Alright, let's do this according to the rubric Qidian assigns:Translation Quality/Stability of Updates: Neither can be properly verified given it's in Trial Read, so I just put that at 3 - the average.Story Development: It's basically about the same as one of this author's earlier novels, The Strongest System, so it gets no points from me on that - copy/pasting isn't exactly hard. Even disregarding that, however ... it seems like it doesn't quite know what to do with itself. Main character wants to escape? Wait, let's not. Even with what it *does* do, it's not like the story development so far is refreshing or interesting - it's formulaic, something you can find in basically any Xianxia of note.Character Design: It's Lin Fang. Across all the author's works, he's basically the same, and a quintessential non-character all the time. This isn't a character prone to depth or anything, he's just a tool for comedic hijinks and random 'moments of awesome' that have so far been something of a nothingburger considering the very premise of this story (along with some forced emotional moments that just made me roll my eyes, again because of the story premise - I guess they were played for humor, because of it? Didn't really appeal). The other characters aren't any better - they fulfill the stereotypes of the MC's buddies, his enemies are made out to be the scum of the earth, everything the MC does is to showcase his power and intelligence - you know the drill.World Background: Basically non-existent so far. It's a Xianxia world with sects, following the Xianxia tropes. Not exactly deep, yo.Mind, this is basically a cookie-cutter 'shameless protagonist Xianxia', so if that's what you like, then this is for you. It just does nothing interesting with it, or even explores the characters, situations or environment - what you go in this expecting, you get, so in that sense this might even be considered sensible of the author - churn out populist stuff that pleases the niche Xianxia audience, and hey, you get oodles of cash with little need for thinking deeply. Works like a charm.
