Author, just fyi, in real life people rarely ever say the full name of things. Just too many syllables. So, no one would constantly say AR-15 or AK-74. Rather, they'd say AR or AK. It's like with Glocks. No one would constantly say "my Glock 19". They'd just say my Glock, or my gun. Just advice to make dialogue more natural and believable.

I have a sneaking suspicion that "knife" is an incorrect translation. They probably mean Saber, and Knife Power is just Saber Intent/Force. (A long knife is basically a Saber/Machete) Also, who knew MC would be this ruthless? I get killing the father and son, but even the wife? This is how I know I couldn't survive in a cultivation novel.

Harem? That's all you had to say. SKIP!

This novel has made me hate the word "survive" so much. The author has some sort of strange addiction to just writing suspense scenes for no reason. This is the beginning of the novel! I gave this novel a pass for the first four chapters as I thought the author was just trying to hook the readers in. But now I'm wondering if that's all this novel is. One long train of incidents meant to make you feel suspense. The thing is that suspense works best when you care for the character. The author has done nothing so far for me to even like these characters. I'm just confused and annoyed.

I am so confused? The kid's dad is stronger than MC yet for some strange reason he want to leave with MC for training? I pray this isn't a military that employs child soldiers. Why not just have the dad rejoin the military?

Why is this relationship so forced? Why can't that little kid wait like everyone else and join the Military? Join his village recon team and gain valuable experience for a few years then join the military after. And MC is enabling him like he isn't supposed to be a low-profile special forces soldier who has to leave in week.

Noooo, we skipped the training arc?!

I thought MC was an 80 year old man? Not to mention he ran a large business. Why is he talking like a teenager? He has the emotional regulation of a middle schooler. I like the novel, that's why I'm still reading and criticizing so much. Just tired of authors creating characters with profound backgrounds, just to have them act like children.

Oh no, I hope this isn't an MC made dumb for plot points. He's in a military bunker yet doesn't take the time to read up on everything that happened, or to use surveillance tools on the base to see if the outside is safe. He just wakes up and opens the big door that has kept him safe this whole time.

This is the type of amateur cringe nationalism we expect from Chinese/Korean novels. Oh, look at us Canadians, we are so nice and well behaved, unlike this annoying American character I created. It's perfectly fine to have an annoying character be American, but it becomes cringe when you make them they state it as a part of their rant.
