The Mystic Deceives Heaven

It was alright, but very tiring to watch. The "downward build-up" approach was fine, but the "downward build" was dragged out too much, with constant ups and downs that made it irritating. To highlight the protagonist, a bunch of characters were dragged in to belittle him, even when the protagonist was starting to demonstrate his abilities. People would find themselves criticizing the protagonist even when they were doing other things.

The moment you make a little progress, you immediately push the intensity up; the moment you reach a certain level of intensity, you try to break through in the heat of battle. It's pointless, utterly pointless.

It's so stifling, every time it's a push to the limit.

The whole Five Emperors and Five Directions cultivation process is just ridiculous. Every time the cultivation begins and they reach the level of advancement, there's this endless dragging out of the plot, it's truly exhausting to read. They say the First Emperor needs this to survive, but then there's this whole mess of plot points.

Just change it to an academy competition and be done with it.

The theme is fresh and interesting. I've read about twenty chapters so far and couldn't help but leave a comment. There are too many messy side plots, which deviate a bit from the main theme and make it quite unpleasant to read.

The author's writing is quite good, but so far I feel there are a few areas that could be improved. First, the author intended for the protagonist to be a teacher, spreading knowledge throughout the world, but so far I've mostly seen the protagonist's individual strength being showcased, without much emphasis on the teacher's role.

Every breakthrough leads to trouble, every breakthrough leads to trouble, so you're pushing for higher intensity, huh?

Why do so many online novels about the First Emperor fail to become popular? Because the First Emperor has a very high historical status. Most protagonists who travel to the Qing Dynasty rebel, but those who travel to the Qin Dynasty almost always assist the First Emperor. That means the protagonist always has a powerful father figure above him, which makes readers feel frustrated.

This is outrageous! Other stories about the Spring and Autumn period focus on the struggle for Dao, but the author's approach is the opposite. The old coin is just waiting for others to clear the path to immortality before taking his place… This is the first time I've seen a setting that goes against human nature.
