Review Detail of GuzaSan in Start Checking In From the Sleeping Palace of the Empress Dowager

Read the first 10 chapters. Really not much to say about the novel... Pretty bad all around and these days there are so many much better sign in novels (80 years sign in, buddha's palm, turquoise pond just to name a few) It feels really pointless to bother with this. TQ - good Story development - seems to be going in the direction of a harem which I personally don't like because most of the time it kind of consumes the other parts of the plot, which does indeed seem to happen here as well. Character design - There just aren't that many meaningful interactions between the characters. That part where he sneaked into the empress dowager's bedroom and ended up as her lover is odd at best, MC's main characteristic is lustful. World background - seems to be a somewhat normal cultivation world although not really. Most of these kinds of settings in other novels depict sects as overlords that reign over kingdoms and empires but here it seems to be somewhat different. In the first place, why would a sect want to conquer a kingdom? MC gets all kinds of sutras and techniques which sound cool but don't really seem necessary in relation to anything that's going on atm?... The cultivation system is super scuffed, nothing else notable. TL:DR - plenty of other novels that do the same job, 100 times better. Wouldn't recommend.
