I Absolutely Refuse to Become the Demon King!

This is my first long review, and of course, it's just my personal opinion. This novel is probably the one I've followed most diligently, from being a lurker to now being a "veteran" reader. I've witnessed Shu'er's journey from his childhood dream of becoming the Light Magic Emperor to his current status as the Black Emperor. It's clear that the author has done a great job of character development. Of course, the author's writing is excellent; she skillfully and delicately portrays the characters' emotions within the scenes she describes. For example, the internal monologue between Shu'er and the Demon King—is it a case of "Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai" (a Chinese idiom meaning a willing victim), with the Demon King willing to hit and Shu'er willing to be hit...?

This book is probably the one I've followed the longest on SF (Site Name). I originally came to SF just to read Japanese light novels, but unexpectedly stumbled into a paradise of Chinese light novels. Although this is a recommendation, I can't think of a perfect reason to give it a perfect score. If I had to say, it's that *The Demon King* fits my image of a light novel. When reading other novels on SF, I've asked myself more than once, "Do you think this is a light novel?" After much comparison, I can only shake my head. Why? Because these novels are actually not much different from the leveling-up web novels on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), except...

A very strange novel, but the writing is undeniably excellent. However, the main plot and the order in which characters appear are completely haphazard! It's dug too many holes, and there's not enough foreshadowing to cover everything. It's like it's burying itself in its own mess! The update speed is infuriating. It's a complete mess, but it's really compelling to keep reading. In short, this is the first novel I can't put down, and I hope you'll check it out too. I love vanilla the most! I... I shouldn't overthink it! Hmph!

I felt the plot of this book was decent. I've read several other books in the same genre, but I think the character development in this one was quite good, preventing it from becoming tiresome. The plot progression wasn't too slow either. However, I still didn't quite understand the book's world-building and power levels. I hope the author can clarify these aspects and address the faction issues and other settings in the epilogue. As for this type of cross-dressing story, I find it acceptable.

According to the setting, Shu'er's past lives consisted of four people: Yuan Guangxia, Luo Tian, ​​and ???. If each life had a particularly deep bond with a girl, then Shenwu, Baiyu, the Grim Reaper (speculated reason: so much ink was spent describing this "enemy," who is also a cute girl—deep love and intense hatred?), And the Black Knight (speculated reason: the person who introduced the initial plot of the book, and who also provided assistance to Shu'er and swore to protect him? She was also revealed to be a cute girl). Adding Shu'er's current life (Yulia's speculation: both are on the cover), there should be five people. It would really be better to make Shu'er a real girl (¬_¬), only then...

The hint is that this seems like a good opportunity. Many readers want to read but don't want to waste money, so they think, "Let's read the free chapters first, and if it's good, I'll buy the paid chapters." Many readers probably think this way. Unfortunately, this book is not only slow-paced but also semi-suspenseful. Many events in the early chapters only reveal their deeper meaning in later chapters. Therefore, the heart-wrenching scenes in the free chapters, where Shur tries to prevent tragedy from repeating itself, undoubtedly deterred many readers. "Is he still just a child? And so many high-sounding titles and... With great power comes great destruction. Won't this protagonist grow into a true scourge of the world...? I'm not reading this book."

I feel that one of the two names that weren't displayed is probably the Black Knight's squire, and the other is likely related to the young lady of the Ye family. Luo Tian, ​​the little angel, resurrected the God of War to resist the Grim Reaper, and his death, while absolutely righteous, likely played a rather dishonorable role. Hun Mei's current goal is probably to resurrect the little angel using the Ten Souls Secret Technique. Therefore, my little angel Luo Tian should continue to have a role, right, Loli-chan? #Sharpeningknife #sharpeningknife

Back to Pineapple Buns Pigeon Dead Lolita hasn't updated yet. Missing my old book friends

This is my first long review, and to be honest, I hesitated a bit before writing it because what I say might not be very friendly, but I have absolutely no ill intentions. The protagonist, Shur, has a personality that I find very difficult to understand; sometimes he really seems like a child. However, considering that he only has three or four years of memories, I can accept that. I'm currently reading the "Trial of the Angels" chapter, and I really want to ask: what important connection exists between Shur and the princess? In my view, the princess has only appeared a few times, so how did she develop such a strong bond with Shur? Why would Shur risk everything to save her? And why was Shur refused help by the Demon King and the Supreme Being...?

First, let me talk about the reading experience. As a novel, it should at least have a coherent plot. After reading one volume, I found several chapters completely incomprehensible, jumping from one topic to another with a strong sense of disjointedness. Furthermore, the novel's setting is the most irresponsible I've ever seen. The characters are completely baffling, changing direction drastically. There should be limits to how arbitrarily things are presented. Overall, the idea is good, but the plot is illogical, and the characters and plot points lack logical coherence. It's a terrible book that seems designed to inflate its popularity. I do not recommend reading it.
