The Rise of the Black Plain

Overall, this novel is decent but there are a few issues.
First is, the author explains too much. There's too much explanation about some new building and how it works. Some are unnecessary and some can be said as it is. Second, the fact that the MC dealt with no issues with the citizens apart from the fact that they're too weak is unrealistic. People get jobs and suddenly, they're happy and no problems occurred afterwards. In every place, there are always problematic people. Drunkards for example. There were even no mention of thievery in Dry City, as if everyone just turned obedient conveniently for the MC. Even if every single one of them got jobs, some habits, while they can be dealt with, they don't die easily. Mass migration from people of different places should have introduced some problems but for some reason, they were obedient. Also, the fact that people from other places could successfully migrate to the Black Plain without leaving any traces is also quite unrealistic. If it's the soldiers, then there would be no issues but civilians are hard to control, especially when they weren't yours or when the cultures are different. There is also the lack of skepticism. Although the author tried to explain this part, the fact that the whole population of a city just disappears and migrates to the Black Plain is quite unrealistic. No one stayed behind, especially the old people, who are (not all) supposed to be the most stubborn and difficult to persuade.

I'm still currently on chap 371 so the author might have already addressed these on the not so recent chapters but even if he still hasn't, I hope the author reads this for improvement. Overall, this novel is, as I said, decent and full of potential.

Hello, I do not have vast experience in writing novels, but I do know that every opinion and review is valuable. Therefore, I would take this chance and express my thoughts about this story.

First, there are no significant grammatical errors in the story. There may be some in each chapter, but it does not hinder understanding the flow of events.

As for the development of the story, I think that while it's great and well thought out, there are chapters that are 'somewhat' insignificant to the story that I think can be described in shorter words. This is also related to another issue regarding this novel. I don't think I have the qualifications to advise a writer since I have no experience regarding that. But, as a reader, I think that the author likes to give too much detail in describing things in the story. For example, the author will explain the logic behind something that still has no significant role in the current phase of the story. I think that instead of going into too much detail as something was introduced, it would have been better to just give some overview regarding it until it becomes significant to the story so that you can describe these efficiently and timely. Why am I giving such a fuss regarding it? It's because I think highly of the story and it drives me mad to see the story progress, but it irks me that some chapters that aren't too far from being cheap fillers are present. It's good to present the story of side characters, but going into so much depth that causes the story to somewhat lose its luster is not very good.

As for the character design. In my opinion, the author did very well in describing and giving color to the characters. Each of them has their personality and identity, causing their interactions with each other very lifelike.

As for the updating stability, I have no issue or opinion regarding that.

Lastly, for the world background, the author did excellently. The author did not give too much nor too little information, instead providing just enough description about the world and its power structure.

Overall, I think that the story is good and is worth a while. The only problem is still the use of too much info in describing certain things and the chapters that resemble cheap fillers.

I love the novel with the various characters and so on. The one thing I hate is that there is too many POV's, tend to forget minor characters unless to will be relevant to the plot. Some minor characters reappearing and that messes my flow.

A good one.

The cultivation speed is kind of slow and realistic, the kingdom building takes a good part of the story, unexpected good battles, a reasonable mc and good girls.

Everything about this story is great.... aside from the plot with the mother. Even after 1200+ chapters the situation with the mother hasn't changed. He still hates her as much as he did in the beginning, all the while the mother and grandfather act as if she didn't abandon the MC for years on end multiple times.
She only appears maybe once or twice every few hundred chapters and it's the same interaction between the MC and her. Every. Single. Time.
She shows up, mc is still angry at her and doesn't spare her a second glance, then she butts into to just about every conversation the MC has not realizing that the MC is ignoring her. It's getting old.

Great novel, please continue.
I saw that he wasn't very well known, so the story is that the MC's personality is great, so I wanted to pick up on some power stones, and I'm going to tell a few friends about the novel as well.
I hope you will continue.

boring

Great novel

Simple kingdom building and cultivation system that is unique..

Characters are not just 2D but have background and can think for themselves...

No cliches ...the spiritual tournament is not your classic going for the top prize...he went to connect with different people whom he can't meet in his territory.

Girls don't fall for him and every girl he sleeps with doesn't become his wife..

Overall good original novel and hope author continues it
