The Evolution Game That Began at the Dragon-Sealing Well

The story begins with the capital city being flooded, and the protagonist shows no remorse whatsoever—this doesn't align with my values.

I've finished the first chapter. The plot is good, but the main character has a few problems that are really frustrating. The protagonist enters a dungeon and his consciousness travels through the dragon's body, flooding hundreds of thousands of people without any remorse. In reality, the world isn't set in the near future, nor does it have virtual consciousness games.

Sure, just for the fact that the protagonist, as the Dragon Prince, was almost skinned alive and killed by the Ming Dynasty, and then didn't choose to forgive or fawn over them because of the current hype surrounding the Ming Dynasty in online novels, but instead directly sought revenge, not giving the emperor a chance to scheme against him, I'm definitely going to follow this book.

I found the first and second instances rather baffling. Why is the imperial court's status higher than that of the gates? Even someone like the protagonist, who only possesses a dragon soul, can control rivers and reverse their flow as a river god. What level of skill do the imperial court's soldiers need to withstand a single wave? The instances are poorly written. It feels like the hierarchy is just a plot device.

Whether it's dark or not is irrelevant, it's just a bit frustrating to watch. It's one thing to be unable to show off in real life in a novel, but this game-like dungeon is full of mutual destruction, it feels like a repetitive cycle, lacking any real excitement. It leaves me completely unmoved. The point of death is to speedrun; I see others reviving in dungeons to improve their rating, but this advantage gained after resurrection is glossed over, it feels too bland.

This protagonist is so frustrated! He's become a dragon, a god, yet he still believes humans are superior to dragons. How can he, in his dragon form, make such anthropocentric pronouncements? He's even a dragon, yet he gets bullied. Isn't that a waste of his status?

I completely failed to understand the author's train of thought. The protagonist doesn't even know how to take advantage of others. He wants something in return, so he flips the table and starts over. He wants something in return, so he flips the table and starts over. Wouldn't his strength just increase after doing this a few more times?

I just started watching, so I don't know what happens next. But let me tell you the whole story about the flooding of the capital, so you won't get misled. The protagonist and his family were captured and imprisoned in a well, which was originally their home. They tortured them so badly they were skinned alive. To escape, they needed to flood the city, so they escaped for their freedom.

I think the setting shouldn't follow ancient traditions, like emperors being able to grant imperial pardons or bestow titles upon deities—that's too arrogant. What right do mere mortals have to interfere in the affairs of the gods?

The protagonist isn't an orphan, which makes the Qidian orphanage seem inappropriate, and I really can't understand why the author is so obsessed with becoming an internet celebrity.
