![]() My comments are about the entire "web novel/light novel series". There is no loyalty of the City Lord family, the author seems to lack loyalty to the people that traditionally are the "most loyal". There is no real loyalty to his clan family. Main character, Nie Li, spends million on "strangers and future conquests" almost a year before he starts to worry about his sister, his parents or his family clan. It seems that the author does not value or prioritize family over other people. I don't like the fact that the author provides for commoners and people that the main character met at school, before, months before, his own family. So, the Sacred family has ties with the Dark Guild, you kill them all, take away their wealth, lands and problem over, no proof, no trials no controversy or "fake drama" needed ever. So, all those authors, that require proof, like if they were public attorneys investigating a crime, organized crime or trying to win a case, are illogical in a tyrannical/totalitarian dictatorship that lacks the ingredients of a Republic: separation of powers, a judiciary system and basic human rights for everyone. So, there is no proof to be found, no case to be won, if an antagonist is rebellious in any way, they are just killed off, no rhyme or reason needed, ever. The thing is most of these authors create a medieval/royal/empire organization and these systems have always been tyrannical/totalitarian dictatorships where what the noble/king/emperor in charge says goes, whether it makes sense or not, whether it is fair or not, whether the author wants it or not. The author makes a typical mistake: in a Fantasy-other-world-magical-martial-system thinks that there is a Justice system, or that proof needs to be iron-clad, as if there were courts, a judicial system or impartial judges. The author explains, re-explains and then comments on the explanations, so all of these circular logic fallacies get tiring real fast. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure, action, and magic books. ![]() Overall, I really enjoyed this book, the plot is interesting, the introduction of the characters is above-average, the pacing is fit for me personally, but I wish there was more action than right now. One example is a fight with Nie Lie and Shen Yue, who was angry that Nie Lie was teaching something to Shen Yue’s fiance, Yi Ziyun I’m hoping it improves in future books. Occasionally, there is action, but since Nie Lie is weak right now, he avoids battle with very strong enemies, and the fights he is in are usually short. The only downside of the book for me is the lack of action. To me, it seems that everything done in the story impacts something else, which I enjoy. I really like this idea, using knowledge to gain power instead of most action mangas, which are usually “only train to get strong.” The introduction of characters is decent, they reveal small bits of information about each character, and slowly develops into more when Nie Lie interacts with them, usually being 1 character at a time. Nie Lie is weak physically and spiritually, but he uses the knowledge he had in his previous life to become the strongest again. I’m always interested in adventure and action books, not usually too interested in zero to hero books, but this one was a special exception. With his second life, Nie Lie attempts to save the last human city, called Glory City, which was destroyed in his previous life. Nie Lie was reborn with all his memories still secure. He was killed by a Sage Emperor, who we do not have much information on yet, but he was reborn as his 13-year old self due to a relic called the temporal Demon Spirit Book. Tales of Demons and Gods, by Mad Snail (real name not provided) is a book about Nie Lie, who was a very powerful demon spiritualist in his past life.
