I Just Want to Earn Interest

Ugh, this is an old book review. This book is so disgusting it's mind-blowing. First, the protagonist is an orphan, taken in and raised by a sect. He enjoys exclusive access to the sect's resources and spiritual veins for 80 years. Most of his fellow disciples, both senior and junior, have died fighting outside the sect to maintain order and compete for resources.

I learned about this book because it was free for a limited time. In the first few chapters, the male protagonist sneaks into the spiritual vein. Leaving aside the issue of shirking responsibility, what's with stealing all the sect's medicinal herbs?

Wanting to live a life of ease is fine; fear of death is human nature. However, enjoying the sect's resources and cultivation techniques, then cowering when the sect needs you, and even advising others not to risk their lives—is that not being cautious, that's having warped values?

The first few chapters show that the protagonist's values ​​are questionable; portraying a lack of responsibility as mere cowardice is truly despicable! Being incompetent, cowardly, and inactive isn't terrible, but being capable, cowardly, inactive, and ungrateful is! Keep cowardly; most of your senior brothers are already dead.

I read over forty chapters of the novel I was reading today, and I couldn't take it anymore! The later chapters were just filler, the cultivation level still hadn't been unlocked, and there wasn't a single satisfying moment. I'm so frustrated! All he knows is cowardice, yet he calls himself a dog, and a coward at that, enough to drive me crazy.

After reading for a while, I understand why it wasn't recommended. I feel the main reason is that I didn't enjoy reading it. I wanted to see the protagonist take action, but instead, it felt like the protagonist was behind the scenes nurturing his junior disciples. It lacked any excitement, really. This book just didn't feel exciting at all.

Being cowardly and being timid are two different concepts! Being timid means being cautious, always preparing for the worst, and still being assertive when necessary. Being cowardly means being indecisive and always thinking of retreating without doing anything!

I rarely comment on specific books; if the plot is bad, I just drop it. But I really want to say that the protagonist's personality in this book disgusts me 🤫. I couldn't continue reading after a few chapters. The extremely selfish protagonist is practically a freeloader, taking his freeloading for granted.

The protagonist's personality is incredibly unlikable. All his fellow disciples of decades have died, yet he shows no emotion whatsoever (heartless and ungrateful). He takes the abundant resources from his sect for granted (selfish and greedy). His "cowardice" isn't cowardice; without his "brain drain" plot armor, he would have been expelled long ago. No sect would keep a useless person.

Go and see how too steady my senior brother is. Seriously, it's okay if you're a coward, it's okay if you mentor the younger generation, but it's disgusting if you take advantage of others and don't want to fulfill your obligations. I agree that you should be a coward, but that doesn't mean you should be a useless parasite. If you do cause trouble, I think my junior sister is perfectly reasonable to kill their whole family.
