Heaven's Way of the Edict

Is he a reincarnated Old Deng or an extraterrestrial demon? 😋

The writing style can be artsy, but the characters can't be. Overall, it's somewhat similar to Mao Ni's *Ze Tian Ji*, but the character development is far inferior.

I initially thought it was a withered tree sprouting new buds, ushering in a new era, but instead it described termites gnawing at the tree, giving it a lifeless and desolate appearance.

I just love this artsy vibe 😋 Eating too much of anything else makes me cough

After Yunmengze, the plot began to deteriorate and become nauseating. The literary style gradually contaminated the plot, making it utterly incurable. I forced myself to read two-thirds of it, and the reward was realizing that the protagonist was a giant tortoise. This wasn't a Dao Lord, but a tortoise lord—incredibly resilient and adept at prolonging his life.

Overall, it's quite amazing, with a very obvious later-stage Mao Ni style. It's like half Ze Tian Ji (The Legend of the Condor Heroes) and half Dao Da Chao Tian (The Great Dao Ascends to Heaven). The literary flair isn't a problem, but the issue lies in the characters' overly similar airs of arrogance.

This is too much of a pretentious, artsy writing; after reading so many chapters, I'm still completely baffled as to what the author is trying to say. There are a bunch of enigmatic characters (especially the protagonist and Yu Sheng), and the recent romance plot is also poorly written. Given the protagonist's character, it's best to avoid romance altogether; this messy plot is just...

The protagonist seems too arrogant and pretentious. I don't know if the author intentionally created this character or what, but I find it very difficult to immerse myself in the story, and I really dislike this personality trait.

After it was released, especially the Summer Festival series, it really gave me a headache. It was so inexplicable, and I really dislike this kind of riddle-solving genre.

I've encountered stories where the protagonist tries to act all high and mighty, but none are this jarring. The author wanted the protagonist to appear sophisticated and nonchalant, but the writing simply couldn't handle it, resulting in nonsensical dialogue and plot. As for the descriptions of the protagonist's romantic relationships, let's not even go there 😰. Of course, I only read a portion, and hopefully things will improve later, but I just couldn't continue reading.
