Saving My Corrupted Master

One review of this book is truly insightful: the male protagonist is a complete sycophant to his master, while constantly rejecting his disciples and feigning seriousness. He's also cold and indifferent to supporting characters. The author says NTR (Netorare) is fatal, but weren't the things the master said during the male protagonist's tribulation a form of mental NTR? I really couldn't continue reading when I got to that part.

I've read about half of it, up to the part where the past-life girlfriend and the male protagonist enter the ancient wasteland, and I felt quite uncomfortable. Having read several books, I've noticed that the male protagonists are essentially the same, without any major innovations. They're basically projections of the authors' personalities—you could call them laid-back or unambitious. Perhaps they're gentle, or perhaps they want to become gentler; they crave love, possess limited kindness, and are rather cold-hearted, lacking any truly shining qualities. They lack great benevolence, wisdom, and courage. Without the system, they might be even less capable than ordinary people. Like some celebrities in real life, they only have looks and no acting skills, yet they can earn a lot of money. The male protagonist isn't ambitious, but he can still easily...

There are just too many boring plot points, and the male lead is truly a useless piece of trash. Without that system, he'd probably be worse off than an ordinary person. He has no likable qualities whatsoever—not even the qualities of good or evil. His laziness stems from his reliance on the system, making him utterly uninteresting. He's just a pathetic, heartless person. While the earlier parts are somewhat acceptable, things really fall apart when they get to the Ancient Wasteland. The female leads act like children, lacking any semblance of an emperor. Don't tell me the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm didn't rise to power through sheer force.

I just stumbled upon my comments from back in 2020 when the female master was torturing the male protagonist. I realized how hastily the protagonist forgave her later, giving the impression of having no outlet for his power. The female master said to the male protagonist, "Ah, that person made me feel so good, so incredibly good. I know you like me, but I'm just keeping you hanging on, it's my master's mission," and so on. At the time, I commented "utterly disgusting." Then the male protagonist forgave her so easily and effortlessly. In fact, I could accept his forgiveness; he seemed to have let go. "You have your reasons, but I also have my own things that matter. Now I don't care about you anymore..."

Okay, I've added you to the blacklist.

Sure enough, we've come full circle. This is the only harem novel by Xuebao I haven't read. Other harem novels are just too much to handle, they're all a bit toxic. Xuebao's books are the best, so comfortable to read. This pineapple bun is all about Xuebao; without her, I'll just have to delete it.

In reality, this male lead would be a total MILF (Milk Immortal).

The logic is that the protagonist harbors resentment and even wants to kill his master simply because the master didn't take him with him before leaving.

I just got back from a friend's account. I was planning to write a long review praising this novel, but the comments section left me speechless. If I hadn't just finished reading it, I might have thought some of the comments made a lot of sense... Let me start with my impressions. The beginning was very well-written, with well-developed characters and no illogical or grammatical errors, making it a high-quality novel. The quality of the middle part declined slightly compared to the beginning; some plot points were unsatisfactory, even bordering on disappointing (this is my personal opinion). For example, Mu Zhi's performance when Su Bai broke through. And, undeniably, it was indeed angsty, especially the parts involving Mu...

After reading a hundred pages, I felt it wasn't as good as the other two books; it was more shit than sweet.
