1. This is one of those rare novels where in apocalyptic setting humans actually battle monster and other alien species rather than other humans, as I say this, the depictions of human cruelty were realitevely small and nationalism was almost non-existent.

2. MC is pretty good too. One of the most moderate ones out there (in xianxia at least). He isn't a goody two shoes but neither is he going on massive slaughtering sprees. When he goes on to conquer other cities and countries he doesn't just kill off all the opposers, but if you don't join him, you are gonna be defending against alien species all by yourself in the future.

3. Side characters that are close to MC get a decent amount of spotlight, and it's shown how their abilities progressively develop.

1. The almost non-existent romance (seriously there is even less romance than in Er Gen's novels), though it might not feel so bad, because he didn't really have interaction with any other female character beside his future wife (and even that was in extremely low amounts).

2. There are several skills and artifacts that are valuable and could help him and his city in several situations but aren't even mentioned once more till the end.

3. All the other planets / worlds were left totally unexplored. (The entire story was on Earth, only time he was in other world was trough the instance dungeon and that was for ~15 chapters)

4. Ending was both rushed (many stuff were left unexplained and MC promoted more than 2 major realms in several paragraphs on the last chapter) and open (he just ascended to higher realm with his wife and left to us readers to imagine what kind of adventures he will have there), but again - it might not feel so bad since he basically finished everything he needed to (albeit it was in a few paragraphs of the last chapter)

1. 1. The RPG state of the world is surprisingly fun to read about. I suppose I'm the type that just likes game elements in novels. The later updates that gradually transition the world to xianxia life were dealt with well.
   2. The MC is fairly competent, in general. Good RPG gamer instincts I guess. His growth (stats/class/bloodline/gear/skills) is worth enjoying.
   3. No nationalism. Thank god.
   4. The kingdom building and later wars are set up quite interestingly.

1. 1. The MC does tend to do some s*upid or hypocritical things at times. s*upid: While in disguise, he freely uses ice (only he's known to use ice in the world at the time) and brings along a priest (only known to be seen in his village at the time). When he's recognized, he's confused why. In another example, he got a scroll for a skill that could change time flow speed. First reaction: Confusion, wondering if that was even useful. Forgot about the skill later on by the time he was qualified to learn it. Hypocritical: After spewing a bunch of pragmatic lines explaining why he must be cold-blooded and can't go save these soldiers' families or that bunch of suffering refugees not far away, the guy goes on a long trip to save the parents of some random pretty girl he met recently. He even justified it as an act that'll show how much he values his subordinates, going so far for one of them...
   2. Robotic dialogue. Really, I can't feel much emotion in the lines. Maybe author is just bad at writing speech lines or characterization?
   3. Characters are extremely simple. Love interest is 'a pretty girl with a kind heart and instakill ability'. Not much beyond that. No detail. Friends pretty much all have the same personality - trust MC, like MC, fight for MC, bros. Can't tell 'em apart. Extremely hard to pick out even one character that goes through visible character growth.
