The Human Emperor人皇纪

This novel has some excellent parts but is overshadowed by its bad parts.

3/5 ... not recommend.

The novel starts with him saving his clan from a plot. Then going to war to defend. Then defending against another plot. Then going in a defensive war and when he finally goes on the counter after defending... he has to withdraw because he has like 6x less troops and when he comes back they scheme against him again... and this goes on for the entire novel.

Every scenario is the MC going against the odds. Then the enemy does a 3 times transformation like frieza on Dragonball and then the MC does a spirit bomb and he wins.

The power scaling is also so weird. For example a godlike being comes along that no one can defend against and everyone has defend against him and the next time you see him every peasant can kill him with a butter knife.

The system feels more like a chain then giving him many benefits. He gets an early body enchantment and that is basically all it does while giving him missions that if he fails... he will die. Novel would be better without it.

But ironically those parts mentioned are quite a fun read though it becomes stale but i would recommend the novel if this was all it offered but there are 3 big issues this novel has.

The characters are not well written:

The MC is selfless and does not care if he dies for Tang but the entire story is him being screwed over while being the savior of his country... multiple times so he is being chained to the Tang dynasty by a system that tries to kill him more then it helps him...

The Sage emperor is god. He always has a plan. All he does is right. But the story literally shows that he does nothing but screw up his entire country.

Factions don't act like they should and make them look more like children then working towards their goals.

The lack of logic+plot holes:

The enemies have infinite number of soldiers while Tang can't even spare 40k. But no worries when an enemy shows up with more then 2mil soldiers they somehow win with an army of 180-200k. Hey if they can't win why not let the MC say... oh i know a snowstorm will happen for a few days right when he is going to be defeated and it wipes the entire enemy army...

The MC is a side character because everything he does... does not matter in the end. He wins a war? All the territory and gold gets returned to the enemy... no questions asked. Oh he killed 500k troops... the enemy spawns another 500k out of nowhere. He fights a battle of more then half a mil men and is winning then someone shows up that can 1vs100k and then to win his side also gets someone to 1vs200k the other side...

No end in sight:

MC keeps defending against an unending amount of enemies or gets plotted against whatever he does. It is like playing a game where you don't lvl up or when you do lvl up you get reset back to the same starting point before you get strong enough.

This is disappointment. Start from Chapter 1200+ is damn disappointing, turning the novel from enjoyable wuxia into fcking xianxia. Ashole

Overall This is one of the better novel I have read. MC doesn't suddenly become stupid and start doing shit. It has a steady pace.

The nationalism of this wuxia novel has reached the xianxia level.

A.K.A. Immortal level nationalism

Nationalism that has transcended the boundary of the mortal world and has reached the Immortal realm.

Don't listen to others this is an epic story with great battles and an all time great MC, both strong and smart. Lots of backdoor scheming going on in the country, and lots of power struggles between the highest forces of the military. Oh yeah, has great comedy here and there too when you wouldn't expect. A lurking enemy in the back that isn't really understood until later. The one thing is this is a system novel when arguably it shouldn't be and so it can get in the way of the atmosphere and be annoying at times but the story more than makes up for that.

I don't remember why I dropped it but I think it was irl stuff and the story had less action I think around the Confucianism arc. Great historical war novel with cultivation powers at the end of the day

This is better than 99% of anything else on this site easily.

Mc vilified my race f#ck you authors

Yea sure.
First of all this is one of those novels were the goverment or in this case officials, are full of corrupt individuals. Most pretty much place their profits above all and give no shit about their country. Also theres been multiple times where these officials frame/try to kill MC or his family but MC still continues to have blind faith in the Emperor and the officials most of the time.
Also, it has been explicity stated that the dream of this MC is basically to unite the entire continent under the TANG and change all the other languages into CHINESE. Theres about 10-15 countries in the continent as far as i remember, so MC basically wants to conquer them all and change their language to Chinese :).
Lastly, in this novel every country surrounding China is described as evil, corrupt, power hungry, backstabbers while portraying China as the only country of goodwill in the entire continent. There are also times where people from some nationalities are described as "monkeys" or "smelly warriors" or even worse there's this nation that got conquered by China some time ago and their people are described as pathetic conquered people who have the guts to try and break free of the Chinese rule!!

What makes all the above points even worse, is the amount of times MC talks about how great China is and how bad all others are, is mindblowing...


You mean which novels i've read have the most nationalism/racism?
Well most novels with overwhelming racism get dropped so i dont remember their names but there's a few novels with very much racism which i've actually managed to finish reading.
This one obviously.
Shura's Wrath
I'm Really a Superstar
Tranxending Vision
Extraordinary Genius
exc...
Generally most modern day chinese novels have a large amount of racism/nationalism.
