The fanfic is surprisingly competent despite it being a Chinese fanfiction. There are still hints of Chinese writing culture here but I do believe it stuck closely to the themes and setting of game of thrones. But after reading up to chapter 354 I'm getting tired of the plot, the schemes, the dialogue, and especially the characters. Honestly, I only have a problem with one character and that is Rhaenyra. Throughout the story I've always questioned what has Rhaenyra done so far in these 300 chapters aside from being a pain to read about. She is spoiled and arrogant with the one of the few saving graces is she was nice to the MC when he was young. Which I found rather odd since the MC has stated that he wasn't treated well when he was sick but this was never shown. The MC's orders were always followed and he was never shown to be mistreated. So this blind loyalty and affection for Rhaenyra just comes off wrong and forced. She always dictates her will over him and he follows like a blind puppy. She honestly should never have been the main female lead. As for everyone else, they are dumb and despite having motives and desires, always performs stupid schemes that never work out and only serve to show how smart and domineering the MC is despite him just brute forcing every political scheme. Overall the novel tries to capture the essence of GOT but fails with setups/buildups, characters, and overall direction of the story.
