I need to process what I just read. Wen Jing is one of those villains who doesn't even need to raise her voice to be absolutely chilling. The scene where she orders Li Xiaolan to tamper with Lin Lumi's assessment and Li Xiaolan refuses because it's too risky — and Wen Jing's response is just to remind her that her father's promotion depends on a single word from Wen Jing's father, the Prince. That's it. No screaming, no dramatic threats. Just cold, bureaucratic destruction of someone's entire life. And then the part that genuinely made me uncomfortable: "Her finger gently lifted Li Xiaolan's chin, her voice as soft as poisoned honey." I felt that in my bones. The physical intimacy of the threat — touching someone's face while destroying them — is so much worse than if she had just yelled. But here's what really gets me: Wen Jing's motivation. It's not even about justice or fairness. It's pure, unadulterated jealousy over Mu Heng. "Rather kill the wrongly accused than let the guilty slip away" — she literally says this. She doesn't care if Lin Lumi is guilty or innocent. She just can't tolerate the possibility that Lin Lumi might be near Mu Heng. That's the kind of obsessive, unhinged energy that makes for genuinely compelling antagonists. And the stakes? Lin Lumi could be expelled from the sect. Permanently. And Li Xiaolan could be expelled if she loses the duel. Everyone involved has everything on the line, and Wen Jing is just sitting in her new courtyard dormitory, calmly arranging it all like a game of chess. I am not okay.
Let me just start by saying: the author knows how to build a world, and these chapters are a masterclass in atmospheric immersion. The first scene that really opened my eyes was Mingzhu Nightclub. You've got Tiexiong with two women in revealing gowns hanging off him, karaoke blaring, the whole sleazy underworld vibe radiating off the page. But what's brilliant is how the author uses the setting to reveal character without a single line of exposition. Tiexiong offering Cao Yang the women isn't just worldbuilding — it's a power move. He's testing him, showing off, trying to buy loyalty with cheap hospitality. And Cao Yang's internal reaction — 'Like them? I more than like them — I'm burning up! But no way I'm doing that in front of you. I'm not some animal!' — that single paragraph tells you everything about who this guy is. Then the author drops you into the underground fighting venue and the worldbuilding goes from sleazy to surreal. An abandoned factory on the outskirts of town, but inside? Luxury cars at the gate, security guards checking IDs like this is some exclusive members-only club, two thousand square meters gutted into a fighting arena with stands packed with smoking, drinking, eating crowds. The contrast between the dead exterior and the violent, neon-lit interior is cinematic. I could literally see the camera panning from the rusted factory doors to the octagonal cage inside. The sensory details are what make it work. The deafening noise. The two-dozen beers and fruit plate costing 1,980 yuan in an era when average monthly wages were a few hundred. The voluptuous ring girl in a skimpy bikini circling the cage with placards. Xida smacking the waitress on the ass and calling her 'new.' These details don't just describe a setting — they describe a culture. A culture where violence is entertainment, where money is meaningless, where human beings are commodities. One scene that particularly haunted me: the moment Cao Yang steps into the octagon and changes into only shorts, no gloves, nothing. The staff explains the rules — there are none. Any dirty move is allowed. The fight ends only when someone surrenders, is incapacitated, or dies. The author doesn't need to describe the cage bars or the lighting or the crowd in that moment. The absence of rules IS the atmosphere. It's a world where civilization has been stripped away and all that's left is violence. The worldbuilding here operates on multiple levels simultaneously. On the surface, it's a gritty underworld crime story. But beneath that, it's also a commentary on how ordinary people get consumed by systems they never chose. Cao Yang didn't ask to be a fighter. He didn't ask to be a 'cash cow.' But the world the author built doesn't have room for people who opt out. You're in it, or you're destroyed.

"ALL HAIL KING RHETT! THE KING OF DRAGON SLAYERS!" A truly fascinating story! It got me hooked instantly and would not let go. I can't recommend this enough, and I wish the author the best and huge success with this masterpiece!
superb novel iIjust wish the author could upload more chapters can't wait
may just have some rough-around-the-edges writing but characters and plot def seem interesting. only thing I'm really worried about is the update schedule - there are more days of no updates, than there are chapters (last update 19 days ago, with only 16 uploaded ch's). I'll probably keep in my library for a little while, see if author comes back with more updates - hope so bc I wanna know more about the king lol
Amazing novel but paywall at 15 makes me depressed and lonely
Author here to clarify a few things.First things first: What is the book about?It's about a young man, Kadar, in a fantasy world inhabited by six different races - five after the humans were wiped out. Kadar finds himself in a world that has both forgotten and hated humans.How is the main character?He's insecure at first, carrying burdens he doesn't yet understand - but he has the urge to rebel against the whole world if he has to. And soon the story will force him to do so.Is the main character overpowered?No. He is strong, but will have to work for every bit of strength.Romance?Yes, of course. After all, there are many characters, each different and more interesting than the last. It would be a shame not to throw them into the most destructive, but also the most beautiful aspects of their lives.Upload schedule?One chapter per day, chapter length about 2000 words.And last but not least: Why should I read this book?Because it is about what we all love: Elves, magic, dragons, vampires. It takes these things, throws them into a pot, melts the pot, throws it off the edge of the world and the characters and the plot with it. And you'll love it.
