Conquering the Savage Wilderness

It's an old novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it back then. Now, rereading it feels like someone's dug up my grave and is using it to desecrate my corpse—what kind of logic is that? And some people are saying it's a formulaic story; I'm speechless.

Ah, the nostalgia! I used to read this book on my grandma's old-fashioned phone. It was the second web novel I ever read. I've been misremembering the title these past few years and think it's "Martial Hegemony of the Wilderness" 😁, so I haven't been able to find it. When I read this time-travel novel back then, I really wanted to travel into the world of the novel myself.

I followed this book from my first year of high school all the way to university, and it finally had an ending that wasn't quite an ending. Novels without a female lead are very rare; this is a sensitive topic that authors generally don't want to touch. Back then, I followed it because I was drawn to its grand scale and vast map. Each major realm has an insurmountable gap, and even the protagonist can't fight beyond that realm—this setting really appealed to me.

I can't help but comment that it feels like every enemy of the protagonist looks down on him, saying they'll kill him in a few moves. Then, when an enemy is about to die, they'll say things like, "The protagonist is doomed." Every time the protagonist fights an enemy, they say they'll torture him to death, and then the enemy is killed by the protagonist in a few moves.

After reading the introduction, I feel it's equivalent to saying I'm not rich but I have over twenty houses, thirty-odd cars, and forty-odd wives.

It's absolutely awful; every character's IQ is below 30. They're all cut from the same cloth—they make a grand entrance, then get instantly killed by the protagonist. It's incredibly weak.

What a disgusting start! Another "trash-to-hero" story, and he's looked down upon and bullied by all his family brothers. Even the worst villains have harmonious relationships with their brothers. So who's the real villain here?

Don't judge novels written around 2011 with a 20-year perspective; that makes you look foolish. Even though some are considered toxic, that's what novels were like back then. Even *Battle Through the Heavens*—look at it now, isn't it toxic?

This is ridiculous! It's repetitive! ~😰😰😰
