Water Margin: I Am Zhu Biao

There's just too much nonsense going on. The protagonist seems pretty useless; it's tiring to read and there's no motivation to keep going. The pacing of the plot is a complete mess. Do they even understand the concept of focusing on the big picture and ignoring the small details? Less emphasis on trivial matters? The protagonist hasn't done a single thing in dozens of chapters; no wonder the show isn't doing well.

This book certainly has its merits. What moved me most was the love between Wu Song and Diao Chan. Zhang Fei turned against his sworn brother Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, to save Wang Mang. I was especially moved to tears when I heard that Guo Jing gave up his position as leader of the Sun Moon Sect and resolutely wandered the world with Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword.

It's well-written, though the pacing is a bit fast; it's still a rare gem. There's one minor issue: is it really appropriate for Pang Qiutang to call her savior, who held an official position, "the boy from the Zhu family"? Whether considering their status, the debt of gratitude, or even politeness, this form of address shouldn't be used repeatedly.

Your pace is fast, but it's all just a bunch of trivial, tedious nonsense that's exhausting to watch. You have to get involved in every little thing, stepping in another pile of shit before you've even cleaned it up.

It was readable at first, but recently the plot has started to fill in filler chapters, which is tolerable. However, the writing has gotten progressively worse in the last few days. I suspect it's being assisted by AI. Every chapter contains the phrase "but... But... But..." Several times. These days, any book that uses "but... But..." Several times in every chapter is unlikely to be of high quality.

So many trivial things happened along the way. One or two times was fine, but every chapter was full of problems and conflicts. It started with Chai Jin, then Wu Song and Lin Chong were fine, but later on, there was city lockdown, bandits, being robbed at a hotel, and even an inn was full of spies. Who could stand writing like this?

There are only six chapters so far, and that's already the second part of the martial arts story, the Snow Mountain Temple arc. Isn't that too rushed? Also, don't overdo the plot armor; it'll ruin the story. Too many similar novels have had such ridiculously overpowered plot armor that they couldn't continue writing.

It's so tiring to watch! The protagonist never gets a moment's rest, he's exhausted!

There are only 18 chapters in total, and so many heroes have already appeared? That's too rushed! A pace that's too fast isn't good, but a pace that's too slow isn't good either. The author needs to control the pace better.

It was padded out right from the start, and the plot dragged on too much.
