Qin Feng appears as a tsundere big brother, teasing and playfully欺负 his sibling for attention, yet deep down, he's fiercely protective and loyal to his brother.
The first 20 or so chapters were a delightful break from the norm, blending humor with an engaging freshness. However, the narrative quickly took a disappointing turn. As the protagonist's luck seemed to run endlessly, accumulating美女 (beauties), treasures, and dominating without challenge, this "villain" proved to be more of a one-dimensional character. His supposed ruthlessness was reserved only for minor supporting roles, leaving me feeling let down. The story claims to revolve around defying the divine favorites, but if the main character is, in essence, indistinguishable from them, what is the point of the story?
So far, this novel has been quite engaging. The main antagonist isn't overly OP, but he displays just the right amount of prowess to justify his role. His ruthless nature is evident, and there's a clear potential for him to become as shamelessly cunning as FY. I'm looking forward to reading more and hoping the story maintains its quality as it progresses.
Story Development: 4.8 OUT OF 5. The narrative feels like I'm destined to be the antagonist in a traditional xianxia tale, with a sinister twist. The system is well-balanced and fair, avoiding power imbalances between the main character (MC) and the Sons of Heaven, which keeps the plot engaging. The novel's humorous start, even during the protagonist's early years, adds a refreshing touch. There might be hints of inspiration from "Fated Villain," but that's acceptable. The Extermination arc stands out as one of the most captivating storylines I've come across recently – a spoiler alert, but readers will understand what I mean.
Character: 5.0 OUT OF 5 – The highlight! Our MC is a true villain through and through. While there's speculation about whether he's an unreliable narrator or simply mischievous with his twin, his actions consistently revolve around self-interest. He's ruthless, cunning, and shamelessly ambitious – what more could you want?
World Development: 4.5 OUT OF 5. The world-building is solid, introducing a dynasty rebellion early on, leaving ample room for the original author to expand and deepen the setting as the story progresses.
