The key things are absolutely no romance, no teammates, and a smart protagonist with decent combat skills. No saintly protagonist.

This book is truly excellent, especially the part depicting Lu Bu's epic battle with Sun Wukong over Diao Chan. However, Xue Baochai was incredibly powerful; had it not been for Darius's outer-range attack and Noxus Guillotine, that M4 6x scope spray would have been fatal.
The writing is good, without the excessive descriptions typical of Tomato (a popular Chinese writer). I suspect it's an alternate account created by an extraterrestrial demon. The plot has no major flaws, is neither dragging nor overly detailed, making it a comfortable read. The protagonist's first female companion is a female Taoist priest who has practiced the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" 😳
It has the thrill of wish fulfillment and wildly imaginative plots, and the logic is fairly sound; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. The only downside is that some scenes were toned down to pass censorship, but it's still worth recommending.
The Legend of King Yama has some details that aren't handled very well, but the main focus of this book is the fake eunuch's chaos in the harem. It's a pity that more details couldn't be included, because I've seen other stories that describe scenes of incest much better—not crossing the line, but still better than glossing over them, and they haven't been banned yet. (Main pack, main pack, I want to read this! (⊙O⊙))
Great! 👍 No obvious flaws. Five-star review!
This is a gem among harem novels. I feel it deserves at least an 8.5, Maybe even a 9. The characters are intelligent and well-developed, the plot is logical, and the writing is detailed. Overall, it's excellent.
I have to say, this is truly a level 5 veteran driver 😏 The plot and writing are both quite good, no problems at all.
It's a good watch. The main character has a very free-spirited personality, and the plot flows naturally and smoothly, making it very comfortable to read. The character's actions, especially the romantic advances, are decisive and don't stall the pace. However, the main character is a bit hypocritical; he's domineering and controlling towards some women, while fawning over others.
The Green Emperor's combat power increased later on, and the overall plot was engaging. I've seen many people complaining about the concubine finding male lovers; does it really have to be written like in ancient Chinese novels? As long as it's enjoyable, that's fine.
The earlier chapters were indeed well-written and I recommend reading them. Chapter 53 is the first instance of the poison being used. The earlier chapters were quite good and worth reading. The reason for the poison is stated directly: it's an opportunity for the Empress to bring down the Consort. There's a lecherous thief among the Consort's faction, which the protagonist catches.
