The Shame of Knighthood

The writing is natural, the characterization is excellent, and while it features a Western fantasy world, the descriptions and subsequent developments avoid falling into the trap of overused Japanese Western fantasy. It has a strong flavor of classic European chivalric romances.

This is an exceptionally excellent Western fantasy adventure novel. Unlike the currently popular Japanese Western fantasy, its story is deeper and more profound, yet it doesn't lack fantasy and suspense. It reminded me of the nights I spent playing The Witcher 3 alone years ago. The gradual unfolding of the story and the gradual revelation of the truth were captivating. It's truly an honor to witness the legendary adventure of a great knight.

It's something you have to savor slowly to appreciate its beauty, like enjoying a cup of fragrant tea in the quiet of the night.

This should be the true face of Tomato's work; he's unearthed real gold in the market, surpassing many novels on the market. Or rather, he's no longer just a web novelist; he's halfway into the realm of popular fiction. Before even reading the first chapter, his powerful control of language had already captivated me. My first impression was: Am I reading a novel?

A unique absurd aesthetic, a dark and slow-burning Western fantasy, a niche and unique stream-of-consciousness work with top-notch imagery and atmosphere, strong visuals, not a monster-slaying, level-up action novel, with a high reading threshold.

Actually, this is the best Western fantasy novel I've read on Tomato, it's a pity not many people read it, while historical novels are read by a lot of people 😅

Diagnosed as: A fantasy before dying from playing a mind game 😏 Waaah, I want to see more of Xiao Gao's XP, blindness, and the like.

The world-building is quite good, and I like the values, but the characters... Well, it's written in a rather stream-of-consciousness style, so I personally think the character development is a bit thin (compared to some other excellent works I've read before; the character development in this work is better than most online novels).

It's very good, I came from the author's Douyin (TikTok), but unfortunately I read it rather slowly and haven't seen that particular segment yet.

Tomato's writing style is definitely among the best, and its style differs significantly from mainstream online novels.
