Plundering the Heavens: Starting by Slaying Zoro

The first few chapters of this book are about a successful hunt by the protagonist after he has grown up, and that's roughly the style. Chapter 5 begins by recounting the protagonist's journey to becoming stronger. I advise all readers that if you want to be invincible from the start, or if you don't like the process of becoming stronger, you can read another book.

The contrast is too great. It started with the hunt for Zoro, then started all over again, causing many readers to skip chapters. The initial thrill was the Zoro hunt, and maintaining that pace would have kept the reader engaged, but... You actually started writing from scratch!

I feel the author has lowered the power levels in the One Piece world. It's like a martial arts world where the highest level is only three tiers, which is impossible. In martial arts, the highest combat power is said to be able to shatter the void, but the world is small and vulnerable to armies. No grandmaster has ever actually fought an army; they've only ever harassed them.

If you have the ability and ruthlessness to kill Zoro, how come you can't make it in society? If you can't succeed in a peaceful society, how could you possibly kill Zoro in the precarious world of pirates?

The first four chapters and the rest are disjointed and don't even seem like a flashback. Why use a flashback? Even if it's for attracting readers, at least get the plot to the first four chapters as quickly as possible, or just add a chapter number at the end of each chapter so readers can skip around.

Is it really that interesting to keep writing about how big eaters are? What kind of demand creates what kind of product? Compressed food is impossible, isn't it? Even the highly nutritious meat of sea monsters, compressed into solid blocks... Is that impossible too? You'd be eating dry food all day, right? Doesn't your jaw hurt? How many hours would it take to finish one meal?

Before it was published, the real-life woman I wrote about was really inexplicable. If you want to include her in the main cast, then write a better entry point for her and make her personality more likable. If she's just a minor character who gets sidetracked by the plot, then don't write a bunch of tedious, sycophantic scenes that are just plain annoying.

It made a huge mistake from the very beginning by downplaying the world. A properly written story wouldn't fall apart, but it deliberately downplayed it, which made it less interesting. This is no different from suppressing combat power; it makes viewers feel frustrated and uncomfortable.

Honestly, it's so-so, still watchable, but back in the real world, the male lead isn't quite normal with women. He handled things quite well in the other world, but his handling of relationships in the real world is too cloying. There are too many sword-related things these days. No matter what it is, they all have the name "Eternal Sword," which makes it seem less sophisticated and dull.

Opening it, I saw Chapter Five: Farewell. Even the divine book lost its appeal.
