Is this the level of a master? What is this even written?
A few thoughts
I feel like the author isn't in a good state right now. I read Cao Zei ten years ago, and now that he's started a new book, I'm a bit disappointed after following it. While it's understandable, given that he hasn't written online novels in a long time and switched from historical fiction to American TV series, the lower quality is to be expected. However, its shortcomings are also obvious.
All that background buildup for the protagonist, and he still ends up like a dimwitted megaphone, carelessly leaking his secrets. He doesn't seem like a charlatan who's survived a massacre, lived as a dependent, and faced life-or-death crises... Either he contradicts himself, or he's just indulging in self-delusion; there should at least be some logic to his story!
Is this a pro? Chapter 29. Up to this point, I still don't understand what the author is trying to write. A time traveler going from the modern era to the ancient era would first look for any mysteries and what they might be able to learn, and then other abilities.
I read about 20 chapters today and couldn't continue. I thought it was a new author, but it turns out it's a master. Is that all?
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he gave away his cultivation technique without any reason during their first meeting in chapter thirty-one is enough to make me drop the story. Only a top-tier author could write something like that.
After reading the comments from other readers, I realized the author of this book is a top-tier author?! Is that all? They came up with such a bizarre background setting for the protagonist's abilities; this opening is really jarring…
Changing the name is pointless. The surname Xiong is fine. What's with Chris?
Chapter 1, page 1—just removed. Did Fusang get divorced, or did Phoenix cheat? Fusang is paired with the Golden Crow, Phoenix with the Wutong Tree. If they can get even that wrong, I have no hope for the rest.
Judging from the comments section, it's likely that these are paid trolls. If all novels on Qidian are bad, then 90% of the novels on Qidian are garbage.
