This is a typical coming-of-age story, with the same formula and plot points. But the idea of imperial guards executing people on orders is just so appealing. The author is quite talented; the writing is smooth and concise. There aren't many memorable supporting characters, but that's not crucial for this type of novel, and it might be a strategy by the author to play to their strengths.
A proper male-oriented author, it's quite enjoyable to read, not too toxic, and so far the power levels haven't been suppressed. A standard "feel-good" story, I personally think it's good. The beginning was pretty good, quite entertaining, and I was happily reading it when the laughter stopped. It's not that the writing is terrible now, but it's just getting boring, and I've started skipping around. 🤦
This is a great book. It features a protagonist who takes pleasure in killing, slaughtering thousands without batting an eye. I've always thought that among the many characters in novels who travel to other worlds, some must be completely out of place. The upright naked apes of Earth are inherently ferocious.
Since we already have the Karmic Lotus, shouldn't we add Karmic Fire to the skills, creating a skill that deals more damage the heavier the enemy's karma? After all, if a person has karma, then Karmic Fire can burn them! 😏 [Got it][Think about it]
While the daily routines may seem perfunctory, the difference lies in the author's emphasis. The overall plot structure is smooth and humorous, demonstrating the author's understanding of the nuances of language. Therefore, even with similar themes, the author's skillful writing has made it a rare gem. Further exploration of this book will undoubtedly yield positive results. Keep up the good work, author!
The score is definitely too low! The "golden finger" mechanic isn't new, but the overall concept is excellent. The map is clearly vast, with foreshadowing from the beginning, and everyone has access to cultivation! The introduction of gods and demons in the mid-to-late game is layered and logically clear, and the protagonist's intelligence is undeniable. Having read more than half of it, it's definitely a rare gem!
Indeed, being a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is merely a tool for killing; if you offend someone, you can simply kill another batch and escape to become a villain. The protagonist's mindset is well-written.
A rare and enjoyable read. The downside is that you shouldn't bring certain settings into this book, such as the Imperial Guards. This book is more like a police station with some Imperial Guard elements. The entire piece is logical and clear. Currently, there's only one continent, which gives a slightly oppressive feeling, but it's handled quite well.
High quality, medium quality, good-looking, interesting, and funny.
The plot is interesting, and each chapter has a good amount of text. Those who say it suppresses combat power are just talking nonsense, saying things like the villain system levels up quickly, without considering that the protagonist's cheat ability is to level up quickly by killing a lot of bad guys. What is that then? It's a righteous cheat ability!
