The radio coordinates felt realistic. 1021E, 30.6N? That’s somewhere in China near Chengdu. The author bothered to use real geography. That little detail adds authenticity that many web novels miss.
I'm a bit disappointed that Duan Yunfeng didn't engage more with the livestream chat or try to build a rapport with the audience. He could have become a celebrity himself. Instead, he just spams gifts and ignores everyone. That makes him seem anti-social. But maybe that's intentional – he's not interested in fame, just money. His character is very focused. When he adds Lin Paopao on WeChat, he doesn't even reply to her message. He might be planning to use her later. That's cold, but also efficient. I guess for a protagonist who just transmigrated and wants to secure his future, emotional investment is a distraction. Still, a bit of personality would help. He doesn't have a catchphrase or a pet peeve. He's just a blank slate for the reader to project onto. That's not necessarily bad for a power fantasy, but it makes him forgettable.
I’m actually a little annoyed at how quickly the housekeeper and the bodyguard are dealt with. The housekeeper was supposed to be a serious threat from the Fu family, but Fu Ziqi just scares her into kneeling, and then a dog chases her away. That’s too easy. I wanted a real fight, or at least a verbal sparring match with some stakes. The villains currently feel like pushovers.
The whole “Si Yu fainting from fear” is such a dramatic but funny reaction. This guy kept up a masquerade as a eunuch, slept with a palace maid and a princess, but the moment the Emperor shows up he bleaches out. And the monk literally peed himself from fear. Love how the author exaggerates their cowardice to make them unsympathetic. They’re not cool villains; they’re pathetic. That makes the victory even sweeter.
