Dropped it. MC became unbearable, and after checking the raws and author's notes on Qidian, it turns out he's supposed to stay like that until the end of the book. So, unfortunately, there's no hope for the story to get better. It's a shame; it had the potential to be one of the best CN interstellar webnovels.

Review as of Chapter 700: It's a disappointing read. While the author does an excellent job of portraying the world of Star Wars with great attention to detail—from characters and locations to battleships and lore—the problems arise when it comes to the original content created by the author. These issues, while not significant on their own, collectively affect the story in a very negative way. Here are a few glaring issues: 1.The protagonist essentially forced his entire civilization into becoming military extremists based on a fabricated story about three calamities. 2.Cheap deus ex machina: making the protagonist Darth Plagueis' apprentice within 50 chapters, instead of a longer, more gradual plot. 3.The protagonist lacks a personality, appearing cartoonishly evil solely to represent his fall to the dark side. 4.Since the protagonist's faction is built on a lie, there is no genuine goal or greater purpose that would keep the reader engaged. 5.The government/faction created by the protagonist is, in some aspects, worse than Palpatine's empire. While this isn't inherently bad, coupled with the previous issue, the reader has no reason to care about or root for the protagonist and the success of his fledgling empire. 6. No real crisis for the Mc. The Clone Wars are based on Palpatine's secret identity. All Mc has to do is uncover it, and any danger disappears the moment Mace Windu cuts off Palpatine's head. With these problems combined, the plot falls apart for one simple reason: I stopped caring about the protagonist and his goals. The author may write 20 chapters of fierce space battles between the Republic and the Dawn, but I find myself skipping them because whether the Dawn wins or loses has no significance to me. Protagonist's Force grows stronger ? Who cares ? MC also ends up being the story's weakest link. He falls to the dark side before he could ever be likable, so both his fall and his actions afterward are boring at best. It's not helping that, as I mentioned earlier, the author makes his dark side cartoonish and edgy to the point where it almost becomes a parody of itself. The story would have been much better if the Mc were not a Force-sensitive person. Address the issue that most of the galactic wars were caused by Force users and their conflicting ideologies. Emphasize that both the Jedi and the Sith are extremists and unfit to lead any government. There was so much good stuff to explore, yet the author chose the most boring option. Not to mention, the author poorly balances personal power progression with kingdom-building. Imo author could have put a band aid on those problems by including chapters showing that the planets joining the Fourth Alliance were better governed than under the Republic. Early in the story, there were chapters showcasing these aspects when Planet Dawn was colonized, but after chapter 300 there are none.

Booring...

it's so cringe and edgy that it became funny.

Just order him to do it. Why waste time on a pointless monologue? Are you a dictator or a pirate ?

Why does everyone have a brain illness and think that everything has to be resolved through single combat? Why would you even challenge Palpatine to a fight? Just nuke him.

It's funny how the author tries to come up with a reasonable explanation for the MC to pursue power more than 700 chapters into the story. It's too late; he is just a megalomaniac with anger issues

It makes no sense. Mc knows identities of Palpatine and Plagueis. Just go to the jedi temple and sell them out.

Cringe is overflowing.

So what? Just give Mace Windu the information that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, and he would take him down.
