The Brass Lord

Well written The main character has a problem. His emotions are unpredictable, and he exhibits exaggerated, easily startled behavior; his adaptability seems worse than that of the villagers. Judging from the present moment alone, they don't seem like adults educated in modern times. And isn't it a bit hasty to start the next encounter without leaving with the Myriad Manifestations Sect?

Having read up to chapter 20... I feel this shouldn't be categorized as fantasy, but rather as suspense. Also, it seems the protagonist didn't utilize his cheat ability effectively; he wasn't reckless enough in the nightmares, and a bit too reckless in reality. Furthermore, as a reader, I feel the author provided too little information; I was completely following the protagonist's lead, and without an omniscient perspective, I felt a bit confused.

On the one hand, the writing style, foreshadowing, and world-building are all quite good. On the other hand, the book relies entirely on the protagonist's monologues and inner thoughts to provide information, rather than on the interactions between the protagonist, characters, and the plot. Reading in this third-person narrative style is tiring and confusing.

The author portrays the protagonist's situation as extremely dangerous, yet calmly provides a long list of psychological descriptions. It's as if time stops while the protagonist is thinking. That's not all; after writing a bunch of guesses and deductions, one wrong answer negates them, followed by another long list of internal speculations… and the final conclusion is that judgment should be based on the actual situation! 😂 This reminds me of a famous saying: "When mortals think, God laughs."

I've read over ten chapters, and I still have no idea what they're writing about. 😒

People these days still prefer stories about showing off and getting revenge. They don't even read such interesting premises and excellent writing.

I found it quite interesting, it's a pity it died in the last one, it was doing so well.

It's well-written, but the author seems to have neglected the protagonist's leveling up. When the protagonist encounters the brass door and becomes a waiter, the process of leveling up to level two should be explained. Don't keep everything hidden; it's tiring to read as it is now.

Personally, I think this novel is pretty good. I agree with one of the reviewers that the protagonist's emotions are too jumpy and the emotional portrayal isn't very good. I've listened to this novel from the first chapter to the latest, and this is the only major problem. Of course, there are many other issues, but it's not easy to spot these problems while listening to an audiobook.

It's well-written; I think it's a masterpiece.
