The Saint of the Fallen

Having read the first few chapters, it seems the author intended to depict a story set in a brutally dog-eat-dog world. However, since the underlying logic is indeed survival of the fittest, the story inevitably becomes dark and cannibalistic, as everyone rises through plunder and conquest. This is an age of beasts, where the strong reign supreme.

This book has one flaw: the soldiers selected this way still claim to be loyal to the army and patriotic. That's ridiculous.

Don't plant small foreshadowing elements in the early stages; few people will remember them, and they're easily mistaken for plot holes. Instead, plant big foreshadowing elements that may never be understood, even until the very end.

This selection method is so strange. How can people be willing to risk their lives if there aren't enough benefits?

This selection process, even if you're not a spy, will make you one.

This method of selecting soldiers is poorly conceived. Defending a city requires unity of purpose, and this method breeds disunity and division. Given the opportunity, they will surely seek revenge. The author should revise it. Those who do not wish to participate can simply return home, instead of... The logic is too weak.

This book is very well written. It's definitely been unfairly criticized.

This isn't the behavior of a proper beggar. Being able to endure is normal, but your ruthlessness—being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself—makes you unfit for the role. In the era depicted in the book, mercy was a luxury.

Disgusting beggar, trashy novel, even a commoner's identity is better.

This is disgusting. If you can't write, don't write. Chapter 90, Ning Yue became a slave. It's disgusting.
