So far, there aren't any major problems. The story is clear, and the protagonist isn't idiotic. The power-ups are reasonable, and he even recruits subordinates. Finally, it's not the kind of story where the protagonist transmigrates with a cheat system, gets rich easily, and doesn't even have to worry about getting killed halfway through. 😂😂😂
This is truly a great ancient-style fantasy novel. What's most valuable is the author's control over the plot and the smooth pacing of the protagonist's growth. Actually, this type of ancient system novel has been overdone; I've read hundreds of them. I can't even be bothered to review most of them—they're all plagiarism, sugar-coated stories, and full of cheesy plots.
This book has a few flaws, but it's still well-written, especially the protagonist's decisive and ruthless actions later on, which are incredibly satisfying. I'm hooked on it! The book places a lot of importance on reputation, but I feel the protagonist doesn't quite manage it well. Even when he's fully developed, he's still sleeping with his daughter-in-law, but later, when he becomes a small landlord, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
It perfectly reflects my current state of mind: unemployed at home, eating only one meal a day. The theme is old-fashioned, but the descriptions are still vivid. It vividly portrays the struggles of life and death among the lower classes and the nouveau riche nature of time travelers.
Interestingly, the male lead genuinely eats meat (a euphemism for sex), he doesn't pretend to.
This is a time-travel story with a shopping mall. Up to chapter 400, there's no pretentious showing off or face-slapping. The male lead is a real dog when he says "dog," he's not a saint, but genuinely cunning, hypocritical, ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He truly seeks revenge, and to an extreme degree.
To be honest, this rating is really low; it should be at least 8.6 Or higher. It doesn't just mindlessly chase thrills; instead, it steadily and logically develops the plot step by step. While the author's writing style is somewhat immature, the details are well-developed, making for a truly enjoyable read overall. I hope the author maintains a good update schedule! 👍👍👍
I gave it five stars. There are less than 1/30 novels I'd follow. The author is decisive in killing characters and doesn't drag out the process of recruiting female characters. Overall, this novel is of high quality. I hope the author updates frequently; I will support them! ✊
I listened to the whole thing, and I felt the first half was much more interesting than the second half. Many things were explained in great detail and with a lot of depth. The latter half felt more like a chronological account, which greatly reduced its appeal. But overall, it was still quite good, considering I listened to the whole thing. 🍉
This is a middle-aged man's fantasy: to command respect outside the home and have numerous lovers at home, making both wives and young girls unable to resist his charms. The writing is decent, and the logic is coherent. If it were any other time, with a few extra embellishments, it could have easily topped the charts for "Little Imperial Uncle" (a popular online novelist).
