    I only review novel that I actually like desuwa.
    If I review novel that I hate my review will be very biased, so I refrain to do so desuwa...

    I'm not sure where he was regarded as a "slaughter god" but if it was mentioned it most probably probably refer to his dragon transformation, his "killing intent/blood thirst" rises. We saw is when he first transformed and his thirst last chapter, he WILL lose himself at some point you can be sure of that.

    Also :
    ...He's going to kill enough people by that point you can be sure of that :p

    I never read reviews until I read a dozen or so chapters. Otherwise I may miss a nice gem of a novel. Opinions of people you don't know well is untrustworthy.

    Aye~ same here. We can't be sure that the person that makes the review and us have the same standards when it comes to novel.

    ATG has too much boring filler, BTTH is too slow, both have rapist mc's to my knowledge. PMG is repetitive but it's fast paced, and I don't mean translation speed. Besides before questioning PMG I would question Twilight. It's a waste of time in either case.

    BTTH was without the will of MC, IN ATG, Yun Che was doing it in sound mind and body. As for being repetitive all xianxia do at in some degree. ISSTH is one of the few that doesn't.

    For me, when I look up for reviews the first one I look for is those who gave bad ratings. And then I look for those who tried to counter said reviews. I generally didn't bother to read those who gave good ratings, except when they are very long and detailed. As for those who only wrote a few lines or those who seems to be lacking credibility(I mean listing PMG as a good novel? Must be a joke). Just pretend they didn't exist.

    I mean check out Mythical Tyrant page. The ratings and reviews just made me cringed so hard.

    YuevYang is douche-y. Some people find it annoying others entertaining.

    the basis of the novel is that the MC is a douche. The story itself is fine, jana~ for no reason other than disliking the MC, they shouldn't give 1/5's. I usually try to put some good aspect from the novel in for my ratings, jana~

    My thought exactly. I suspect a few novels that was like that. Though if they really did, I wonder why they tried to stick to that novel instead of picking up something else.

    personally it's like a bad soap opera, jana~ The plot is repetitive, the characters not likeable, but something about it draws you back just to see what happens next, jana~
