Mythic Ming: Invincible After Subduing Fusang with My Blade

Chapter Ten: The protagonist was portrayed as so resolute and courageous in the earlier chapters, but he fell into a trap here. Then, at a critical moment, he was awakened by a single sentence from a beautiful woman he'd only met once. All I can say is I regretfully left the story.

This is a bit ridiculous. The protagonist, as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, went to the vassal state of Fusang to witness and acknowledge the succession to the throne. Then the Fusang people wanted to break free from Ming control and tested him. Is this insane? What could an envoy possibly find out? And to immediately kill someone after a test? Didn't they consider the Ming Dynasty's retaliation afterward? Were they just going to completely sever ties and offend them to the death?

The setup is illogical. A mere first-rank officer in the Imperial Guard is called a "Little Karami"? And this guy, a mere first-rank officer, can cause so much trouble in the country? Where does he get the audacity to rebel? When the country invaded Goryeo, Ming's father ordered him to leave with a single word. The country doesn't dare rebel against strong opponents; its ambition only surfaces when you are weak.

You, a centurion, went to another country as the head of an envoy, and you're listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Martial Arts? What the hell?

Personally, I believe that those who bear the name and the destiny should fulfill their cause and effect to complete their wishes.

They started off with such high-sounding words, and then what? They accepted the challenge from a tiny, insignificant country without a second thought, thinking they were so high and mighty, but they ended up behaving so ridiculously. Weren't they supposed to be so impressive? They even needed a woman to remind them, and then they were poisoned.

It feels awkward, like trying to slap the skin of Homer's epic onto the skeleton of a Japanese light novel while trying to disguise it as domineering martial arts. The killing intent in the text lacks power and even the intended killing intent; calling it domineering is pure hype. They should stick to light novels and keep the language simple. After all, reading a bunch of flashy, pretentious words in web novels is exhausting.

That's ridiculous. They dare to touch the people of the suzerain state? It's like when Americans go to Japan and South Korea, do their governments dare to touch them? I'm speechless. Otherwise, they shouldn't have written about how awesome the Ming Dynasty was in the beginning.

The author seemed to want to portray an invincible, upward-climbing narrative, but unfortunately, the writing was weak and the attempt to be overly pretentious backfired. The whole thing felt like a misleading advertisement.

If you're going to write about ruthless decisiveness, then those women are a flaw! Especially since in Japan, they only snap out of their daze when a woman calls out to them! And in another country where women have a low status, they openly help people from other countries? Even if it's from another world!!
