The Retired Life of the Demon Cult Leader

Why can't my fame grow?

Support! Hope it doesn't get abandoned! It's so hard to find good, invincible novels these days. Besides Cat Sister's and that terrible Star Fantasy novel, this author's works seem to be the best. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

I saved it up for days and it's gone again 😭 I'm so mad!

The plot will reach its climax at the Lantern Festival banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This post is just a warm-up. First of all, as a harem novel (not really), Mei Qianxiao already has many fleshed-out female characters around her. Among them, some have died, some are true heroines, a dazzling array that's hard to distinguish.

The plot and the ambiguous relationships are well-written. However, the protagonist's suffering is incredibly frustrating. Why does the author love NTR so much? So many female characters are almost raped?! Every time I see this, I want to drop the book. Evoking emotions is fine, but this repeated abuse is unacceptable. I'm not a cuckold. I strongly advise against the author depicting these scenes; for me, it's toxic!

Nowadays, unless it's a "feel-good" novel, who would read this kind of book on Qidian? Without skillful writing, it will only appeal to a niche audience. The complex character relationships and the agonizingly dramatic plot twists, supposedly meant to deepen and elevate the novel, will only become toxic elements in the eyes of many online novel readers.

Now I finally understand why this book wasn't popular. The beginning was pretty good, but it got way too self-indulgent... And then it just started spouting nonsense.

I'm a fairly long-time reader, having quit a while ago but coming back today. The reason I quit was... Well, there was this female supporting character, the one with the mask, who had a flirtatious relationship with the protagonist. She was a princess or something, and she was almost raped (down to her undergarments), then rescued by someone else (who saw her naked), and then fell for that person.

Author, let me explain why this novel isn't becoming a hit. 1. Your story has too much foreshadowing in the early stages and involves a lot of suffering for the main character. Nowadays, it's not good to write stories that involve suffering for the main character. 2. The writing lacks tension and fails to draw the reader's emotions and interest to the desired point; it's also too weak.

It was so frustrating to read. The whole plot was so depressing. I don't care if it's enjoyable or not. But the protagonist is just too pitiful. Is this what they call a depressing story?
