Your typical weak-to-strong story. An average salaryman broke up with his girlfriend, got into an accident and died. As his compensation, he received a System, which worked by awarding points based on the amount of awe or anger or fear the protagonist inspired in others.
And using the accumulated points, the protagonist bought skills such as Constitution of the Mercenary King, Sinew Metamorphosis and Dragon Subduing Palm from the System.
At first I liked the story and empathized with the protagonist. He was humble and mild-mannered unless someone provoked him. Just like myself in real life. And using the skills bought from the System, he punished evil-doers. If you like face-slapping scenes where arrogant a**holes get their comeuppance, then there are a lot of such scenes in this novel. Very cathartic.
And then, after chapter 300, Nationalism reared its ugly head. I put up with the evil Emperor-worshiping Japanese MLM agents and the racist Navy SEALS soldiers because the author did not go overboard. For example, instead of portraying ALL Americans as Chinese-hating racists, the author made a clear distinction between American civilians and military personnel. And he explained that the American soldiers tended to display hostility towards Chinese soldiers because the Americans used the PLA as imaginary enemies during their drills.
Fair enough. It's more acceptable than the usual crap where every single white person in a Chinese novel is a Chinese-hating villain.
But then around chapter 584, the protagonist did something unforgivable.
Both the protagonist and the female lead were involved in some business rivalry you see. And during the business meeting, the female lead correctly deduced that the protagonist was the real backer behind her business rival. So he lost his temper and r*ped the female lead, who was also his wife-in-name. AND benefactor. The female lead had helped him earlier when he was getting defamed by an online celebrity.
After the r*pe, the female lead truly fell in love with him and handed over her company.
At this point, I thought that the story was too s*upid for me to continue reading. I gave up and stopped there. The end of the road for me.
Later on, there's supposed to be some fighting in Japan where, no doubt, more nationalistic bullsh*t can be found.
It's tolerable for the first 150 chapters, I read 150 - 400 chapters simply because I invested time into the story and didnt want to drop it. Chapters 400 - 640 was pure sh*t and 640 is where I dropped it because all it was for the last 250 chapters was Chinese nationalism.
From chapters 400+, the MC was supposed to work with american soldiers to save a journalist. After the MC saves the journalists, it is just american soldiers shitting on china and the soldiers using derogatory terms towards the MC. After the mission to save the journalist was over they decide to kill the MC because he is Chinese (ofc). The MC kills all the American soldiers and goes back to china.
The next mission is going to japan (you should know where this is going). Same thing as above. Chinese people abducted by Japanese people. Japanese people say sh*t bad sh*t about Chinese people. MC kills people for being evil.
Next mission MC goes to america and fresh off the plane, people he knows are being bullied and insulted for being Chinese. I dropped the novel right there because all this novel became was some sick hate driven garbage.
Im over it.
The incident in question is about a possible love interest that enters the story. At first I was pleasently surprised as she was a co-worker of his sister and not some jade unattainable beauty. A career nurse with a far more normal outlook on life than the majority of wuxia princesses. The sister introduces them and its kinda clear early on, that nurse likes him more than he's actually interested in her but the genuiness of her rubs off on him and he then decides to date her. Of course, there was a little bit of a love rival to push the story forward but thats just common. The problem is that it turns out her hospital director has been getting her and a few of the other nurses addicted on drugs to sleep with them and I think prostitute them but I can't remember correctly. He asks her out having fallen for her, but she rejects it not feeling worthy of him as she finds out he's now a company ceo. At this point she commits su*cide after another night with the director and the MC uses that as revenge fuel to get back at those who were involved. A sad twist to what was looking promising if looked at in isolation but taking the whole novel and wuxia genre in consideration the reason for her death is kinda sickening. Time and again the MC is able to save all his loved ones from mortal peril and this happens in all of these novels. At the time her death bugged me until I realised she was only killed because she was no longer worthy of the MC.
