The Eastern Sequence: Starting as a Coroner

All 13 sequences (and possibly more) designed by the author for the updated chapters so far have appeared. I'll summarize them here, and please feel free to fill in any missing ones. The Rat's absurdities: a ninth-rank storyteller, an eighth-rank actor (face-changing performer), a seventh-rank shadow puppeteer, a sixth-rank diviner, and a fifth-rank sycophant.

To summarize, the high-order positions (which may be equivalent to sequence 0) that have appeared through various channels so far are as follows. The Immortal Cat Corpse—The True Lord of the Nine Netherworld Shrine, who refines his form through wondrous methods (Mirage God) The Rat's Delusions—Imprisoned Abyss, Presumptuous and Chaotic, a Strange Dream, a Wandering True Lord (Hua Xu)

Definitely not a novice. If the pacing is good, I feel like a high-quality book with over 6,000 words per page should be no problem. If he builds up his pen name with a few books, this one will achieve far more than its current 40th place on the new book list with 110,000 words. If he really is a newbie, then he's born for this. Pretty impressive! 👍

I read five chapters while browsing the investment section and found the writing style acceptable. I did some research and discovered that coal, even coal briquettes, was widely used in my country as early as the Han and Wei-Jin periods. Furthermore, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was quite common to use coal poisoning to exterminate entire families by blocking ventilation shafts. 😰

You can tell from the author's writing style and worldview that the author has some talent. However, in terms of plot progression, story development, scene descriptions, and battle descriptions, there's a sense of disjointedness and haste. Some parts could have been explored in detail, but the pace is excessively fast.

Where is the author of this book? If he has been castrated, please report to the Imperial Household Department as soon as possible.

After reading a few chapters, to be honest, the setting and writing are alright, but the main character's character and behavior are too inconsistent. The protagonist is supposed to be bold, meticulous, and shrewd, but why include so many internal monologues?

OTZ

But this book is indeed well-written, especially the first five chapters. The plot is intricately connected, and the final twist is completely unexpected (the author is definitely not a novice; perhaps he's a demon from another world). Then there's the profession setting in this book.

The book is good, but reading it is frustrating. The protagonist always gets himself into trouble he can't handle, and then he has to beg for help everywhere... What's even more frustrating is that he likes to meddle but has no ability, he's always dragging his feet, and nothing he does is ever enjoyable...
