Sword Pointed at Fragrance

I spent a lot of time carefully reading this book, and I was deeply moved after finishing it. As a bookworm with over ten years of experience, online novels have been a part of my life from high school and university through my working years, and now even after marriage and children. My understanding of online novels has constantly evolved. Before I started working, urban novels gave me a beautiful fantasy, filled with all sorts of wishful thinking and beautiful women. However, after starting work, I realized that novels are just novels, and real life is very cruel. During this period, I developed a strong aversion to online novels, especially those featuring naive characters, overly idealistic protagonists, wish-fulfillment fantasies, and wish-fulfillment. I felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred towards the protagonists, without any sense of identification. What I saw wasn't inspiration, motivation, or encouragement to face difficulties; instead, it was all sorts of simplistic, childish stories. … Today, I had the opportunity to read this book. The writing is excellent, the plot is unique, and it's finally not about special forces soldiers, bodyguards, miracle doctors, or deceptively deceptive CEOs. Having read it for so long, what is the main plot? Is it exploring the reason for the protagonist's death? Or the mystery of why the protagonist transmigrated? What puzzles me most is that the protagonist always participates in inexplicable missions, and they are all forced upon him. The protagonist lacks a clear plan to investigate the mystery of his own murder. The plot is entirely driven by a behind-the-scenes figure, with the protagonist acting like a lab rat, led around on a leash. This is the book's biggest flaw. After reading it, I felt that the protagonist constantly encounters beautiful women and gets endlessly entangled with them. There's no leveling up, no power system, no farming or making money, and no political or business intrigue. So what is the protagonist's dream? His dream in his past life was so grand, and he strived and fought for it relentlessly. Now? I see nothing. I only see a puppet clown being led around on strings, devoid of his own dreams, career, and pursuits. Even being a spoiled brat has its own pursuits, right? Honestly, did the protagonist ever strive or work hard? The book is excellent in other aspects, but the main plot is very strange. After reading it, I still don't know what the protagonist is trying to do, what his final pursuit is, or what his dream is. He's given up on his spoiled brat pursuits. What else is there? Don't make it so mysterious. I hope the protagonist has aspirations and dreams, instead of being treated like a puppet, led around on missions whose logic and rationality have completely collapsed. Thank you for reading my rant.

The author's writing is excellent! The beginning was a pleasant surprise; I thought, "How come I only discovered such a good book sooner?" Around chapter 400, I really didn't want to read anymore. The protagonist lived two lives, each more convoluted than the last. I finally understood—he's just a rich, clueless fool, nothing special! No wonder he dragged his subordinates into trouble in his past life. I can't read any more…

I really hope they release a follow-up outfit.

I just want to know which region Minghai is...

Will the author continue writing books? @

I'm extremely dissatisfied with the ending, and I don't understand why the other girls weren't given a proper resolution.

Is there any further update?

It's finally finished! Uncle, you're so slow!

The protagonist was cuckolded twice; did the author write this based on their own experience? A green meadow on his head?

Can't you give the main character some face? It's obvious they don't like you, yet you still shamelessly climb up to them. Seriously, it's disgusting!
