Demon-Slaying Martial Saint: Starting as a Beggar

The protagonist has no talent, no background, no cheat codes, and even his memories from his past life can't help him. So how can he keep moving forward?

The writing is decent, but surprisingly, it doesn't include any overpowered plot devices or any satisfying moments. There hasn't been a single exciting scene in twenty chapters; such a slow pace is rare.

The story is alright, but given that these are veteran authors, why are there so many typos? Some of them seriously affect the flow of the sentences, and the number of typos increases as the story progresses. Some readers have pointed this out in the comments, but it hasn't been corrected.

What's the point of the protagonist becoming a beggar? Does it make the story more relatable?

I don't understand why a general would refer to himself as a slave? If you were a eunuch, that would be one thing! "Slave" was only used in the Qing Dynasty, and it was a term exclusively for Manchu officials.

It's hard to judge. The most important aspect of fantasy novels is the fun of leveling up by fighting monsters. The beginning was very well done, creating a lot of anticipation. Unfortunately, it jumped too fast and suddenly there were top-tier cultivation techniques and resources. It's like becoming a VIP user. Although you still have to fight monsters and level up, the difficulty is reduced so much that only the actual users can truly appreciate the joy!

The plot is so bland after the ancestral recognition ceremony; they need to do something big!

The remaining ones are all from humble backgrounds.

This book is like brown rice; you can eat it. However, the plot and jokes are all old and not very appealing. It's hard to say whether this is the author's attempt, a leap forward, or an expansion of his expertise in pseudo-historical writing; it deserves careful consideration. As for the framework and writing style, there is still room for improvement. "Serving the emperor with merit, yet serving three masters"—I find this quite fitting.

I feel the author would have been better off not stating there were no cheat codes; otherwise, readers would be constantly nitpicking, trying to find any signs of cheat codes.
