The King Who Rose from the Slums

This book title... Reminds me of the ancient book "The Strongest Man Who Emerged from the Immortal Tomb," a memory that remains vivid.

Ugh, another daily dose of poison. He died from the poison in the first few chapters. Sigh, it's so hard to find a book to read.

To spread racism in the extraordinary world is like playing the game of equality in the primordial universe—a path to certain death. The red color is only effective in the ordinary world; it has no room to develop in the extraordinary world. The strength of the red is that it can win over the majority of people; in other words, it can unite them.

The social background and power system described are all from Western fantasy, yet the author insists it's not Western fantasy but an isekai steampunk story. So, if you categorize a genre a little more precisely, it doesn't fall under Western fantasy anymore? And what's with submitting it to the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) section? Does this book even have anything to do with Xianxia? Is this just a case of false advertising? Is deceiving readers really that interesting?

Can you explain why you're impersonating someone using your own real name? 🤔

I want to ask, knowing that the insurgents were problematic, why did they still insist on going? And even after going, they left their four-year-old brother at home without proper arrangements, leading to his disappearance. What kind of mindset allowed them to go to such lengths?

Didn't you even think about looking for your brother when he went missing? Substituting one thing for another is way too deliberate.

AK47 assault rifle AK47 penetrates tank steel plate Take the AK-47, which we are more familiar with, as an example. The AK-47 is called the "King of Guns" because of its powerful lethality. So how powerful is this rifle exactly? The AK-47 has a very small entry point into the human body, but it can still cause a wound the size of a ramen bowl in the back of the body.

Even after time-traveling, he's still looking for shortcuts. Judging from the title, I thought the protagonist would be someone like Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the blink of an eye, he's back to being a dog, going from being exploited to becoming the exploiter. How can someone like that become a king?

It uses Western fantasy tropes and has a Western fantasy setting, so it's a Western fantasy novel, or at least that's what most readers think... Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novels should at least have Chinese elements, right? I can't find many even with a magnifying glass. Western fantasy novels are all about other worlds, and even those are unrelated to Xianxia. The description mentions steam engines and orcs—aren't those Western fantasy terms?
