Reborn in Snow and Ashes: Grow Stronger by Slaying Enemies

What I don't understand the most are the two novel characters, Xu Fengnian and Kou Zhong. One had hundreds of thousands of soldiers die for him, and then he just retires to the mountains. The other is even more absurd; a million soldiers, along with various generals and strategists—so many people followed him to conquer the world, and he was about to succeed, but he was persuaded by his brothers…

Giving up the world in the snow is the most disgusting thing. He put on so much airs before, but to be honest, he's not even as good as the Second Prince.

After reading the entire novel "Snow in the Wind," I felt it was a joke. "Feng Huo" plagiarized figures from five thousand years of Chinese history, yet its core was filled with the decadent and gloomy spirit of the weak Song Dynasty. The protagonist and his father's Xu family were a joke; they lacked neither heroism nor even the masculine spirit of a powerful leader.

How should I put it? This book is unpleasant to read. In terms of decisiveness, the protagonist is good. He kills those who deserve it, without resorting to killing too many people as some authors seem to worry about the plot running out of steam. This is indeed a good point. But the problem is that it's really annoying that the lottery is only drawn during times of crisis. Isn't this the same routine from a few years ago? It just doesn't change.

I couldn't get through this book, even after reading it twice. I've been a bookworm for over twenty years. I've seen countless fanfictions and adaptations, all sorts of fantasy and cultivation stories, but I just couldn't stomach this one. It's like the whole world revolves around some pretentious show-off.

Xu Fengnian (a spoiled brat; don't call it pretense, he enjoys it). The female lead (was captured and brainwashed by the male lead's father). The male lead's father (didn't demonstrate any military leadership ability, but gained the reputation of destroying six kingdoms—what, just a character from another series). The ending is a tribute to *Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty*, even surpassing it.

In this book, will Xu Fengnian's father still be able to use his brainwashing superpowers to turn Jian Jiuhuang and other experts who came to assassinate him into loyal slaves?

In the original novel, Xu Weixiong, Qingniao, Jiang Ni, and Xu Yanbing all seem to have a grudge against the Xu family, right?

I'm a bit confused about how the character lottery works. For example, why is it that the character Wang Meng is drawn only after he's already been released? The same goes for the previous characters. Is it replacing an existing character, possessing another character, or something else? I'm really confused. Could the author please explain this to me?

If all else fails, try writing about the martial arts from Qin's Moon, Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Pili Puppet Show, or Storm Riders. Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is too low-class.
