Nourishing Life on Qi, I Am Lord of the Demon Court

I'm having surgery tomorrow, a head connective tissue resection. I'm only having this surgery because of financial difficulties. I don't know if it will be successful, and I'm afraid I won't be able to read your books again. Sigh, I'm so sad. 😭 I'll give you my carefully selected monthly pass.

There's something I don't understand. The protagonist has a cheat code; his skills and techniques can be upgraded with a single click. Why would he need to exchange for powerful medicines and resources for arduous training? Shouldn't he be pursuing things that allow his cheat code to level up?

I've finished watching it all. The plot and power-ups are relatively reasonable, and if you don't overpower the characters and maintain the quality, it's definitely a good watch.

Why are all the novels these days about systems? They're always about adding points, especially in classical fantasy and xianxia genres. Using this as a cheat code feels really disjointed.

This book is alright, a bit too basic for beginners. It's about the protagonist fighting level 1 lobster monsters at level 1, and then level 100 fighting level 100 lobster monsters, and so on. The plot and world-building are outdated; it's roughly about a Foundation Establishment/Core Formation Grandmaster, and after the protagonist reaches that level, he's just a regular, low-level cultivator.

It's alright in all aspects, but the downside is that it's slow, it suppresses combat power, it involves writing a lot of trivial things, and it only levels up a little every few dozen chapters. It seems like it will take more than three million words, and it might fall apart if things aren't handled well. Many authors overestimate themselves.

The rate at which a realm depreciates depends on the protagonist's advancement speed.

It's well-written, showing a basic understanding of history. The character's rise to power is gradual and his actions are always appropriate. It has a strong traditional fantasy feel, and I hope it won't turn into a game novel with monster-fighting and leveling-up mechanics later on. The downside is that there are too few scene changes; it's more like a stage play.

The protagonist is a eunuch? A bandit who doesn't even have a wife? Thumbs down.
