A Martial World Beginning with a Bandit Stronghold

Having seen this far, here are some of my humble opinions: The protagonist's ruthless and vengeful nature, his chivalrous spirit of seeking revenge and quick wit, is fine in itself, but this type of protagonist is truly despicable. He's constantly thinking about wiping out entire families, killing women and children, then using up the meager resources he gains for cultivation, and then killing again. This plot is utterly absurd.

After reading the latest chapter, I can't help but share my personal opinions. To be honest, this book is far from being a good book in my opinion, but I still subscribed to the whole thing. Well, the author already has the potential to write a good book. (The following is purely my personal evaluation; please don't argue.) Back to the book, my personal opinions: 1.

I just have to get this off my chest. They're always killing and wiping out entire families, and then they call themselves good people. Okay, I tolerated it when they were weak, but even at the Innate Realm, they're still killing and wiping out entire families. What's the difference between them and the Demonic Path? And they say they like it this way, that it's comfortable?

😅I've subscribed to chapter 109. I don't know how to describe it. It's a dark fantasy novel, but the protagonist doesn't indiscriminately kill innocents; he only kills those who oppose him. However, wherever the protagonist goes, he kills without leaving any survivors. No matter where he goes, everyone is against him.

The author is a bit erratic, occasionally throwing in a few nice little details. But the use of references really needs to be moderate, it's so distracting! When I saw the mention of the Golden Core in this book, my heart skipped a beat. No way, it felt a bit forced.

The writing style is alright, but I personally find the protagonist's personality extremely distasteful; this book isn't for me.

The writing is dry and lifeless, with every subtle description of the characters' dialogue—a soft laugh, a faint laugh, a fleeting laugh—making me cringe. But the fight scenes are clean, crisp, and visceral. The action sequences are far superior to the dialogue.

It's a pity that a female lead appeared later on, and she was given Qilin blood to help her break through to a higher realm. The author often says the protagonist is selfish and has a clear sense of right and wrong, but these two aspects are contradictory. There's a chapter titled "A Thousand Miles to the Southern Frontier," where a selfish protagonist wouldn't go.

Please change the bio, buddy. I've been turned off by this bio three times already.

Ten years ago, novels and TV dramas featured protagonists who were often saintly figures, and like the story endings, most had perfect, happy endings. Later, people probably got tired of this, and stories with less-than-perfect endings became popular. The same is true for online novels today.
