The Empress's Fake Heavenly Master

This is a waste of time, emotion, and resources. It's unacceptable. There's no main plot, the daily life is all fortune-telling, the fight scenes are weak, and there's not even a sweet romance. It's already over 500 chapters, and what have we even accomplished? The Ancient Martial Empire's competition will probably fill another 10 chapters, and the conflict between the Ancient Martial Empire and Daqi will fill another 20 chapters, then it'll return to daily life. Fortune-telling is supposed to introduce new events, but it's been so pointless. The Hanmo Sea arc has been incredibly weak since then. At 500 chapters, the protagonist still has no idea about his abilities, the Empress hasn't revealed her identity, and she hasn't tried to win him over. Chu Bingyan's romance started strong but ended weakly, with absolutely no development. 500 Chapters of romance...

I can only say that the initial trope of seemingly casually speaking with magical power was very appealing, but too much of that sweetness becomes cloying. The author seems to think they can rely on this one trick forever, suddenly revealing their realization of the system and wanting to test it out—there's no transition whatsoever. And as one review pointed out, there's too much rambling, treating the author like an idiot. The Xuanwu Sect plotline made me drop the story. I think anyone could see through things; it's not a matter of the reader having an omniscient perspective… The author could have gradually uncovered the identities of various characters, allowing them to showcase their acting skills, then further revealing their apparent ability to speak with magic, before testing the system, and then…

I've been following this series so far, and the beginning was great, but it's become increasingly disconnected. I think there are a few problems: 1. A common problem in works that rely on misunderstandings: the protagonist eventually doesn't even know what they're doing. Take the two most successful examples: Ainz Ooal Gown knows he's not as smart as his subordinates, but his subordinate Diva conjures up a bunch of strategies for him; Lord Shadow is inherently strong, and his subordinates can imagine an entire strategy based on just a few words from him. Readers find this very enjoyable—the protagonist provides the direction, and the others implement it, creating a synergistic effect. In this series, the protagonist doesn't know his own abilities, and the supporting characters are frantically speculating about how strong the protagonist is, but what exactly makes him so strong? Good heavens...

The writing is so watery that it treats these disgusting people. I originally read it as a fun article, but now it feels like shit.

The initial theme and content were quite appealing, but it became very drawn out in the middle, with almost no discernible main plot development. The story relied on characters becoming idiotic to maintain the flow, which became tiresome after a while. Currently, having entered the so-called "sea," the protagonist is still clueless and knows nothing. It's unclear what the story is even trying to convey. The main plot progress is negligible, and the question remains: what is the point of this story, supposedly to heal his sister? Other plot points feel padded and drawn out, relying on constantly telling fortunes to artificially elevate the protagonist's status, just for the sake of showing off and getting revenge—it's all rather pointless. This is my first long review; these are just my personal opinions...

Having read up to chapter 365, the beginning was indeed amazing, but the later parts were really bad. It felt like everyone's IQ dropped. It's one thing to think the male lead has strong predictive abilities, and another to misunderstand his strength at the beginning, but then they just don't explain it back. What are they going to do when it comes to real power later on? Just give him a lucky break and his strength skyrockets? The male lead's IQ is clearly off too. The Book of Prophecy did predict different outcomes during the Empress's rebellion, but while it would affect later major events, it wouldn't have a significant impact on immediate major events. And then you think it's useless and stop reading? The character of the older sister made my blood pressure rise; is someone's got a problem with their brain...?

I'm living in Bengbu now, and the more I read, the less interesting it gets. Everyone has a limit to their patience. I was initially attracted by the title of this novel, but now, after over 400 chapters, it has absolutely nothing to do with the title; it's all just formulaic. From the first chapter where he's telling fortunes, it's still the same formula of telling fortunes. The protagonist has been doing nothing but fortune telling for over 400 chapters—is that interesting? At this rate, how many more hundred chapters can you write? It's really exhausting. In the early stages, the protagonist was afraid of everything, knew nothing, and didn't understand how powerful he was—that's ignorance. But now, almost 500 chapters in, he's only just realized he has some talent—that's just stupidity. He's been telling the Empress's fortune, and just a short while later...

After reading Chapter 194, I really can't stand it anymore. It was very innovative and interesting at first, but after a few fortune tellings, the content gradually felt repetitive. Around Chapter 120, I felt something was wrong. The emotional part was never pushed forward, and the protagonist was always stuck in a cycle of doubting that he was a bad person. Even when it comes to accepting disciples, there is no speculation. I still doubt that I am a bad person. Forget it, I can bear it. Then I followed the title and bought a few chapters. I skipped through more than 300 chapters and repeated the fortune-telling method, but still didn't have any emotional advancement. The protagonist also didn't find out why everyone kept looking for you and was still playing house with a mask on, water,...

I can only say I'm extremely disappointed, and this isn't the first time this author has done this.

The setting of the protagonist is very similar to mine. My sister is seriously ill and I can only work hard in a big city. My sister just thinks that I am very powerful. But in fact, I am not the protagonist of this world. I can only work around and live on the streets. Sometimes when I am hungry, I can only beg others to give me some food. This is not a tragedy for society, this is a tragedy for people. Compared to many poor people, I am already very lucky to be alive. After all, hard work is an important part of life, so even if the fate is not as good as expected. I also have to live, this is the strength from my sister. Rich people will also have the troubles of rich people.
