The pace at the end is rushed and feels like the author just wanna end the story, but the fight scene is not prolonged, which I personally like. Although, the ending was kinda good, it leaves little question unanswered, makes it feels like some prequel story is underway. Overall, it's quite a good novel.
TL:DR: If you hated Rot3K and Diablo II, you'll definitely hate this. Yeah he's a Mary Sue. But like any proper story, There's Always Someone Stronger.
Yes it incorporates/steals/fanfics various ideas notably from Diablo 2 but also Saint Seiya, and lesser so some other specifically Asian pop culture references of that time period... But even ignoring how its blatantly stolen/borrowed/used, its actually, not a bad element to the story. If it were NOT "Diablo 2" but an honest to goodness 'creation' instead of 'recreation', then I doubt there'd be this many bad reviews. It's written with Action and Atmosphere as the central points of telling various parts of the story. There's quite a few subtleties in things left unsaid that actually benefit the story more than one could think. I'm willing to bet the writer took inspiration from DBZ as well based on how the fights go. (a LOT of back and forth cliff hangers and trump cards. mixed with the obvious smackdown to showcase obvious strength is obvious). As far as atmosphere, well, there's a LOT of crowd reaction to the rise of a deity if you will. to constantly remind you they're larger than life. A common trait of traditional chinese stories actually. The only possible downside I can think of besides the plagiarism is the fact that it's to its core, a Chinese Novel, and with it comes story telling, mentalities, turn of phrase, and common sense that might be off-putting to those unversed in Chinese Heritage. As far as I'm concerned, if you enjoy Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Diablo II, you'll have a good chance of enjoying this. Conversely if you hated both, you're going to hate this read. Frankly the addition of Saint Seiya irks me, but its minor enough not to care.
If you're curious about the Diablo thing, basically is this:
MC gets to go occasionally in the Diablo world, as if he were a player. There, he levels up (in various classes) and brings back his status to his real world. Occasionally, other things too.
