Yama Rising我要做阎罗

I'll start with the bad sides:

• It has nationalism and people don't like it. But duh! of course it has nationalism. I mean the MC is literally rebuilding Chinese Underworld to recover its former glory. Which is all written by a Chinese author... I don't get those people who start it with the expectation to not see these stuff.

Don't worry though. The nationalism is quite mild compared to most WNs. It won't ruin the experience.

• The novel has lots of long ass monologues. I wasn't too bothered by this however from what I've seen, many people couldn't finish the novel because of these huge walls of text.

• The quality of female characters are bad compared to their male counterparts. Surprised? Not really. This is a problem that ever CN has.

Nothing else comes to my mind other than these. Honestly it doesn't even have many cons in the first place.

Anyways as for the good sides:

• The author has clearly done his research. The whole underworld politics and history are already interesting on their own, now add in the detailed world-building and it becomes a really good premise.

• The author references plenty of popular novels, games, pop culture, shows, movies etc. and I've liked that a lot. He also referenced Renegade Immortal at some point, absolutely loved that one lmao.

• The horror is done well. Although we get lesser and lesser horror stuff as we go further into the story, it was quite well written in the earlier chapters.

• I like how the MC goes from a scaredy cat to a dignified ruler. He is immortal and pretty much spent most of his life hiding this secret from public, but when he was given the mission to rebuild Hell, he had to put aside his fear in order to accomplish this task.

He is already a very intelligent person and talented in politics and stuff. He just needed a little push to shine, which is what happened in the later chapters (500+).

Hmm also, I've seen people that hate the MC for being scared of death. Despite being immortal (as in infinite lifespan) he can die but can reincarnate after dying.

Though, I understand the MC, I would be scared too if I lost all of my experiences, my happiest moments etc. upon reincarnation. Memories are important, especially when you will outlive all humanity. I guess you can only cope through memories after you are all alone. Dunno what these readers are on.

TL;DR: The character development is superb.

• The comedy is pretty good, albeit a bit different from the ones we got used to, its still funny.

• Sometimes the plans and schemes of the MC get so hyped up and are actually executed well. All that waiting and stuff are worth it...Heh, especially the characters' reactions...Yup, definitely worth it.

Overall its a very underrated novel, despite its flaws i would expect it to be more popular here. I advise you to read it, you won't regret it.

mc is a loser who gets bullied by other kids his age, not for me

do you hate politics and nationalism in novels? if yes i suggest you avoid this, while the start is free from those problems later in the novel

There are always missing chapters in every novel. Don't you check at all? At least properly copy the content you copied. lol...

I deleted my review bymistake
And I am to lazy to write it again. So all imma say is its 100% worth your time. 8.75/10 (as of chapter 877)

Is there any romance?

By Hell's Dictum, all Rabble Shall Disperse!

Is this good?
