Series Review

by itssumitrai

This novel is balanced in everything I wanted. The MC is smart, cunning and not weak/coward like japanese MC. The best part is of course his harem and his interactions with the girls, and yes there are sex scenes as well. All sort of magic and demonic arts are mixed in with swordsmanship, so the fights are really good & interesting as well. It starts off slow but when it picks up the pace, it keeps on getting better & better. There is a plot as well, and the villains don't pop up randomly out of nowhere like in some other chinese novels. There is some humour, plotting, scheming and lots of mysteries involved and just seeing the MC powering up step by step is pretty fun. If you like reading harem novels with plot and decent MC, this novel is for you! Give it a go, and don't stop (you'll not be able to stop anyways).

The Negatives:
The Mc is incredibly selfish. He wants anything by any means necessary. It doesn't matter if its bad or good as long as he accomplish his goal. And he doesn't really "Love" Fanny but sees her as an object to relief his desires that he couldn't do in his previous life. The Power leveling realms doesn't make sense at all. There's no plot really. And no Character Development! If there's any there's one character, it would be Phoebe. Fanny really is a detestable character. She makes no sense at all. Honestly there will be a lot of moments you will be pissed off while reading this..

Review by makenai89

Reviewed at c91, rated 4.

With necromancy, skeletons, and various magic, Great Demon King feels more like a western fantasy than a chinese novel. It started off a bit iffy, but after we passed the intro, things began to develop nicely, be it the plot, characters, and world building. The MC too is relatively relatable as a young boy -immature thoughts that were tempered by situation, easily horny near his “darlings”, not necessarily gave in to pressure but neither he looked for trouble-. By chapter 90s, I’d say that it is a well-constructed novel, although we can’t say it is superb yet.

Nevertheless, there are downsides. The MC personality changes was somehow abrupt, though it didn’t go unexplained. Additionally, the plot was highly attributed to his fortuitous encounters -an over-reliance that might deter some people from reading this piece.

Still, I’d like to advise people to read this novel at least 50 chapters first before giving it up. It’s not that good in the beginning, but it is definitely got better. It’s not for everyone, but you might like it.

Review by shylight

This is the first Chinese novel in this genre that I ever read and that is the only reason I stuck around for so long. MC is boringly OP. Also just plain boring and unlikeable in terms of personality The battles are badly written, boring, and predictable. Same with interaction between characters. Speaking of characters, the only somewhat interesting one is a skeleton MC summons.

The title is somewhat misleading: "demon" there refers to "demonic martial arts", so you won't see an ascension of a demon king either. And of course it's filled with boring meridian wanking.

Give yourself a favour and find something actually decent to read, unless you're a sucker for this genre. But in this case your mind is far too alien to me, so you can safely disregard my opinion.

Review by Cocaine

This is probably the funniest series I've ever read. All the other novels I've read in this genre are more focused on the seriousness and the brutality of the cultivation/fantasy worlds with a splash of unrealistic harem of beautiful girls that unconditionally love the MC for no reason. Something along the lines of: only those who are ruthless and seriously dedicate themselves can be successful. Granted I'm only 48 chapters in, but somehow this novel goes into a similar universe but gives me a totally different feeling. It includes all the brutality but somehow the light heartedness of the writing style underplays the severity of all the misfortune, while also giving a more "realistic" feeling from the world.

I think that anyone who enjoys this genre can appreciate this novel because it tells the same story differently.

Review by vongolax

Normally I don' t comment but for some reason I can't help it. The premise of the story is so so, unique but at the same time not so unique. The MC is honestly not a like-able character. The title says Demon King but there is nothing Demon King about him. I was up to chapter 31 and so far he didn't exactly kill anyone, the people who treated him like shit got beat up (but not everybody). I get it at that point he isn't strong enough for the whole revenge and I'm gonna screw you over plot. But really he doesn't seem evil or "Demon" like so far. To me it's more like he's a bit mischievous and you'll hear this a lot from the author "can't control himself". I won't say its bad but it totally went a different direction than how I thought it would go.

I imagine at least if you're gonna go the evil route of a rising Demon King in a Xuanhuan universe I was hoping you put your all into it and not half ass it. He says he's evil but honestly he's basically a horny teenager. Technically he is, but I was hoping that after getting fucked over all of a sudden by a random guy which made you rethink your life, then re-living memories of the shittiest life you can have. You would be more resentful and I hate to say this but fall to the dark side. Honestly if it went with a more serious, almost tragic kind of tone instead of comedy it would really improve it. The whole half ass proclaimed I'm evil and his mischievous and perverted demeanor towards woman kills my motivation to keep reading. I'm mostly ranting instead of making a review but I wonder if other readers feel the same way, or you feel differently. I hope more people review it and tell me what you think. Hopefully it gets better!
