This is a solid 3/5 story. It has nothing amazing and unique that isn't in other stories. Likewise the terrible things in it are things that appear in Chinese novels too frequently. It's both too long and not long enough. Towards the end, it's just endless chapters of battles. And then it just ends abruptly. The pacing is a mess. There are WILD shifts in tone throughout, as if this were several related novels forced together. Despite being a supposed "System" novel, the author didn't seem to want it to have a System at all, so that moves further and further into the background over time. There are some satisfying face-slapping incidents, if that's your thing. However, almost all of them could have been avoided entirely if the MC made better choices, which takes some of the satisfaction out of the sails. In the end, a middle of the road, solid 3 out of 5. Not the best, not the worst, just meh.
