Flower of Dark Fantasy
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you. Transmigrate to another world, and you face a choice: farm or conquer, become a mage or a knight. Those are the questions. Fantasy is mainly divided into two kinds: dark horror, and sword and sorcery.
Lords, Farming, Building an Estate, and Pure Fun

I'm picky about what I read. If I like something, I keep reading; if I don't, I might read a little before dropping it. Everyone has different tastes, so don't take offense. These are just recommendations. Feel free to see if any appeal to you.

His past life was illogical; a second-generation rich kid couldn't become a frivolous, good-for-nothing. Moreover, his shrewd parents left no backup plan or prepared anything for their good-for-nothing son. Truly, no one knows a child better than their mother.
Let me share my thoughts after watching it. I lost interest after the beginning. A city of 1000 people, 200 soldiers? Haha, that's an average of one in five people being a soldier. The beginning was completely mindless, which made it seem uninteresting. The world-building was flawed from the start. How could humanity keep expanding sky cities and increasing their number after losing land?
Upon reaching the end, I suddenly realized this was an unfinished novel?! And it was even completed?! I can only silently block the author... Goodbye.
Does anyone still read movies with a protagonist who's a saint? She doesn't even kill a rebel! And she says killing is the ultimate means? Author, you're something else. So adorable.
I don't know what happens later, but I said I couldn't continue reading after reading the beginning. The beginning was bad enough, but there was also a lot of description of mechs and other random things. And isn't this a lord novel?
As the city lord, your mentality is still that of a nobody. You only feel comfortable when your personal maid calls you by your name. Are you lacking in intelligence? Your status is what it is. No matter how good the relationship is, which subordinate in any dynasty would dare to call the emperor by his name?
It all feels really weird. Your novel is supposed to depict a post-apocalyptic, newly rebuilt civilization, so why are there still nobles? What gives them the right to enjoy a ruling position? This new order should be based on strength and ability, since humans wouldn't follow incompetent rulers just to survive. And yet, in your novel, powerful demon hunters have to bow to nobles? What a bizarre social view! It's completely illogical!
After reading several dozen chapters, to be honest, this isn't the kind of lord-themed novel I like. There's too little detailed background description; eight or nine out of ten chapters are about armor. To put it simply, the few dozen chapters I've read are basically a mecha novel disguised as a lord-themed story, which feels a bit off.
The premise is pretty awesome, really! It's just that the pacing of the story is really problematic; it's too scattered, making it hard to follow the main plot. It feels like the book has no outline at all. I only read up to chapter 30 before giving up. I don't know how the later chapters turned out, maybe they were better, but it's no use. If you can't grab everyone's attention in the crucial first three chapters, it's hard to achieve any significant success.
The subject matter is alright, but the author...! The protagonist lacks character, personality, and ideals! If the protagonist isn't sidelined by the end, it's the author's fault! The structure and background are fine, but the writing is too empty and lifeless!
