This novel is like a nightmare. It’s a portrayal of everything wrong with China amplified on a galactic scale (literally). The society in the novel is vain, unintelligible, full of corruption, lawless, dystopian, etc. It’s really ironic whenever I read these types of novels becuase the author is clearly writing this to be a horrible society, but doesn’t realize that they are replicating China (or maybe they do). I am disappointed more and more with the new novels on this site. Is it so hard for Chinese authors to write something original or not downright stupid? Chapters 1-40 were not too bad of a read except for a few small things. Immediately gets weird from 41-50 and you can tell the story quality has dropped. This continues for roughly 100 chapters. After chapter 150 the novel devolves into a load of grabage. Its essentially just the same face-slapping garbage cultivation novel but with even more stupid idiots. Everyone ‘investigates in detail’ the MC but somehow always miss the blaringly obvious. Here’s the key issue: the MC is somehow the ‘King of Assassins’ but exposes himself and does extremely stupid shit constantly that could’ve easily been avoided without any difficulty. Sometimes he cleans up the loose ends 20-40 chapters later, but the only reason he gets away with it is plot armor. He says he doesn’t want to alert the enemy, and then he goes and creates mayhem and alerts the enemy. Don’t even get me started on the author’s obsession with China in this one. I am reminded by the author at least once every 10 chapters how China conquered the universe. Apparently 80% of all humans in the universe are Chinese becuase China is “the best at colonizing and adapting.” I don’t think China remembers that they were the one who always got invaded and conquered... According to the novel more than 3000 years have passed since the colonization period and the government is now “The Alliance,” yet somehow people are proud of their ‘Chinese blood’? Everyone always refers to their Chinese blood when they get offended and for some reason that makes them unable to withstand offense. (Starting to think that Chinese people might have a complex). Let’s list some of the other things: - Traditional Chinese arhitecture is somehow more expensive than gigantic skyscrapers - New Year’s is on Jan 1 but for some reason it lasts 10 days and everyone gives red packets? (Don’t really understand why the author felt the need to use the Western New Year’s Day instead of Chinese New Year... maybe its their complex again). Honestly, I’ve vented enough by now and am too tired to elaborate more. I’m still going to continue reading the novel as there’s nothing else, so maybe I’ll feel more aggrivated and add on to the review.

don't you know that you are reading a Chinese novel written for Chinese readers? It's like anime/manga where something happens only in Japan and superhero comics/movies with USA. If I would ever write a novel there is a chance that Mongolia would be a center of universe, where space nomads are conquering galaxies.
By that logic all novels written by a British person must be about the UK? Imagine if Harry Potter was like that lmao. You’re clearly just a Chinese shill who can’t argue with any of my points and instead chose to gaslight me. How pathetic you are..
I haven't met such a stupid person for a long, long time 😂 You clearly can't even read (or understand) my comment and you are still trying to talk back, lmao😂😂😂
erm.. theres only 40 chapters, what are you on about with the whole timestam** for when novels devolve in chapters and whatnot?
Maybe he read the raw?
