From Blood Mage to the Patriarch of the Nether River

The protagonist frequently displays inexplicable righteousness. This inexplicable righteousness is really annoying. On one hand, the author emphasizes the protagonist's cold-blooded and decisive personality, and on the other hand, they throw in this inexplicable righteousness. Isn't that jarring? If the protagonist were a hot-blooded, immature type, this would be fine.

I couldn't stand seeing the male and female leads recognize each other in the new dungeon. Something felt off from the middle of the Dragonborn arc. I initially thought the protagonist helped the Dragonborn to resolve the threat in the North, but the female lead, a simulator player, just sacrifices herself, and the dragon soul is given to the male lead—are they destined to be together forever?

Was he ever a Blood Mage? This is just a bunch of random, presumptuous statements.

Before my last book was published, I managed to write something by imitating other people's ideas, but after it was published, my original work immediately fell apart.

The protagonist kills people while claiming to be a good person, eliminating evil for the people. You're a blood mage and a necromancer, and you think you're some kind of good guy? You think this person deserves to die and that person deserves to die. If you want to write a hero character, don't pretend to be a hero and use the name of a blood mage to do good deeds all the time.

The protagonist is also training his magical artifacts in the background, turning them into two swords with the names of the Styx Ancestor's artifacts automatically appearing on them. It feels like the protagonist's path isn't his own; he's either an avatar or a reincarnation.

All great achievements require sacrifice; other civilizations may not understand, but they must obey. 🐶

Also, if you want to write a righteous protagonist, don't give it a villainous title. A portion of the readers attracted by such titles are only interested in the story itself. I was one of them; I was thrilled to find a book I liked because of its title, only to have the protagonist turn out to be a hero. Aren't you just asking for trouble? That's like forcing a chili pepper on someone who doesn't eat chili peppers; I'll curse you to death.

The idea that you're taking the righteous path after the Blood Mage has reached the River Styx is utter nonsense. Everyone who was drawn in by the title wasn't looking for an evil villain.

The female lead appears around chapter 40? A woman appears? And she's always clinging to the male lead? You're writing a mage story; if you're going to have a female lead, it should be in the mid-to-late stages. Isn't it boring that every plot point in the early stages involves a woman? Can't you find a girlfriend in real life?