Sounds harsh I'm guessing but its what I truly believe. In this novel and wuxia in general v**ginity is prized like the holy grail and all love interests must be untouched. This is the reason you often come across women that initially appear difficult due to some hatred for men until our intrepid hero is able to conquer them. Women are not treated as individuals with their own minds but goals to be achieved. This is already a bad mentality but the mentality of this novel is even worse than that. Suppose for a second this girl which he truly connected with had survived, the MC would of course have had to date her as abandoning her at that point would look badly on him. Instead she is killed off for quick revenge fuel and the story can continue. The genre is a form of wish fulfillment which I accept and I don't often take it very seriously so chase as many beauties as you wish but even the suggestion of r*pe tainting the victim goes too far for me.
To clarify I don't believe the author has sexiest views or anything of the sort that is something only he will know but good art needs to communicate its themes and concepts well which in this case it doesn't hence the 1 star.
First, the generalized things that occur throughout the entirety of the story. I don't want to go back and go over every single word or phrase that is repeated incessantly but just to name a few: "boss", "sieve", and "devil." I don't believe this really impacted my rating but it was one of those things that I couldn't help but wonder if the author (or perhaps this fault lies with the translator and editor? Whose to say.) had never picked up a dictionary. I don't want to harp on this too much but a piece of advice, just google the word and find a synonym. Reusing words is fine and it isn't like everything must be unique permanently but when "Throwaway Person A" all the way to "Throwaway Person Z" call him a "devil", well you get the point. Additionally, in the way of criticizing the actual foundation of the novel, I didn't particularly enjoy the fact that, without fail, the majority of people the protagonist encountered were just rude, egotistical, and violent. The reason why this is a foundational issue is because the reason for this is because it drives the story forward. Someone has an ego, MC knocks them down, turns out person who is knocked down has an uncle who is an elder. Elder shows up, gets knocked down, repeat until you reach the end of the line and in which case, reward the MC or kill off the line. And to add onto this, most non-chinese people in this story were depicted as racists. And while I don't believe that it's unrealistic for there to be racist people, the ratio of racist people to non racists were essentially 10 to 1 at minimum. For similar reasons to the previous, the purpose of this is to drive the story forward and create conflict. Maybe I'm jaded and this is how the world truly is, take it with a grain of salt I suppose. Also, it's not like this issue is unique to this story, it's common in a lot of stories for foreigners to be racists but just seems like such a strange methodology to create conflict or to represent other entities besides yourself. As I write this I recall that someone mentioned that it's a Nationalism story so of course this will happen, and I suppose the fault lies with me for not seeing that. Although I would argue that you can just as easily accomplish this by celebrating your own nation or even putting your nation leagues ahead of everyone else without vilification. But then again, maybe this complaint is nullified due to the tag. I think that I honestly just had a fundamental issue with how the characters in the story interacted with each other. There were so many characters whose only personality was either an obsession with the main character or they wanted to genuinely harass people because the other person doesn't treat them like God. In terms of power dynamics and how the character scales along with the story, I think that collectively it's fine. The central focus of the story is using conflict to drive and as a result of that, every conflict introduces a new skill which eventually builds depth. I didn't have much of an issue with it, additionally it was meant to be a story about an overpowered character so in that perspective I think it accomplishes that well. The power design around the story was something I enjoyed a lot. The story is a harem with a focus on the relationship between primary female lead and primary male lead which actually takes around 400 chapters before the two even meet. Admittedly, the relationship is introduced faster than it takes for the female lead to be introduced but that's fine with me. Personally I don't have much preference when it comes to romance in stories although I did think that this was done well. The plot is fine, I don't have any issues with it. It admittedly goes off the rails from where I expected it to go but nonetheless, if I had to summarize all of what I just wrote into a more compact paragraph. The story, whether it be romance or power dynamics, was fine. I enjoyed it for what it was and that was that. The only issue I had was that the author had created countless characters whose only personality trait was the belief that they were above everyone else and they sought conflict if the opposing person didn't adhere to that belief. I harped on that issue more than anything because it is an outstanding enough issue and is constant enough for me to harp on it.
