Review Detail of averagereaderman in Stealing the Heavens

I am very angry and dropped this novel. Here’s why: Story Development: The way the MC progresses is at a medium level, never too slow and never too fast. On the other hand, about 150 ~ 250 chapters in. He establishes himself as the lover of the princess of Great Yan dynasty. Originally, he didn’t want to love Princess Zhang Le, but grew feelings for her over time. I felt this was a great development, however, it got a little stale with little to no increase in their relationship other than “hey i like u and that’s about it” - Princess Zhang Le. MC repeatedly gets benefits and returns the favor by gifting Zhang Le precious items (she likes to keep those around for no reason) every now and then. This is where I dropped the novel and got **extremely** mad at the author. ((SPOILERS BELOW)) ((SPOILERS BELOW)) MC goes to a mountain range on his birthday and destroys it to let loose some steam. OUT OF NOWHERE, A WOMAN COMES AND TAKES HIS VIRGINITY, HE DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO STOP IT. H-aha, I hate this part. ZHANG LE FIGURES OUT HE HAD HIS VIRGINITY TAKEN. That’s where I dropped it. This makes no sense and is spiraling downward too far for me to read through. Character Design: Things often seem **too** tailored for the MC. Imagine this: You’re going to visit a person that can tell if you’re good or bad (unknowingly) You’re bad, you’re here to take things and leave. HIS FIRST SECT WAS A SECT THAT STOLE FROM PEOPLE (and his mindset had not changed!) and voila, the MC is labeled as a good guy. World Background: The World Background is like this: Historical figures from Japan are reintroduced to a cultivating world 2000 years ago. Most of the historical figures have survived up until today and have recreated their empires. (Great Chu, Great Yan, Great Qin, etc.) But the story often adds too many historical figures where it doesn’t even know what to do with them. There was a little arc 15~ chapters long about the historical figures fighting and talking! (Mostly talking.) A little arc like this should include some meaningful character/world development, but ended up as tea time for the 2000 year old powerhouses. My message to the author: You had such a great and unique story going, but decided to make it a typical xianxia/wuxia/martial arts story.
