After successfully defeating the Demon King, Lu Lixiu, a Chosen Hero, was persecuted as an unstable element deemed a threat to peace.
To avoid the worst possible outcome, Lu Lixiu decided to create a job for himself: become the new leader of the demon race, and stage a one-person show as both the Hero on the left and the Demon King on the right.
But who could have guessed that his former companions, who had once traveled alongside the Hero, had long been nursing rebellious thoughts?
The knight loyal to the kingdom, the priest devoted to the Holy Light, the scheming, obsessive mage: why were they all pledging allegiance to the new Demon King?
To keep his identity as both Hero and Demon King from being exposed, he had no choice but to play the part to the hilt!
But...
"Can someone tell me why being the Demon King means I have to wear a dark Gothic dress fit for a mature woman?!"
"Because you are the mother of us demons, our honored Lu Lixiu... No, Her Majesty the Empress, the honored Xiu Liluer."
It turns out the author was banned.
The demons entered the palace as if it were their own backyard, while the protagonist was timid and hesitant in prison, doing nothing but eating and sleeping—it was too tedious.
It's clear the author put a lot of effort into the writing and intended to make the story long; the work is indeed quite good. However, I have to pour some cold water on that later on. The end of the first volume, the Holy Kingdom arc, left me feeling quite frustrated. This frustration either needs to be released sooner or the focus shifted to other events. It's unacceptable to concentrate on the Holy Emperor's threat for several consecutive chapters while the protagonist can only helplessly rage.
I haven't watched it yet, but I have a question: Is the hero a man and the demon king a woman? Does the character switch between male and female identities? Is the male or female identity the primary identity?
Which side is the protagonist on? His reluctance to massacre the city shows he cares for the people, but he also vows to lead the demons. Is he trying to switch sides?
Looking at the table of contents gives me the illusion of searching for papers on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).
After watching it, I only have one question: After the male protagonist becomes the Demon King, he is actually a man, but he appears as a woman.
Those strong female warriors must have a child with a protagonist, right?
Did the former Demon King really send it?
Great! I'll support it with my monthly pass!
