All I can say is that it was awesome, really awesome. The kind of awesomeness that you can't tell a newbie would have. Killing the emperor at the start, isn't that exciting? The game didn't fall apart in the crucial part, but the princess part felt a bit off.
The author's vision of a young man is something interested readers can check out.
The author aimed to bring each character to life, dedicating numerous chapters to describing their image. Through the narration of an old man encountered during the escape, the dialogue between the fisherman chasing the protagonist, and several assassins, the author hoped to bring each character to life.
Although greed may cloud judgment, these people shouldn't be let off so easily. Since the world is against them, it's better to be frank and declare: those who acted today will have their entire families wiped out, their ancestral temples exterminated. To let this go unpunished would be to be a hypocrite.
Actually, the writing is alright. Those who immediately called it "poisonous" are clearly just trying to stir up trouble. To be fair, the book publishing circle is quite dirty. Whenever a new book shows signs of success in these sections, a few new accounts will come along to stir up trouble.
Having read 60 chapters, I'm not being biased, nor am I praising. The writing style is good, surpassing 90% of authors on Qidian. However... I can't appreciate this time traveler. He kills monks, Taoist priests, emperors, scholars, aristocratic families, and even martial arts practitioners. His only way of solving problems is through killing. That's it.
The power system needs some balancing. Three or four Rank 3 experts per prefecture would be about right; I don't think that's too many. Large aristocratic families having three or four Rank 3 experts is normal. However, the author has made it too commonplace. The protagonist kills mostly Rank 3 experts.
The court is utterly corrupt, suppressing Taoism; powerful clans vie for power; a great figure in the palace has died in battle; the old emperor has been assassinated; the young emperor is still innocent and naive; and the eldest princess rule from behind the curtain. It all seems like a chaotic world, yet everyone seems to be at odds with the rebellious protagonist.
This novel is garbage, it's poisonous!
I feel like throwing up whenever I see recommendations like this; I have no idea how they even got them.
