Using a first person narrative with occasional fourth wall breaking moments, the author pokes fun at the purple prose and overly dramatic tone of your standard wuxia setting or Mary Sue LitRPG. It's easy to have too much of a good thing with this sort of self-aware parody and we may be there already for some people within the first ten pages.
The protagonist and narrator is Too Old For This, a cynical, tough, genre aware melee fighter. And that's about all we know of him by the end of the second chapter. Future posts will have to either develop him or leave him as a flat narrative tool.
Relatively few spelling errors, but desperately in need of a grammar check before posting. Vaguely similar sounding words regularly replace what the author clearly meant to say based on context.
It's still too early to give this a strong rating one way or another, in large part because the story isn't going anywhere yet. The author said it would be slow going and there's nothing wrong with that as long as the reader has some reason to care. Hopefully we'll be at that point soon.
