   This is a genuinely ruthless novel with no misleading synopsis! The protagonist is the only one I've ever read in a cultivation novel who truly cultivates the ruthless path; he's incredibly charismatic. It's just that reading it is a little painful—yes, painful. The protagonists are all ruthless! Broken arms and legs are minor injuries; they casually shatter bones and tear apart primordial spirits—so powerful! All the foreshadowing is resolved. The only minor issue is that the world-building, cultivation level system, etc., Aren't explained. The last few volumes on the immortal realm were a bit confusing. The relationships between the Three Realms, Nine Provinces, Nine Heavens, Sixteen Heavens, Outer Heavens, Endless Heavens, and Void Realm are unclear. The settings for immortal spirits, immortal power, and immortal primordial spirit power are also unclear. I absolutely loved the last volume; it was so heartwarming to read.

   It's alright. The pacing is quite good in the early parts, but it suddenly becomes extremely fast from the second volume onwards, with the plot being rushed through without the leisurely enjoyment of the first volume. The romance is good, but it's not the thrilling "arranged marriage to love" kind of story described in the synopsis; instead, it leans more towards a childhood sweetheart/unrequited love dynamic.

   It's really good, exciting, and captivating! It's a rare type of story these days! The protagonist (uke) is so submissive, while the other protagonist (seme) has a more modern mindset, which leads to a lot of cross-server chatter (a humorous, sometimes intense, conversations). I almost had a heart attack reading it late at night! Everyone says it's sweet, but I feel like there's a greasy undercurrent, sob sob. I feel like in the end they didn't really understand each other's submissiveness and equality, which is a bit unsatisfying. Still, it's great!

    Reading this book was an emotional rollercoaster; one chapter might make you think, "Oh well," and the next, "Wow, this is amazing!" You really, really, really have to finish it; there's a twist right up to the end. The portrayal of family bonds is exceptionally well done, even more so than the main couple's romance. The only downside is the lack of a "heartthrob" trope and a strong friendship element; the supporting characters felt too one-dimensional and underdeveloped. But overall, finishing the book was incredibly satisfying.

    The writing is truly superb; so many scenes were incredibly moving. I felt a little melancholic after finishing the ending, perhaps because it wasn't very sweet.

    It's great! I really liked it! The ending was a little confusing in terms of timeline, but I still understood the general meaning. The overall setting establishes a melancholic tone for the book. Each supporting character is vividly portrayed, some with conflicting emotions, some purely evil, some humorous, some greedy, and some willingly sacrificing themselves for family. Consequently, their stories take up a significant portion of the book. I suggest closing the comments section, as many criticize the author for focusing too much on the supporting characters, and some accuse the female supporting characters of having tragic storylines that seem like female abuse (but personally, I think everyone suffers; there are no winners). Also, while the beginning is indeed quite melodramatic, the ending offers a different interpretation of those dramatic events. I highly recommend reading this book!

    In conclusion: It was very satisfying to watch, with a sense of destiny! Its flaws don't detract from its overall quality; it's definitely worth watching! What I personally perceive as shortcomings: 1. The author's writing style is inconsistent; sometimes when trying to speed things up, it becomes a rambling, outline-like piece. However, the later parts, when conveying a sense of destiny, are quite vivid. Overall, it still scores 80 points. 2. They especially love to spoil plot points in the author's notes! For example, they might write hints or foreshadowing in the story, but then directly reveal the meaning of those foreshadowings in the author's notes for that chapter. If you don't want to be spoiled, remember to turn this off. 3. The protagonist's halo is incredibly strong; everyone else seems to lose their intelligence in their presence. Even the S-rank Executor can't play a significant role (though they become useful later), let alone the other characters in the dungeons, who are mostly idiotic. However, the later dungeons do introduce many well-developed supporting characters. What I like: 1. It has many satisfying and face-slapping scenes, which I enjoy reading. 2. I especially loved the later dungeons, particularly the Ghost Dead Sea. The complex emotions of each character were portrayed in a very three-dimensional way. Even the most hateful person has their pitiable side, which was very well written! The earlier story, "King of Stories," was also well-written, creating a completely different atmosphere from the later dungeons. 3. I like the character development in this book; even the characters with very short appearances are well-developed and three-dimensional. (Except for some idiotic characters created in the early stages for the sake of plot twists). Other: 1. Several instances of the story draw inspiration from works by renowned authors, including Liu Cixin's science fiction, Game of Thrones, and The Box Girls. However, the author simply uses these established concepts to tell their own story, which I personally don't mind. Those who are concerned should proceed with caution. (However, I am somewhat bothered that the author didn't properly credit the use of the concepts of "final producer" and "selling air" in the story, leading to numerous comments praising the author's forward-thinking ideas.)

    Excellent! Many of the political discussions, decisions, and debates in the story are grounded in reality, not just glossed over. It's a very enjoyable and educational read. The power struggles within the family, the court, and the business world are all logically constructed plots based on the perspectives of each party, making it very realistic. The supporting characters are also multifaceted; even the most malicious characters have moments of sound judgment. Those who attacked the protagonist due to differing stances are ultimately used by the protagonist for their own purposes rather than being killed. If you think this kind of plot is overly sentimental and one-dimensional, don't read it. The comments section is full of such people, though it will improve later. The romance has a uniquely literary flair; the protagonist is bold and passionate, while the other is attentive and composed—truly a match made in heaven!
