I Am Emperor in a World of the Weird

I'm puzzled. This book isn't very good; the classic quotes don't fit into any particular part of the text. Why did the editor recommend it? Did they get some kind of bribe?

Before the spiritual energy revival, Innate Grandmasters were the highest level in this world. After the revival, they should have benefited the most, but instead, they couldn't even defeat a random female ghost, so they still won. Yet, even a trivial matter like an inn required the emperor's personal intervention, which was utterly pointless.

A martial arts world for all, immortal cultivation in the open, gathering and dividing cultivators from the mountains and wilderness, spiritual energy resurgence, treasure harvesting, the supernatural under control, bestowing divine positions, the unification of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity as one.

There's just one problem with the book~ (￣▽￣~)~ The scope is too narrow, it's always just about (jianghu, the martial arts world) feuds, and the imperial army is just there to watch. Everything has to be decided by the higher-ups using force to overcome the masses; the imperial court feels like a bunch of heroes in disguise. A martial arts master who's incredibly skilled actually dares to challenge the emperor to a duel in the capital, and he actually agrees! 😭

I haven't read much of it yet, but this book has a major flaw. The simplest way to fight ghosts is for the warrior to spit blood or coat their weapon with blood to injure them. So, if you just tell everyone you're hungry, what's so special about being bitten by ghosts (living martial artists)? If you're afraid of blood and still want to bite, aren't you just asking for trouble? 😅😅😅

I'm wondering, where will our next opponent come from? The villains in the martial arts world are too weak, and they wouldn't be strong even in a foreign land. It would be too ridiculous for the author to give them a power-up. An internal rebellion? That's unlikely. An enemy formed out of nowhere? The scale seems a bit small. Otherworldly settings, parallel universes, etc., Are easy to ruin in writing. How about we just go all the way with invincibility? Hahaha, I love it! 😄

It's a pity. The idea is good, but starting as an emperor is missing a lot. If you have to take action to be an emperor, what's the difference between you and a salted fish? If you start from a time of chaos and powerful families, wouldn't that be better than what you have now? It has the formula for vying for supremacy and a reason for the protagonist to improve his strength and participate in various opportunities.

The premise is good, but the author's writing is terrible. The protagonist, the emperor, immediately pulled me out of the story the moment he opened his mouth. He didn't act like an emperor at all when talking to those around him; his tone and vocabulary were like a modern ordinary person speaking to another modern ordinary person. I suggest the author write some modern stories first, or at least look at how others write this kind of historical fiction.

My understanding of the eerie phenomena is that they are the inner demons that cause the world to undergo tribulation, distorting the rules of the world like a rampant cancer. When they accumulate to a certain point, they will destroy the world, but they can be purified through their obsessions or great magical power, returning them to their original state and gaining the favor of the rules or…

It's ridiculous that the emperor has to take charge of everything. The country is so weak that even fighting a wild ghost is so difficult. You're the emperor, not a knight-errant. If you were to write about outwitting and outfighting enemy countries and subduing various sects, I would find that reasonable. But what's the point of this?
