Translation quality, world background are actually worthy of 4 stars but it will give an overall high review, so I couldn't do it. Not much to say. Till upto roughly 200 chaps, the novel just glorifies china so high that the author says that china has the best legacy than even the Egyptian, Roman, British, Persian, Ottoman Empires, which just proves that the author was dropped on his head when he was a baby. Then after 400 chapters or so, the MC becomes a bloodthirsty maniac that kills anything that obstructs him. Even if some helpless innocents are caught in the crossfire, he would not hesitate, not even a little bit the author describes it as "Zhou Fu's became colder and colder as the more he kills". It was at this point that makes me genuinely feel the urge puke and disgusted by the novel. He justifies killing as his own way of righteousness. Despite being a heavy lover of kingdom building novels, I can genuinely say that this is most detestable of them all. Some reviews above said that MC turns into ruthless rapist, to which I'm not surprised as the MC obtains a statue that can gather Phoenix qi by stealing other king's concubines and empresses, so he won't hesitate to do that. I know that many people are fed of naive, blob of justice MCs that evil MC are the trend nowadays, even I hate them, but this is going way too overboard. If there are alot of people who actually love this kind of character, I'm genuinely feeling worried for the future of humanity if such species of humans reproduces and spreads their plague-genes.
