Battle Through the Heavens: I, Liu Xi, Become a Three-Legged Golden Crow

Dear author, I've found the list of elixirs from grades one to seven in "Battle Through the Heavens," which are basically consistent with the original work. Currently, the highest-grade elixirs in the Northwest Continent are only grade seven, while grade eight elixirs are found in the Central Plains. If you need them later, I'll also send you grade eight and nine elixirs.

I believe the author, having read the comments, realized that bashing the original protagonist would damage some readers' goodwill. Furthermore, I don't see what purpose bashing the original protagonist serves; it doesn't highlight the protagonist's righteousness and instead feels awkward.

What right does a protagonist with a harem-building, depraved personality have to criticize Xiao Yan? If there were only one female lead, you could indeed stand on your moral high ground and despise Xiao Yan. If the original Xiao Yan were as you describe, he would have already had all his wives and concubines.

Regarding the protagonist's appearance, the original novel describes him as quite handsome, though his eyes are somewhat lecherous. After the protagonist transmigrates, his eyes become clear and bright, his appearance refreshing and dashing, radiating heroic spirit. Those who insist on bringing up the anime, if you don't like it, you can leave; there's no need to argue with me here.

You've gone too far with your boasting. A twenty-four-year-old Dou Zun? Yao Chen is already giving you face by even glancing at you, let alone praising you as a possible descendant of one of the Eight Great Imperial Clans. Yao Chen himself is from the Yao Clan. There are Dou Zun in their twenties among the Eight Great Imperial Clans, and what are you?

Overall, it's readable once you can tolerate the first 25 chapters. It's barely passable, since it's too dark. In the early stages, Xiao Yan was indeed not very good; he had a kind of loser vibe. But why is Xiao Yan no longer criticized? 70% Of the reason is mainly due to the comparison with Tang San.

I've read up to chapter 187. Despite Xiao Yan's constant insults and profanities, the protagonist, in his efforts to please Gu Xun'er, continues to fawn over him, showering him with pills, cultivation techniques, and even saving his clansmen. Yet, Gu Xun'er still targets him relentlessly.

Let me share my opinion. Although I've only been reading the book for seven years, my opinion of Xiao Yan has always been negative, mainly because he's a transmigrator, and then there's the issue of him molesting Xun'er as a child (I absolutely cannot accept this; a thirty-year-old adult touching a little girl's body... He should be condemned to the pillory now).

Looking at the tags, there are 20 female leads. What era is this? And it's still a harem anime.

This book... It's not that you can't portray Xiao Yan negatively, but you could just make him seem a little wicked, using indirect characterization to highlight his personality. The reason Xiao Yan isn't criticized as much is because Tang San serves as a foil. The key issue is that the protagonist seems quite sleazy.
