I have been reading this as a buffer as I've caught up with my main Fics, but was surprisingly interested enough to keep reading for a while. The premise of the novel is quite straightforward, as the name implies: The MC gets stronger, the more he kills. Nothing crazy, but easy to follow. Writing Quality / Stability of Updates: In terms of these two, the FF leaves nothing to be desired. There are already quite a few chapters, and new ones are released on a daily basis. The grammar is also good, and the writing style per se is also high-tier. Development / Characters / World: As I've mentioned, this FF managed to pull me in, and I ended up reading about 100 Chapters within a few days, but ultimately decided to drop it, as minor and later on also major annoyances kept stacking up. Decide for yourself if u can look past these, but I'll just mention some of the problems I had with this. This is a Chinese FF translation, which really shows throughout almost all chapters through the constant subtle racism (albeit not as strong as in other Chinese Fics), racial stereotypes, Chinese propaganda and last but not least, the MC, who is simply called Bi Xiao. Quite catchy right. The second problem is that, for me, the Character development doesn't match the story development. By chapter 100, the MC can almost somewhat match powerhouses like The Ancient One, yet the only significant characters he has met are Black Widow and some of the X-Men. And even with them, he has spoken no more than maybe 20 sentences. Of course, he meets others like Characters from the Blade Movie and various Demons and Demi-Gods, but I personally don't want to read through hundreds of chapters for the MC to finally encounter the "Main Cast", especially when he, at that point, will already will be at the level of Odin or above. That will just lead to our Boy Bi Xiao one-shotting any and all villains, the "Heroes" are bound to encounter. As a sidenote I also see signs of Bella (from Twilight) being chosen as the FL, and I just want to ask: Why? I mean, it comes down to preference, but ... Why? In a world where there are Characters like Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Storm, Jean Grey or Emma Frost, just to name a few, Bella severely underwhelmed me as a choice, dunno. Nevertheless, these are things that stood out to me, but I still have to admit that if u want something of decent quality to read, this FF could definitely be for you. I just couldn't see

I agree with everything this guy said, I hold a firm dislike for romance, and any story that has it is likely to be dropped if the other elements don't hold my attention, this fic fails to do that so I've dropped it

Any non-romance favourites on this platform?

Most of the stories in my library have some romance in it, but it's heavily overshadowed by every other element of the story (as it should be) and is actually written properly, for fics without romance I highly recommend any 'Holy Joker' fanfic

He is, he hasn't updated a story or made a comment in over 2 years, but we must still acknowledge and respect his greatness, even if he's no longer with us. May he rest in peace.
