My Aptitude Is Mediocre

The story portrays Wudang as a demonic sect, where disciples are all filled with malevolence, and those with connections are arrogant and domineering, readily threatening to kill their senior brothers during trials. The sect leader openly cheats, giving the first-place reward to someone with connections.

Does this author have some kind of fetish? Having read up to chapter 186, first the protagonist's people are kidnapped, then his own father almost dies, and then his wife is about to be stolen away—it's truly toxic from beginning to end. Does the author only enjoy reading to the point of being toxic? I've been reading for four or five years and this is the first time I've encountered something this utterly disgusting. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I haven't seen anything more toxic than this yet.

There's a reason why it took more than 200 signatures. The first essential element of online novels these days is that the protagonist cannot be abused. The second essential element is that the character cannot be self-contradictory in their character setting. One moment they're smart, the next they're stupid.

I've always wondered why people experience a reading slump when it comes to novels. Now I think I understand a little better. For example, this book, although the plot is a bit cliché, is very enjoyable to read. The author writes it seriously and the writing style is good. So what if there are a few minor flaws? Those few dozen books by established authors are hardly enough to read.

A breath of fresh air on Qidian.com, where most novels these days are mindless wish-fulfillment stories. This book is surprisingly a mindless, angst-filled protagonist novel, which is quite good. If you're tired of wish-fulfillment novels and want a change, check this out. Highly recommended!!!

The following are purely personal opinions. I hope the author finds them useful and can incorporate them for improvement; if not, please ignore them. This can also serve as a reference for future readers. Feel free to criticize, but I won't be back to read it anyway. First of all, the world-building in this book is too vague in the early stages.

Isn't the point of reading wuxia novels to see the chivalry of the protagonists? The protagonist in your book is portrayed as utter trash. Being a little cowardly is understandable, but this protagonist cowers at the first sign of a strong enemy. Why doesn't he immediately kill his junior brother who sold him out and threatened his family's lives? What's the point of keeping him around?

The Grand Elder's grandson stole your position, and you killed the author, which showed the protagonist's decisiveness and alibi, all of which are plot points and have no issues. When you got the roster, the protagonist knew the fat man had betrayed you, yet you didn't kill him but kept him alive.

By chapter 50, I couldn't take it anymore. The plot was forced and the transitions were incredibly abrupt. The Demonic Sect went to hunt down the protagonist, but the Six Doors people just disappeared and stopped chasing him. Later, the protagonist was relentlessly pursued, and even bought a bowl of wontons in the city.

It's really frustrating to read. It starts with a righteous sect full of oppressive and sordid acts; there's not a single good person. He's supposed to be 35, yet he's still arguing with a bunch of 20-somethings. Seriously, with this "adventure system," why not just go home, get a horse, and go traveling? Why does he have to fight for leadership positions? Is he short of money or resources?
