    The first book is a masterpiece of mystery, but it's not entirely a mystery novel; it's more like dissecting the world. The second book is a masterpiece of swearing; those who can't swear can learn from it. The third book, with its spear-wielding teacher, is hilarious. The others are all decent reads.

    The general style is somewhere between Konosuba and Mushoku, a humorous, not overly serious, semi-satisfying anime/manga style. It's also like traditional literature disguised as web novels. 7.9/10. The pacing in the middle is good, it could be 8.5, But the first two volumes are a bit slow. The plot is quite good, some parts are a bit silly (but still reasonable); the narrative writing needs improvement, the dialogue scenes are okay, and the action scenes are very intense and detailed. But it's still not enough to be called a masterpiece with a 9, it needs improvement—Over the eight volumes, it paves the way for Ebony's return to humanity, unfolding the cruelty and vibrancy of this world layer by layer. The narrative focus never deviates from "humanity". The battle descriptions are solid, and the author has a sense of physical deduction. Hua's domain structure logic and Nara's Dark Moon Magic leveling the royal city both have clear rules and causal chains. In the eighth volume, Ebony disrupts Gaius's rhythm by "shortening the single pause to activate more frequently", a truly thoughtful design. But the writing style is slightly lacking. —The protagonist, Xia Wumu, isn't an overpowered protagonist from the start; his power grows alongside a resurgence of humanity: from viewing humanity as a mere task to risking his life for his companions, wife, and children in the eighth volume, the transformation is traceable. The female lead? Yumu Peng isn't just a pretty face; she has dreams, talent, and resilience. Their relationship develops naturally through repeated battles together, rather than being forced. The supporting characters are equally compelling: Stan's transformation from adventurer to avenger, the destruction of the Dragon Claw Heroes, Harry's sacrifice and the secret of the immortals—each subplot carries weight. The villains aren't stereotypical either. Emperor Gaius's tyranny is underpinned by his twisted logic of "unifying the four lands and expelling the alien races," Al Kikuma's loyalty is purely pragmatic, and Nor IV's battlefield command is commendable. This "different stances rather than simple evil" adds depth to the conflict. A reflection on war runs throughout: the abduction of women by the deformed beastmen, the empire's enslavement and exclusion of demi-humans, the infiltration of local communities by the six desires, and the displacement of civilians. The lizard-like demi-human's line, "Either way, I'm going to die; even if my wife escapes, she'll still die," perfectly encapsulates the desperate situation of the weak. — Of course, the work also has room for improvement. Some everyday scenes feel somewhat loose, and the motivations of a few supporting characters are explained rather hastily. But overall, it's a work with a solid world-building, believable characters, and a profound core message.
