The premise was good; the protagonist was a time traveler with a cheat-like ability. However, the author forcibly portrayed him as a lawless, ruthless killer. The first precept, that the police might shoot him without knowing if he was possessed, and that he killed them, at least had a reason. In 2002, the conflict was artificially created.
The ghosts here seem a bit off; they appear to be corrupted by higher-level entities. Their physical bodies are their shelters, but once they transform, their souls become corrupted.
A guess about the setting
There's something there, but the current question is that the protagonist doesn't think things through enough. After experiencing so much terror, most people would carefully analyze the logic behind what they know and summarize the patterns. After all, this terrible world is full of terrifying monsters, and one wrong move could be fatal.
I've read up to chapter 29 so far, here are my thoughts. The protagonist the author wanted to create Calm and composed personality → but actually panics and is often terrified when faced with problems. Clever → Acts like a fool Confident and unique → Actually a complete idiot The attached image speaks for itself.
Goodness, this world is incredibly complex. The original owner's father said there were no ghosts in this world, but it's probably the kind of world where the more you know, the deeper you dive.
The writing gets progressively worse. The male protagonist is just a nobody; is he really not given any special abilities or powers? It's all forcibly suppressed. What was the point of starting with such a high-level six-armed demon god? After all the hard work in the story, the rewards are completely disproportionate to his efforts. It's truly speechless.
I finally couldn't take it anymore. Seriously? Even Hong Kong supernatural dramas can handle that, but you had to add this weird, supernatural rule stuff. Fine, I gritted my teeth and kept reading, but then there's a system, and the protagonist isn't even given any way to survive. It's 2022, who still reads this kind of frustrating web novel? No wonder this book is doomed to fail.
Hong Kong variety shows about ghosts and monsters should just be about ghosts and monsters, but they're forcing themselves to be about eerie ancient gods. It's a complete mess. I'm leaving.
From the moment this book on cultivation techniques appeared, things went downhill.
This protagonist... I don't know how to describe him. His intelligence is at an average level, but his mentality is flawed; he's extremely prone to getting carried away.
