DragonPlague — With his review, he sold me this novel!!
Okay, no kidding, I've read several such novels where the main character was blacklisted in China, he went somewhere abroad and became famous.
In such novels, logic is completely absent from the word, because Chinese censorship does not allow such a plot to be used, China cannot be bad. Therefore, the authors basically kill the logic of what is happening by adding characters who suddenly begin to humiliate China, and the MC rebuffs them, shaming them, because China is great and powerful, and so on.
Duplicity, hypocrisy, idiocy and licking China's ass — that's what you'll find in such novels. That's why I didn't want to read it at all until I saw the DragonPlague review XD\ .
I haven't read much here yet, but the signs described above have already begun to appear, but let's see what happens next.
By the way, the quality of the novel could not be lower, the author seems to be trying, but he makes monstrous mistakes. Like, for example, he sold the scripts for the movie Get Out and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for that movie. And the author seriously writes that the screening of the film Get Out began AFTER the OSCARS!!! How can you reward a movie if it hasn't been released yet?
It's a very good start, especially when you're expecting the usual Chinese nonsense. But it was only at first glance, the editors of the site with the novel, apparently, made a fuss, and the author began to write standard stuff about the love of China, that China is the best in the world!
The funny thing is, even in a parallel world, China still has the same level of censorship, as I understand it, the party is also against changing the order of China, even the fucking web novels, China is the same throughout the multiverse!
The main character is a standard guy with no balls, he can't even sleep with a woman who is in love and wants him. Next, about the choice of films, Chinese films are incredibly boring, they are also written very poorly, when the MC makes foreign films, the author at least tries to pretend that the MC is a director and he knows his business.
But Chinese films are a complete mess, there are constant endless dialogues between characters you don't even know, constant conflicts with other directors in China, and everything that is possible, but nothing about the filming itself.
Well, maybe he'll say "action" in one line. That's all, the whole arc with Chinese films is complete nonsense, and Western films, which the author has already worked a little bit on, are also lost against the background of the Chinese adaptation.
At the same time, realizing that his imagination is not enough to adapt some Western films, the author writes clarifications to lick China's ass well.
No, in no case do not think that the main character likes the United States, he just wants to make money from them!!!
A disgrace!
Until the main character became a wizard of the 1st ring, everything was more or less okay.
But the author quickly turned Western fantasy into xianxia: a childish storytelling style, dumb characters and meaningless dialogues to reveal the world. At some point, all the characters start chatting non-stop and telling the main character what they're talking about...
A lot of fillers, a boring plot and a storytelling style killed this novel.
Not bad, the plot in the first two or three chapters is slower. Then it accelerates quickly with timeskips, in principle, you can safely read.
But the logic is lame, as the main character immediately began to master the bow and arrow, also how to fight with swords, and then command an army in a few days. This is a strange decision.
But I was disappointed by the author's path, again the idiotic interracial trope in the plot. Where the main character is ready to live peacefully with the beastmen. Although we were clearly told before, the beastmen don't leave human prisoners, they kill and eat them.
Apparently, the author read and watched a lot of anime with catgirls, so he decided to follow the call of his heart, not his mind.
An interesting concept about an Immortal Librarian, but the execution is lame. The first story was good, but then the author decided to speed up the pace and added 3 characters at once and wrote 3 different stories that should come together at the end.
To be honest, it's not a bad idea, but it's exhausting to read, you're not interested in these characters, because they haven't been revealed by the author before.
The author wrote a lot about the 1000-year-old main character, he doesn't care about other people anymore, because they will all grow old and die, and he will only be sad about their loss until he forgets about them. Here he helps them solely for selfish purposes in order to master new skills.
The problem is, when you have a main character like that, you don't care about new characters too. You can read several chapters about their stories and adventures, but the author has gone into graphomania, he writes and writes, more than 40 chapters have passed, and three characters have not even met, each has their own adventures. Why would that be, when you've set a goal that, even though they go their separate ways, they should meet at the end of the arc and go on together? But the author continues to pull the story of each character when he has already read 3 mini-arcs of each of the three characters with difficulty and you think the ending of the arc is already close, but no, the author continues to write new adventures for these 3 characters.
