Lord-Building Stories With a Slow Growth Arc, No Unique Troop Type from the Start
Not the kind where it's all “from the start, the only hidden unit” and “SSS-rank talent,” then the protagonist is ridiculously powerful from the start with everyone losing their intelligence. I'd like some clever mind games instead.

That jinx has a knack for ruining his teammates. Whenever a newcomer arrives, they must mock the main character, and the main character must beat them up and let it go. The newcomer must harbor resentment in their eyes. 😅
It's pretty good. I've seen many reviews saying the protagonist is a bit too saintly! He gets quite ruthless towards the newcomers later on. The beginning feels realistic; he's unfamiliar with the place and the conflicts arising from upgrading his territory are normal, since he did make mistakes. Maybe many people just enjoy the constant killing from the beginning!
It's obvious that this novel is a good book; it's top-tier on Tomato Books. Upon reaching Chapter 32, the problem arose. Karl didn't stand up for the protagonist; he was acting in his own self-interest. This portrayal seems intended to suggest the protagonist's naivety and immaturity. After all, the author couldn't possibly share the same views as the protagonist to depict Karl so vividly.
I've read over a hundred chapters so far, more than halfway through, and I'm a little reluctant to finish. It's a very good mystery novel; it's not too cryptic and confusing, nor is it too simplistic and lacking in substance. It strikes a perfect middle ground.
Who would have thought that a 6-point work would turn out to be a potential masterpiece? The entire text is flawless, with no logical loopholes, and the plot is self-consistent. It has a feel similar to fantasy novels from Qidian.com, and the author's writing is excellent.
It's pretty good. I've seen some people say it's overly sentimental, but I've reached the last chapter now and there's really nothing wrong with it. The protagonist is a normal, conscientious person with a conscience, and he grows step by step. As long as it doesn't fall apart later on, I'll keep reading.
First of all, I think the character design and setting of this book are above average. The author updates very frequently 🥰, which is also a major factor in giving it four stars. However, many plot designs are really bad, whether it's the old Hans or the current Aiden. It's not that you can't write such "clowns", but the authors' plot portrayal of them is a bit poor.
It's very well written, but among the lord-themed novels I've read, it's not quite a top-tier work. Some say the protagonist is a bit of a saint, but I don't think so. The protagonist's actions are entirely based on human nature and reason. Facing the unknown and confusion, one person can't go far alone, so the protagonist's actions are very reasonable.
The fast-paced, quick-fire series of small and large conflicts keeps you focused, and the character design and combat mechanics are decent, giving it a bit of a game-like progression feel. It's just that Lao Tzu's constant use of Eastern dialect is a bit jarring. And have you forgotten your inspirational skills?! [What?!]
The beginning was amazing, mainly the concept; it was really imaginative and novel. However, there are some shortcomings and flaws, mainly during the territory upgrade phase. But I can understand the author; it seems "very realistic." The early stages of the monster invasion involve internal strife, then the mid-to-late stages shift towards "unity."
