them. If this gets back to the Fierce Tiger Gang, won't they use this as a starting point to find the culprit?
Is there no patent protection for the "natural order" of this world?
🤔You've prepared materials for so many people to advance to Tier 2, and you don't even have enough materials to trade with others for the materials you need to advance to Tier 3? [What?]
I don't know why the rating is so low. Overall, it's not bad. I think 4 stars would be a good choice. Minor flaws: 1. In the early stages, the author spent too much time helping useless groups earn resources, which likely caused a loss of readers. 2. I've always been puzzled by one thing: why doesn't the protagonist's world need to develop agriculture? It's constantly plundering.
It's finished. Overall, reading this book left me with a feeling of being neither satisfied nor willing to give up. The entire text felt somewhat unemotional, like a machine devoid of emotion, with very few emotional ups and downs. Perhaps this is because of the existence of Soul Masters in the Emperor's World, which diluted emotions.
Among a sea of formulaic novels, this is one of the few readable ones. The others are either saintly protagonists, seeking revenge, or characters with exceptionally strong minds—classic examples of sacrificing parents to save a younger sister, being dumped immediately after transmigrating, starting as an SSS-rank character who shocks the world, or starting with a broken engagement and a rise from the ashes…😅😅😅😅😅😅
The book's subject matter was quite novel, but unfortunately it wasn't well-written. What a pity! If this kind of book could describe the complete method of creating, using, and limiting curses (not only could it be used for filler text, but it could also improve one's literary skills, hehe ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ).
It's a masterpiece. At first, I didn't think much of it, and I even gave up on it for a while. But the more I read, the more I appreciated it. It's the kind of work that you can enjoy slowly and that keeps getting better. Even if you give up on it for a while, you'll always remember it after some time. It's a very unique system; each chapter is quite long, around 6000 words, and the plots are all very different—it's very imaginative.
With its novel subject matter, fluent writing style, and absence of toxicity, darkness, or clichés, this book deserves five stars! The protagonist is cunning and ruthless, having already killed hundreds of warriors just by awakening his profession. Later, in order to upgrade his resources, he secretly killed countless other professionals, especially the sixth one, who has a clear goal and usually pretends to be an innocent rabbit.
As you should know from the first few chapters, the protagonist, the embodiment of the essence of witchcraft, while others at the first level use curse energy to curse others, is already able to create rule-based artifacts to cast curses.
