Review Detail of Darkdelusion in I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

To be fair, let me begin by saying that the novel is not necessarily bad. The idea is decent and while it is tedious at times, it is better than most novels in the trial read. Heck, if I didn't read till ch150 in raw, I would have given it a 4-4.2. But I did and all I can say is that the amount of propaganda in this novel is downright ridiculous to the point that I can't read without cringing. Basically, the story is primarily based on an alternate world where Federal Empire, aka alternate China, is the strongest (no problem with this one) and most compassionate nation in the planet. Every 5 chapters, there is a description of Federal Empire is righteous, helpful, compassionate etc. Every time MC opens television, which is after every 10 chapters or after end of an arc, we get the news reporter talking about how Federal Empire helped X nation, how X nations were begging to be a part of Federal Empire, about how great and righteous Federal Empire people are etc. Sure, multiverse also exists, but we don't get much description about their nations/societies coz apocalypse is upon them. Here are some key points of the novel which 'stood out' to me: 1. Silla and Fushang (Alternate S.Korea and Japan) regularly organize mass campaigns to plead/beg for a chance to be a part of federal empire. But Federal Empire (alt China) rejects them coz FE is way too awesome to have them. 2. United Kingdom of Butania (aka Britain) got reduced from the biggest empire of the world to UK because of Federal Empire. Additionally, it was Federal Empire, with its righteousness, that liberated the colonies occupied by Butania, aka britain. 3. It's not just Silla and Fushang. Almost all nations in South-east Asia rely on Federal Empire for security. It is only under the leadership of FE that they can avert threats. These nations frequently beg FE for help. FE helps them because they are a righteous nation. (This is followed by 2 paragraphs of how FE is the most morally superior nation in the world) 4. If you have the blood of immigrants(not just refugees but also legal immigrants), you can't become a FE citizen. Also, it is only right and morally just for the government to monitor them on a weekly basis because immigrants (again, not just refugees but legal as well) are all potential threats to the nation. Based on the logic of the author (this scene has not occurred in novel but if the laws of FE were applied in RL, this is what would happen), a person, their mother/father as well as grandfather/grandmother can be born and raised in the nation. However, if their ancestors are immigrants, they can't be trusted nor become the citizens of FE unless there is a special circumstance. They need to be grateful for the compassionate and righteous FE for providing them shelter otherwise, they will simply deport them. (Deport where? Citizenship is based on birth or naturalization, not ethnicity. Which nation would take them?) Justification- Excerpt from the chapter after one of the 13 temples or smt was pawed by the kitten- "Don't ask. Only those of the same race can be trusted." 5. Found it pretty weird how enemies cursed Federal Empire by praising them. Excerpt from ch 142 - "Although she was young, she knew that this nation of benevolence and righteousness was the root of her problems! Without their rise, today's Butania would still be a world empire where the sun would never set!" (Who tf praises the nation which destroyed their empire through warfare, not diplomacy, as benevolent?) 6. When MC was being encouraged to date and marry by the govt, I thought that the nation had low population or smt. But nah, it seems like the population is 2 billion with overpopulation problems. Turns out they needed him to date and marry because his parents were class A contributors. I guess only children of good Han people are beneficial for the empire. 7. There was also the part about Shang dynasty, which I guess is already TLed
