The Mountain Patrol Commandant

I finished watching it, and it was pretty good, except for the part about being ordered to slay demons—those two scenes were a bit awkward. Then there's the patrol captain—doesn't he get a salary? No rewards? With such a high mortality rate, is there no compensation? They're all saints; the protagonist gets his because he can gain good fortune, but what about the others? I hope they can improve the entire department; you're not a mountain god, and even mountain gods get offerings.

The author is a skilled storyteller, weaving the plot seamlessly into the narrative and drawing the reader in. The characters are also well-developed. However, there are two things I really want to complain about: 1. The timeline is too rushed.

The beginning was alright, but the last hundred pages were absolutely terrible.

Your timeline is too restrictive. The protagonist has traversed countless new and old maps and accomplished countless tasks, yet only half a year has passed since the start of the game. I've seen games that suppress combat power and the protagonist, but this is the first time I've seen one that suppresses time. 🙂

Personally, I think L4 authors shouldn't write so blandly, and they shouldn't stop writing right after every exciting moment. This will wear down the readers' patience. You're not a top-tier author or a platinum-level writer; you don't have readers to keep you waiting.

It's already several hundred chapters in, why is the imperial court treating the mountain-climbing army like this? Such treatment for guarding the Ten Thousand Mountains! There hasn't been a single clue explaining why the imperial court is doing this. Any clue, any chapter detailing the political situation within the court, would be far better than simply seeing why the court is acting this way and how the soldiers guarding the Ten Thousand Mountains are being treated.

Given the density of demons at the start, it's truly incredible luck for someone to reach adulthood.

I don't know what it's about. Everything is done in hindsight, and things are always rushed. It's always the last thing that comes out to wrap things up when you feel like you're about to show off, but then you can't stop. It's not as good as the previous book, which was all about showing off. That was what made it interesting.

We've reached a point where Musashi is less valuable than a dog, and Ryūgo is everywhere. 🙂

It has a faint air of pretentious intellectualism, coupled with a narrative that feels like you're rushing to be reborn, and the plot is made up of a large number of events piled up directly. The pace is so fast that it becomes boring after a few dozen chapters.
