After Killing the Hero, the Saintess Ran Off to Become the Demon Emperor

My friend is getting married, and I'm currently out of town, so I need to take a day off.

It was originally a pretty good article, with a good start, but then the filler content disappeared.

While the current plot and writing style aren't exactly padded, this approach, by focusing too much on one thing or one event, results in extremely slow overall plot progression. It feels like after a month of reading, there's been almost no new information. Compared to the earlier chapters, there's a lack of clear plot direction and "down-to-earth" content. The overemphasis on complex, singular details and numerous unresolved plot points also negatively impacts the reading experience, only exacerbating the sense of "emptiness" that comes with such complexity. After all, the earlier chapters were not only complex and profound, but also had clearly defined characters, backgrounds, and plot development. Now, it gives the impression of, "Ah, another new power, a new conjecture, a new..."

It's completely unwatchable. The plot is really mediocre and incredibly padded, lacking any depth. Fighting a minor monster takes several chapters, and a boss fight takes over ten chapters. The fight scenes are utterly unimmersive; the constant use of space-breaking mechanics is ridiculous. If space were so easily broken, would the world even exist? And almost all the fights aren't from the protagonist's perspective; it's practically third-person. I just can't stand it anymore.

I don't know why, but the style at the beginning is so different from now.

This book has a major flaw: the pages frequently become stuck and impossible to turn. Read with caution.

Could it be that the author treats this as a hobby, writing whatever comes to mind without any drafts or outlines?

The first few chapters were okay; I thought it would be a satisfying read, so I bought it after hoarding it for half a year, only to be fed a mouthful of shit. The fight scenes were terribly written, especially the villains. They all made arrogant entrances, acted cocky, and were always surprised and complaining when they saw the protagonist. This clichéd and awful writing style was really fatal.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this book. First, the strengths: the author clearly has literary talent; the writing is fluent and the imagery is vivid. The pacing is fast, and the plot is almost entirely enjoyable from beginning to end. The protagonist is interesting, with a well-defined personality, and the story unfolds naturally. Now, the weaknesses: the most serious issue, in my opinion, is the lack of clarity in the characters' emotional development. The romantic subplots are too weak. Take Alice as an example: her story generally unfolds in three phases—first, she encounters difficulties, then the protagonist intervenes to resolve them, and finally, her emotions escalate. It's a very classic formula…
