This kind of story, which combines martial arts and ferocious beasts, might be better suited for a fantasy genre. Most readers prefer stories based on *Dream of the Red Chamber*, especially those with a theatrical or literary style. I think the author's pacing is quite good; a fantasy or high-martial arts setting would be better. Without subtle emotions and rich cultural elements, *Dream of the Red Chamber* would hardly stand out.
The outline of the work is good. There's too much history to cover. If it weren't so messy, It is a good book.
So far, it's very good and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I'm giving it five stars as encouragement. If the author continues to update, I'll definitely keep reading.
The writing is alright, but it would be better if the historical events were more concise. They're a bit overshadowing the main content and could lower the overall reading experience. Overall, the writing is quite organized. The later chapters could increase the emphasis on military and court affairs. It's over 500 chapters now, and the groundwork laid so far is pretty much complete.
That's fine. Since it's a martial arts world, then it's all about individual strength. I don't think there's any need for titles or honors. Just level up by grinding, and wouldn't it be better to secretly execute enemies? Like castrating Jia Zhen or something.
It's well-written, but there's too much historical analysis, making it feel like a textbook, which detracts from the main plot.
It's great, much better than other similar products.
It's well-written, but the explanations could be shorter, since it's a novel, not a science article.
To be honest, the author's writing style is quite good! It's just that the subject matter wasn't chosen well.
This book sounds good, it's interesting, and the main character is amazing!
