This book is definitely going to be abandoned. It won't even get to the point where the protagonist becomes the master of heaven and earth. Judging by the current pace, even the lowest-level deity's upgrade will take hundreds of chapters of padding. In between, there will be a ton of miscellaneous events, interpersonal relationships, and everything else will be padded out.
Well, this is a novel with very obvious strengths and weaknesses. The strength is the author's skill in depicting ancient life; the weakness is the limited imagination. Even if you're a crippled Water Emperor, how can you still be bound by the law of conservation of energy? Putting aside other things, at least create some spiritual water every day. Ordinary Taoist priests can at least refine things like Five Thunder Water, Purifying Water, and Sweet Dew.
Precise advance retreat
I've accurately predicted several of them. They all started off very well, with a great first part, but then became increasingly weak and eventually ended up being abandoned. Here are two criteria for judging: The first type is where the main plot goal is set very high, but the progression of the story's development is extremely slow.
The rest of the story is alright, but the parts involving women are a bit greasy. However, considering the protagonist is a lecherous old man, it's still acceptable. But later on, if he completely shuts down his senses and continues to lewdly flirt, it becomes jarring. Good romance must be genuine; constant greasy flirting just feels like the author's wishful thinking…
Several wives have already starved to death, yet he still marries another. Is the protagonist a time traveler from ancient times?
As you can guess
This isn't meant to be negative; your writing is indeed very good. However, staying in the starting area for so long is too uncharacteristic of online novels. The world-building is also very extensive, raising the "unfinished" rate considerably. I've only had it for less than a month, and it already seems a bit like that.
The book has reached the tenth level of divine status, and after more than 500,000 words, it hasn't even reached the first level yet. This book is heading towards ten million words.
Diao Mao, a martial arts grandmaster who's so indecisive.
It's dragging on too much. The protagonist still has no combat power. What's the point of having a huge world-building if it won't be completed by then?
The more I watch, the more frustrated I feel. Isn't this just a variant of the Qing Dynasty? What's the protagonist's stance? The more I watch, the stranger it seems.
