If you were trying to read The Lord’s Empire and felt it lacking, this is the story for you since this is basically what it was inspired by, if I recall properly. The skill development, cultivation, npcs, allies, villains, every aspect of the game system are ALL better. I read this one first, so I couldn’t stomach The Lord’s Empire hand-wavey way of doing things. This is a good MC that works for his advantages and plans ahead. He’s smart, hard-working, and puts in a lot of effort to be a loyal friend. He’s also not fake humble or even pretending to be magnanimous, while actually being black-bellied. He’s a good person who just wants to build the best future possible for his family at all costs. It’s also nice that not every woman is placed in the novel to chase after him and stroke his ego by being face slapped. Everyone is pretty reasonable in comparison to most novels like this. You can understand why people are the way they are. The only person that might be annoying in the whole novel is the sister, and that’s just because she’s a Mary Sue, but she also 8, so whatever, I guess. She’s not in every chapter so it’s tolerable! I only got to around chapter 357 ish? Before I paused. I think I burnt myself out a little bit? The story is more technical than some other stories and is really focused on territory stuff, and sometimes that just isn’t what I’m in the mood for. HOWEVER, that doesn’t make it a not good novel. It is amazing at everything it sets out to do. TLDR: it’s great! And has very few plot holes in the novel minus when it comes to the Mary Sue sister. 10/10 great MC, great cast, great rivals, great system! If you have any questions or need something explained feel free to ask! I really enjoy the story and it being here makes mobile reading much easier than GT because of the ad glitches.
