The Dragon King of the Mountains

Removing the female lead wouldn't affect the plot at all. You just used this character to pad the word count by a third. If the female lead isn't well-written, your writing skills are subpar.

Wan Niang's White Tiger bloodline came about rather inexplicably. The protagonist gained it through the Seven Killings Stele, while Wan Niang was just an ordinary person who, using only the lowest-grade demon core, acquired the highest-level demon bloodline and top-tier cultivation aptitude.

It's a bit awkward. The character of Wan'er feels somewhat superfluous; it would be better if she were a ghost bride, as suggested by a reader. That would enrich the character type, and since ghosts can't reproduce, they could turn a blind eye to the protagonist having a harem.

Dear author, swords should be considered light weapons. I'd like to see heavy weapons, with swords and horses clashing in my dreams. Please! (By the way, even ordinary tigers have the talents of using their wings and riding the wind. Don't you, a dragon, have any supernatural abilities to summon wind and rain?) It's really quite good, a must-read for all you brothers! Come quickly!!

New -- Protagonist's Demonic Form Reference The previous reference image wasn't even good enough, so I'll just use this ink painting instead. There are really very few ancient style dragon and human images, it's impossible to find any. Since everyone's here to read the novel, let's not worry about the pictures. If you're not satisfied, you can use your imagination. Isn't that the advantage of novels?

I stumbled upon this picture online and it felt really fitting.

"You do absolutely nothing all day, neither rain nor thunder. What kind of damn Dragon King are you?" "I am the Dragon King of the Mountains"

Is it possible that even if someone is a main character with amazing advantages, no side effects, and no coercion, they still have to complain and criticize?
