Lord of the Heart Realm

I've read 20 chapters and there are countless toxic moments. How did the author manage that? It feels like a toxic drama from a romance novel. In just 20 chapters, the protagonist experiences bullying from classmates, picking fights with teachers, being reported by classmates, having his grades disregarded, and being treated unfairly by his coach. This is supposed to be a martial arts society! Aren't these people afraid that someone will become powerful and kill them someday?

After following this for so long, I have some thoughts to share. This book is undoubtedly one of the best books of 2020. The premise is novel, and the subject matter is not outdated. The writing style could be improved, but it is already quite good. All the main and supporting characters are intelligent and have distinct personalities.

Let me preface this by saying I'm just a newbie offering some advice. Those who have read this book know it's a slow burn, but I feel the pacing is too fast. In almost a year, the author has only covered the character advancement and demon hunting, glossing over the training and assisting with hunter missions. I barely remember any of the other supporting characters.

Jinghai No. 1 High School is finished; its top ranking is definitely out of reach. The more powerful the protagonist becomes, the more awkward Jinghai will be, and it will definitely be frequently ridiculed by other schools. If the protagonist holds a grudge, it will be even worse, since Jinghai didn't even give him a chance to prove his innocence, and given the protagonist's competitive nature, there's a high possibility he'll bring down Jinghai later.

I just want to ask, everyone seems to say the protagonist progresses quickly, but why does it seem like he hasn't caught up with anyone's strength yet? It was acceptable in the early stages... But it's getting a bit annoying as it continues like this. What resources do the other characters use to accelerate their cultivation? Why does it feel like the protagonist is simply relying on his potential points, without any other methods?

It's good that he lost! Winning all the time gets boring. Anyway, he's not a key player now. Only when he makes rapid progress in the future can he show his unlimited potential and ability. Losing now will make us look forward to the future!

This loan plot is truly toxic; it's unbearable to watch. On the one hand, it emphasizes the contributions of the sealing warriors, the government's attention, the high mortality rate of the warriors, and the fact that the warriors' will is easily out of control. As a result, a company forcibly lends money to most people using equipment that has been used many times over.

My personal speculation is that many of the current "problems" are actually related to background settings, unspoken rules that are generally accepted among the people in this world. The protagonist is too "country bumpkin" to understand them. For example, the protagonist might not have been admitted because he overlooked how important the "mental screening" is for prestigious universities.

Why is it swordplay again? We don't mean any discrimination, we just see too much swordplay. Moreover, putting everything else aside, he said that on the battlefield, the only way to kill someone is to use swordsmanship to surround them with spears, and then one stab and they're gone. On the battlefield, every inch counts. Well, never mind, never mind, the protagonist's cheat-like abilities are way too overpowered.

This demon-like character setting is toxic. Why not just report whoever you don't like? How can a genius possibly emerge? How can such a world even exist?
