The first chapter is jarring. Either write a fictional world, or don't add a Ming Dynasty setting. A quick glance reveals numerous errors in detail. Don't try to explain it away by mentioning cultivation; the social structure and world background remain largely unchanged. And then there's the part about a county averaging over 50 death sentences a year?
I don't understand why the protagonist's father dies and immediately underworld officials arrive, while the villain, after being beheaded, can still seek revenge on the protagonist. This is a bit melodramatic.
Chapter Twenty-Six: If someone insults you, would you kill them outright? Moreover, the reasons given later were far-fetched. The person who was killed was neither a criminal nor had committed any serious crime, so killing him like that is neither reasonable nor legal. Why not make an example of him and lock him up in jail? Why not give him some form of punishment? The overall impression is that the protagonist killed someone just because of a court lackey, which shows how petty he is.
If all else fails, you can continue writing about the deceased master; that one was quite good.
Don't abandon it again. It's been short and weak ever since *Nine Uncle* 😒
Having read up to chapter 47, I really can't agree with their values. I'm not saying they need a saintly figure to save everyone, but at least the Lu family was kind to the protagonist at every turn, and the protagonist just ignored them completely. Didn't they mention divine consciousness earlier? Now they're completely clueless.
The part with Zhong Kui's sister and the protagonist was so badly written that the author deliberately made the characters seem less intelligent; it was truly speechless.
Over a thousand people were killed in twenty years; this county is likely full of villains. The executioner even took the imperial examinations—that's even more outrageous!
It's disgusting enough that a scholar would become an executioner; anyone who sees that would want to die on the spot. The key issue is that the purpose of becoming an executioner is to kill for the sake of killing, which shows no difference between his mentality and that of a demon.
Holy crap, the king of eunuchs has slipped away! This is too much to bear.
