Lord of the Mysteries: I Refuse to Be Written Off

Mysterious fanfiction is really hard to write. The three factions (likely referring to a specific group or faction) have no chance; you absolutely need a Celestial Venerable. Of the five factions, only Bai Zao can really manage, and Hei Shi Zhan has the Goddess protecting him.

Honestly, I think that mystery fanfiction should either start with a high-ranking protagonist, either a demigod or someone with a cheat-like ability that grants them demigod-like combat power. This way, they can fully utilize the advantages of time travel, possessing control over the storyline and advanced knowledge, giving them significant room for manipulation.

The protagonist can only succeed in the Dark Death quest if they land and gain partial control of the River of Eternal Darkness, transforming into the Pale Emperor through the Death Path. This way, with Sequence 1 and Source Essence, they can potentially encounter the Goddess, then seize the God of War opportunity and ascend to the Twilight Giant. This is the only viable path. Otherwise, they should stick to the Hunter or Witch path.

Help! Don't make the original characters look so low-class! What kind of weird character is Klein who imagines half-beast catgirl bunny girl and witch car, and worries about Huang Beibei finding a husband? You can write the main character however you like, but could you at least make the other characters a little closer to the original Squid story?

Having read up to Chapter Seventeen, all I can say is that the protagonist is utterly useless, and his personality is terrible. Knowing this is a mysterious world, he's still so reckless. I mean, you're not some tyrant, so what, are you trying to emulate Master Luo? He spills every bit of information, daring to venture into any place.

I don't understand why the protagonist always tells others about his sequence and abilities. It feels a bit like he's losing his mind. Isn't this just actively exposing his true nature and weaknesses?

Why does it get increasingly frustrating as I read on? The protagonist seems increasingly useless. Is this the kind of plot we'll see from the beginning? As someone who's read the original novel and is a transmigrator without any special abilities, how can I possibly have the right to roam freely? As a pirate, doesn't he know what kind of people his fellow pirates are?

Why are there no female protagonists with harems in Mystery Fanfiction? It's so boring!

The protagonist is Sequence 8, plus a Sequence 9 first mate, and several sealed artifacts, yet he was actually taken down by two Sequence 9s. He only survived because of the protagonist's halo. It's disgusting. Imagine if Xiao Ke was a Sequence 8 with several sealed artifacts, but couldn't beat a Sequence 9, and only survived thanks to the intervention of the Celestial Venerable.

In my opinion, this article is just self-indulgent and lacks logical coherence.
