Legends of Another World About That Great One

Let me preface this by saying this is just my personal opinion, so please don't be offended if you disagree. I bought the entire book; I have a habit of either not buying anything at all, or reading it to the very end. But this book really is driving me off; I can't stand it anymore. The first half is worth reading, a truly excellent work. But the later parts... Emmm, the plot is boring, the characters are monotonous, and it's long and tedious. It feels like the author is just writing a diary, without putting any effort into the writing. The male lead's harem keeps growing, while the female leads have hard-to-remember names and are portrayed in a dull manner. The daily dialogue feels like the author is just padding the word count, like pouring water into a bucket. It's driving me crazy. And...

The male lead seems too cowardly. He's a complete failure; his abilities and personality are totally mismatched. He has no temper at all, like a fake person. Many of his dialogue choices are also problematic. I only think the character design is interesting, but his personality is strange, a bit like someone who isn't normal.

I was immediately drawn to this book when I first started reading novels on Pineapple Bun, but I was so engrossed in "King of Martial Arts" and "Heroes" that I didn't pay much attention. Now, having read almost all the featured novels on the site… I remembered this book and checked it out. The plot is alright, and aside from a few slightly awkward parts, I thought it would be readable. But speaking of writing style… throughout the 270 chapters I've read so far, the description of the longsword is consistently just "four feet," "four feet," and "four feet" (I think this description is cool? Wouldn't it be better to accumulate more descriptive vocabulary about swords or describe their state in more detail?). Secondly, the environmental descriptions are lacking. Good environmental descriptions can foreshadow later plot developments…

This is so frustrating! Are you sure you didn't get the tags wrong? This is supposed to be an invincible story? This is more like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I don't know if my eyesight is failing me lately, but when I looked at the cover, I thought it was two watermelon bellies.

This book got so boring towards the end. The characters' romantic relationships were terrible, and the harem ending was just a bonus. Seriously, what was with all the romance at the beginning? They should have just gotten to the later parts and then developed the earlier ones. The male lead is supposed to be incredibly powerful, but he acts like such a fool—does he even deserve that? It's long, tedious, and completely unengaging; it's incredibly difficult to keep reading. Even seasoned readers will struggle to finish it. And now you're saying the harem ending is a bonus? All I can say is, the beginning was just for show. Oh, I see, the real story starts later. Forget it, I'm not reading anymore.

Is the ending perfect?

The early parts were alright, but the quality plummeted from volume five onwards. It was a real headache to read. From volume five onwards, it became consistently padded. Fight scenes that were usually one-sided stomps could be filled with a chapter of filler, but even that was bad enough; most of the time, both sides were fine after the fight. The emotional aspects were also problematic. Volume five was supposed to focus on Zi Ya, but aside from blushing and the author emphasizing her feelings for Jiu Ye, there was absolutely no indication of her liking him. The more I read, the less I liked Zi Ya. Even the later intervention of Long Ling couldn't salvage the disastrous result.

It was truly frustrating to watch. Every woman seemed to have a chance to step on the main character, and those other women were just as disgusting.

This is, in my opinion, the best work on SF (a Chinese online literature platform). The protagonist is invincible, yet the harem elements are cleverly hidden. The descriptions of the various harem characters—the aloof loli, the mature woman, and others—are all quite well done, and the inner character portrayals are also excellent. While the plot is relatively simple, the ending, though somewhat predictable, suggests the slice-of-life aspects are also quite interesting. The early chapters are filled with dramatic situations, and each volume features a different harem character, so it doesn't feel dry. Most importantly, it updates three chapters a day! That's what you call a truly conscientious author! The poorly written endings of other works make me angry. I hope the author continues, and I'm really looking forward to finishing this one. After all, good works are rare, and money doesn't always guarantee quality...
