The Great Dao Crucible: From the Start, a Prince's Heir Plots to Seize the Throne

The plot is quite interesting, and the protagonist's mindset is truly unique—he's vengeful! That's right. You're not weak and helpless; you're capable of thinking for yourself, so you must be decisive and ruthless. Thumbs up to the author!

After reading seven chapters, the protagonist's personality is quite interesting; at least he doesn't let his enemies cause trouble before finally killing them. There's just one flaw. You mentioned the protagonist's father was both scholarly and martial, yet there's this added favoritism towards his illegitimate son—it makes no sense at all.

Highly recommended! The male protagonist is very clear-headed and focused solely on improving his strength. Recommended for those who prefer novels with no or only one female lead. The author possesses excellent cultural literacy and writes exceptionally well. The female characters are fleshed out and have their own distinct personalities.

This novel is a rare gem in recent years, with the protagonist a paragon of "human clarity." The opening scene, a meticulously crafted intricate plot, immediately grabs the reader's attention. The protagonist's insightful eyes seem to see through all pretense, each move precisely striking at the opponent's Achilles' heel.

It's not bad. I don't read books in detail, so I don't remember names and details. I only focus on the writing style and plot, which are both good. I don't really like the protagonist's mother character. I feel like removing her wouldn't affect the story, but it's also frustrating that if he removed her, his father would just bring Liu into the mansion.

Having read over 80 chapters, here's my review. A rating of 7 points is definitely too low. It's a fairly good novel. First, let's talk about the strengths and weaknesses. There's no mindless boasting and face-slapping, no outdated plot points, and it's not the self-indulgent kind. It's a story of a seemingly weak protagonist using his genius status to conceal his extraordinary nature.

I only noticed so many low ratings after finishing the serialized version and checking the reviews, all accusing it of being a female-oriented novel. Seriously, did this guy even finish the whole thing? I couldn't resist writing a review. All the main characters are well-developed and vividly portrayed, each one fleshed out.

The male lead's character is great, and the plot is fantastic. The only downside is that the cultivation levels are too jarring and difficult to immerse oneself in. Personally, I prefer the more accessible Qi Refining and Golden Core stages... These cultivation levels feel grounded in thousands of years of Chinese cultural heritage, giving them a sophisticated and profound feel. 👍

Overall, it's not bad, right? But there's too much scheming and intrigue in the fantasy world. It needs more development; I haven't seen many battles yet.

This is arguably the most compelling protagonist I've ever seen on Tomato Book. The author's writing is superb, though flawed, the merits outweigh the shortcomings. What I hate most are those characters who transmigrate/reincarnate in ancient/fictional worlds, holding high positions while using modern perspectives to flaunt their superiority. I don't know what those authors were thinking or what their mindset was when they wrote it; they were probably just putting on a show. 💦 Author ⛽️⛽️⛽️
