★★★ 3.0
As a huge fan of Ancient Rome and an enjoyer of reincarnation novels, I was initially excited to read this novel. The two adversaries seemed like a nice twist. Instead, I found a trashy cultivation novel that didn't even bother to do any research about Ancient Rome.
1) Style
At the beginning of the story, the Author's style is extremely in your face. Characters, names and events are thrown at you in multitudes to the point that you struggle to differentiate between who is who and why they are doing what without going back to re-read the chapter and try to piece it together. This isn't aided by the words the author likes to use that make absolutely no sense in the context and the meaning of which isn't explained.
2) Story
The beginning of the story seemed interesting, but it was barely explained before moving to "Ancient Rome", which seems to have cultivators? Famous characters who don't actually exist in Ancient Rome? Nor does the culture at all appear to be Roman. The story would have made more sense if it took place in Ancient China.
Also, the premise with Felix, who Gallio hates because his sister? got raped by a German soldier (who were referred to as "barbarians" in Ancient Rome, author, not Germans and whom the Romans most certainly didn't have easily available books about) and then gave birth to Felix, is confusing. Ancient Rome had widespread use of abortions, why didn't they use this if his birth was such a problem?
3) Grammar
The spelling is mostly fine. The grammar is rather disjointed and the author seems to forget what capitalisation is. Additionally, the author uses words that make no sense in the context of the story and doesn't explain whatever new meaning they seem to have assigned the words.
4) Characters
First, since this is supposed to be in Ancient Rome, I will point out that none of the characters have proper Roman names. The author gave them Romanish first names, but that is all.
A proper Roman name consists of either "name surname" or "name s