It's funny that when the free chapters ended, the author, traditionally for Chinese authors, wrote about his thoughts, where the plot was heading, and so on. It seems that Chinese readers also share my point of view about the Trio's story arc, and the author whines about it, saying, read all the chapters, don't skip, otherwise you won't understand what will happen to them at the end!
With this performance, no one gives a damn about this Trio, that's why I'm dropping the novel at this point, bye everyone!
An attempt to create a standard template in the form of a cheat for lords in everyday life looks interesting.
But if in novels about lords you can play with the plot as you want, then in the modern world the genre of everyday life is a cheat and the meaning of the whole novel is quickly dying. If the initial chapters can be read with curiosity, how will the author beat this cheat?!
Then with each new chapter, the plot recedes into the background, and you read the same thing over and over again. The main character has received information that will help him earn money, he earns this money, gets information again, and so on in a circle.
The author tried to dilute the monotony and boredom with comedic episodes, but, frankly, it was too boring for that.
At first glance, it looks like a promising novel, but the whole structure becomes clear already in chapter 5, then there is a repetition of the same thing.
Not bad, but the author couldn't prescribe a cheat, there's very little of it. The plot is sometimes very boring, the pace of the narrative is ragged, which is sometimes very fast, 5-6 events in a few lines, sometimes the whole chapter is about some kind of nonsense.
In general, it's not bad, but it's immediately clear that the novel was written on the go, without plans, drafts and other things. There is no open racism like in ordinary Chinese novels, although what kind of China is it if it is a Western fantasy world?.. I thought until I read to the moment with magicians, and that Chinese characters turn out to be the magical language from which magicians cast their spells, I almost fell off my chair in This moment, lol.
There is every chance of events developing where the entire noble class will eventually turn out to be rude foreign barbarians, and the magicians are wise Chinese! (Let's see if the author has the balls to abandon this path under the pressure of the site and the editors.)
It has drawbacks: foreigners are bad, only the Chinese are good, and so on. But this is already an order from the state, there is no way without it.
But this is one of the best in its genre (multiple "loot/reward"). He is very dynamic, balanced in terms of retaining the reader's interest, both with the plot and development, but also does not forget about the main feature, the cheat of the main character.
It's a good fanfiction where MC becomes a raven who can travel in the world of movies and anime, but he needs a main character who can change the canon in the worlds he visits, and he chooses the Emperor in this role.
The emperor travels with raven, changes the canon in different worlds and receives various rewards for this, in most cases it is technological knowledge. With their help, he abandons the Web and successfully captures the Milky Way Galaxy.
But already in the later chapters, Raven turns into a babysitter for the Primarchs, he makes sure that they do not betray and start heresy.
Good and funny humor, not Chinese bullshit, as usual, which is unexpected, more or less good story arcs in other worlds.
But it's the choice of other worlds that I don't like, it's either Chinese stuff, or anime, or an anime game, which breaks logic and motivation to read. It works as humor, of course, but it's all very cringe-worthy.
For example, the moment when the Emperor destroyed the United States in the world of the "Three-body Problem" in 15 days, but then he started a war to unite the planet, quickly capturing and destroying those who refused to join the Imperium, but then met China and instead of capturing it suddenly goes to negotiations. China cites many conditions, such as autonomy and the right to withdraw from the Imperium if they want to.
And the Emperor agrees to everything! And immediately after that, he starts aggressively seizing the remaining countries and alliances again.
Well, you understand, if this is China, then logic is dying.
It's too long (fillers), the pace of the narration is very slow, and the routine here seems very strange, especially when the MC has a cheat in the form of a strategic system from a war game.
Instead of the expected wars and battles, the author writes about how MC plays with his cat.
It seems that the author is really a beginner, and he did not have any preliminary preparation of the structure of his entire book, and he began to write about everything that came to mind, in the end it turned out to be uninteresting and tedious to read.
