Is It Wrong to Bully My Wife?

It's strange, I clicked on a paid app to read free content, and when I saw the title, wow, it was another fanfiction about the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King. If you're really going to write this, you should go to a certain online platform, not here. I scrolled through 120 chapters, and the more I read, the stronger the flavor became. No offense intended, but newcomers should take it easy when reading this, since none of us are rich. You can find plenty of similar works on Baidu, with many variations. Maybe I'll read the later chapters when I have more money, and then the flavor might be milder.

The first chapter is just about the infamous, crooked-mouthed war goddess grandmother looking down on her granddaughter, her husband using his divine power to eliminate evil, her family kneeling and begging for mercy, and her husband letting the family go out of respect for his wife. Is that interesting? Looking down on you is perfectly normal; comparing ordinary things to great wealth, and instead of helping your wife give her grandmother a grand gift, you embarrass her. Are you just showing off and being slapped in the face? Are you so arrogant? Where is your wife? Where is your family? Don't they have any shame?

Having read this novel so far, I'd like to share two observations. First, the author possesses considerable literary skill; the word choice is precise, and the plot flows smoothly, making it quite excellent for a novel like this. However, it's a pity that this strength isn't utilized in the novel's detailed character development, such as atmosphere, scene description, and character appearance. My knowledge of Li Yunxi's appearance is limited to a scene from the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" that the protagonist copied and a brief illustration; the protagonist's appearance remains unknown, except that he's handsome (lol). Second, the plot starts strong but declines quickly. The reason is clear: the author's...

First of all, the author uses the same old tropes from several years ago's wish-fulfillment novels: being mocked at a birthday celebration, having her gift rejected, and then a high-status outsider suddenly showing up uninvited, praising the gift's excellence. Even the description of the female lead's state of mind before this slap in the face is a tired, formulaic approach; she's almost in tears from the rejection, and then the male lead comes to her rescue—this part of the plot is a complete shock to the female lead's character. Then, the uninvited high-status person turns out to be there to propose marriage to the male lead's wife on behalf of his master. Just from this, you can probably guess what happens next, right? I'm sick of these mindless wish-fulfillment novel tropes. Let's read a bit...

I admit I was drawn in by the plot, and I thought the beginning was quite good and fresh. Since I haven't read many novels, I prefer a relatively strong male lead rather than the overly kind, gentle type. The female lead's character development was good in the early parts; she was consistently good, though she occasionally turned ruthless, which was fine. However, it was only in the later parts of the novel, especially when Su Liang started to show his domineering side and become more impulsive, that I felt it became increasingly absurd. I can understand the invincibility, superior vision, and strength combined with feigning weakness to outsmart others; I can even accept the enemies' reduced intelligence, because it's a familiar trope. But the way it was handled...

The title and introduction are quite appealing, and with careful planning, it could become a good work. Putting everything else aside, the framework is perfect for a fast-paced, action-packed story. However, I find it hard to accept why the author wrote it this way. Simply put, the plot is utterly nonsensical. The beginning makes the protagonist a cripple, which is cliché, but you can't just keep bragging and then act all high and mighty. If you're going to be arrogant, do it quickly; what's the point of waiting a few days? As for the plot, could you please provide more details about the protagonist's past? The rest is just a bunch of mind-numbing buffs and common tropes, but readers are seasoned veterans...

The protagonist's eyes have been constantly narrowing in the last few chapters, which is making it difficult for me to read. The descriptions need to be more concise; focus on the skill scenes. Even a detailed description of someone taking down an opponent with a single punch would be better than the current barrage of facial descriptions. Lately, it's all been facial descriptions, so I couldn't help but write a comment. Also, the three levels and nine stages of martial arts should be explained. Cross-realm combat isn't the problem; the real issue is the explanation of the realms. What level is a half-step grandmaster? When will Su Liang's Senluo World be unleashed in combat? What are the special effects of "Extreme Emotion, As for Intent"? Does it allow true intent to produce effects similar to living creatures? Can't the Senluo World even simulate some exotic beasts? Lately...

This plot seems so familiar. After looking at the first few dozen pages, I feel like it follows the same formula as "The Son-in-Law". Is it an ancient version of "The Son-in-Law"?

Isn't this just another run-of-the-mill wish-fulfillment novel?

Holy crap, I can even find the Dragon King series here! Holy crap!
