I won't add any dumb books to this list, because I really hate them! Emmm (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ) As someone who cares about logic, I first check whether the story is internally consistent, then whether its values and other aspects suit my taste. I just realized I'm really picky about novels! ( ,,ʘωʘ,,) I like decisive protagonists who don't hesitate to kill. It's even better when the side characters and villains are smart too! ₍₍ ◝(●˙꒳˙●)◜⚘₎₎🎉 I'll add books over time. Feel free to recommend yours if you'

Having read the second script, the author's biggest mistake so far is reversing the opening and second scripts. It would have been much better if the second script had been the opening, and the first script the second, or if the storyline had been written in detail, like a legacy quest. After all, in the first script you're already a top-tier king, killing people, demons, and even the emperor; how could you be shocked by the aura of a martial arts practitioner in the second script?!
The blood of enemies cannot be slain, and the tears of heroes never dry.
Escaping from the clutches of blades, wandering the mortal world.
Chapter Three is a warning to quit. The son of a general has been training for over ten years, yet he's no match for a veteran in life-or-death battles. Has he not had any real combat experience or sparring all these years? How did the protagonist, with such terrible talent, become a Martial Saint?
It's been so long, I wonder if the author has realized why the results aren't good? It's a bit of a shame about this book, and I still can't help but say a few words. Let me start with my own feelings! When I first started reading, I was quite impressed. Although the plot wasn't comprehensive enough, the details were handled very well and were very immersive.
Protest: I really dislike the latest version of the world. Those in our country who refuse to be slaves of the Qing Dynasty and are fighting against the Qing dogs are righteous forces, yet you steal their supplies and hinder their progress at a crucial moment, and even think about pulling your troops back to become lackeys of the Qing Dynasty! If you don't change it, I won't subscribe.
The author, who was familiar with *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, suddenly switched to the Republican era, turning fantasy martial arts into traditional Chinese martial arts—it's not interesting. The author must have gotten it backwards; the first volume should be set in the Republican era, and the second in *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*.
Traditional martial arts stories demand loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! One must bow before the emperor. Fantasy martial arts stories, on the other hand, rely on destiny and the power to become emperor and suppress the world. If these two worlds were to suddenly merge, the fantasy martial arts world of the same level would absolutely dominate the traditional martial arts world.
Volume Two, *A Grandmaster in the Mortal World*, constantly proclaims the importance of achieving merit, establishing a career, and protecting the country, but unfortunately, it's all empty slogans. We see achievements but no protection of the nation. If we call it coy, it's not as timid as Su Qing; if we call it heroic, it lacks the boldness of Li Xiaoke, Yang Xingzhou, and Su Hongxin.
What was the protagonist doing all those years following Commander Zuo? Was he just a good-for-nothing? In terms of fighting strength, they can't beat the veterans; In terms of strategy, knowing full well that it's a world of A Chinese Ghost Story, they just went with the flow and waited for their godfather to die. Replacing it with a pig would have the same effect.
