Online Game: The Primordial Era

I was bored and looking for books on some small websites when I stumbled upon this book, *The Ancient Wasteland*. I'd looked for many books before, but most I only read a chapter before giving up—the formulaic plots were nauseating. Actually, I don't care about the formulas, I just hate the protagonist's pretentiousness and the villain's idiocy!

Do you really think that Yu the Great did nothing at all, passing by his home three times without entering? Don't forget, his wife later turned into a stone statue waiting for her husband, while Sun Wukong sprang from a stone. Crucially, Yu the Great's magic staff even obeyed Sun Wukong! Do you think that when Sun Wukong froze the seven fairies, nothing happened?

There are too many books on my bookshelf... I've subscribed to over four hundred chapters but haven't read them yet... I don't know when I'll want to read them...

After reading several dozen chapters, to be honest, the world-building has potential for further development, the setting is good, and the gradually unfolding plot shows that the author has put a lot of effort into this book. However! The plot is riddled with holes, the behavior and backgrounds of the main and supporting characters are illogically inconsistent, their intelligence is consistently…

This book was actually alright, but the problem is that the protagonist is portrayed as incredibly useless. If the protagonist doesn't have a protagonist's halo, if he's not ahead of everyone else, then he's not a protagonist. No wonder the author keeps complaining that nobody reads his book. Readers blame the author for writing badly, and nobody wants to read it.

It's always the main character with a useless, troublesome fat guy by their side. It's really toxic...

I'm discouraging reading about fat friends, not because I look down on fat people, but because four out of ten fantasy novels have a fat friend, it gives me the creeps.

There's an aura of forced stupidity; the protagonist doesn't seem very bright. There are all sorts of suspicious and abnormal points. Does the protagonist just force himself to accept them? The plot arrangement is too awkward. Why make him the protagonist? Is there anything special about him? He's neither here nor there. Emperor Wu of Han was at least number one, and he was always number one.

It's been hundreds of chapters already, and they're still battling it out with the players. It's exhausting to read. I can't even keep going if I skip 10 chapters at a time.

The protagonist died in over 200 chapters. I must say the theme and world-building were very appealing, but the behavior of many characters, including the main character, was simply unacceptable.
