Princess? Dragon Girl? Fire!

Wow, time flies! It's been over a year since I last read *Sword Art Online*, and *Zero Power* is already finished. I've witnessed *Zero Power* go from mediocre to so popular, and it's ridiculous that I still don't know the ending. Sigh, it reminds me of when I was urging the author to update back then. Those days are gone, never to return. Sigh... I can't read the author's new book now, but I still wish the author all the best. I hope this book is even more popular than *Zero Power*. I wish the author continued success in their writing. Okay, that's all for now, time to leave.

Out of boredom, having played too many computer games and feeling listless, I remembered I had a SF Lolita app on my phone. I opened it to read some novels, but... The page froze right away. Then I happened to see this novel; the cover was a bit... Well, and the title was very appealing, so I remembered the name, quit, and re-entered. Now, I'm going to look for this book again... Sorry, I digress. The novel's content is novel, the theme is good, and the world-building is engaging, preventing readers from reading without understanding the plot. I imagine many readers share my opinion on this point. ...

Actually, I've been reading this book for quite a while, and I feel it's time to write a long review. To be honest, reading this book gave me a very comfortable feeling, definitely not because of the lewd parts, I swear! Regarding the story background, when Mengmeng showed me the cover of her completed "Zero Power," I wasn't particularly interested, after all, the styles of these two books are worlds apart. "This book isn't within my hunting range," that's what I thought at the time. Later, Mengmeng started writing her new book, and after reading three or four chapters, my general feeling was this: the male lead is another seasoned pervert~ the male supporting character is another tragedy~ the book's morals are still ridiculously low~ especially...

I just found out that Mengmeng's Dragon Girl series has ended. Congratulations! And best of luck with the next installment!

Since Qi Jiguang is included, why aren't Li Rusong, Yu Dayou, and others mentioned? In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, Li Rusong's status is far higher than Qi Jiguang's, and few other famous generals from that period appear. Qi Jiguang is famous not for his navy, but for his military training; after all, he ultimately guarded the nation's borders and was the direct commander of the central army. He can't be solely known for his naval prowess. Yu Dayou, while not a high-ranking official, deserves significant credit for the anti-Japanese pirate campaign, and the modern Shaolin Kung Fu is largely based on his style. Furthermore, Qi Jiguang is famous not for his spear, but for his sword; I wonder if the author has heard of the Xinyou sword technique...

To be honest, the author needs to pay attention to a few things. First, your era is set in the Ming Dynasty... But where did the term "China" come from during the Ming Dynasty? And the word "China" appears repeatedly in the text... The historical context needs attention, because it really feels jarring. After all, gods and such are fictional, but the era is real. Even small errors in using a real historical setting can create a significant sense of incongruity. However, this doesn't detract from the book's appeal, but it would be better to be mindful of it. Also, pay attention to the characters' tone and perspective. Why would a foreigner identify as a foreigner while speaking to their own people, like in the Ming Dynasty...?

Hmm~ I finally managed to squeeze out this book review, but my phone crashed, forcing me to rewrite it. It was so hard to write! I'm a little upset. The Meizu Pro 6 is garbage, never buy it... *Cough* Anyway, let's get to the point. My first book review (actually, a rant? No, just venting lol). Criticism #1: Slow start? It's terrifying! I spent almost 120 chapters writing the ten days leading up to the Kyoto Grand Tournament. Honestly, when I got to the last volume, volume thirteen, I was internally resisting and devastated. I really wanted to see how the story would develop, but it just wouldn't give me that feeling. Maybe I wasn't paying attention? The last volume was really tedious; I forced myself to finish it...

Where to go with zero power?

4 million words? I'm telling you seriously, I'm giving up. I can't keep reading this! QAQ This is inhuman! Good luck everyone, I'm going to find something else. I'll definitely finish this one, but it definitely won't be this one. I'm not pushing myself any further. Everyone, let's do this! (ง •̀_•́)ง

Considering various reasons (including the author's health, the book's ending, and the issue of ceasing to write more), and based on my previous conversations with the author, it's likely that the author's health deteriorated towards the end of the book, which may explain the rushed ending. Furthermore, after the book's unfinished ending, many brief reviews and book reviews offered objective criticism, which likely caused the author some psychological distress. Coupled with health issues, this led to the author quickly abandoning both of their subsequent new projects and ceasing writing altogether. Mengmeng's most successful book is *Zero Power*, which is no longer available for purchase; those who haven't bought it won't find it, and even those who have can't find it through searching...
