I have glimpsed through the bad reviews and a lot of them are due to misunderstandings of hierarchy in governments and families, just because Wang Chong wants to tell his father not to go somewhere doesn’t mean he exactly can, as he is the third son and cannot order his father around but only give him a warning, he can’t take command of any armies or troops until he gains the qualified position because there is always the threat of accusations of rebellion and resisting the Emperors will, these will both lead to imprisonment and the death of his clan and himself.

There was complaints about him being loyal to Emperor Taiyi, and that’s because not only does he respect the Emperor for everything he has done for the Tang, but also because he has too as a subject of the Tang.

Another complaint being the name of the novel The Human Emperor, it was never his goal to become an Emperor only at the end of the novel with Li Heng’s sacrifice is the reason he became one, with Li Heng himself saying he knew that Wang Chong would never agree to it.

I have a lot more to say but a lot of the bad reviews can be explained by reading the novels and understanding Wang Chong was a genius in strategy and pure intelligence during his first life on RTS and war games, coupled with the amount of trials and struggles he went through against the otherworldly army in his second life and then knowing what will happen and knowing the future and planning and defeating all his future enemies, will give the Tang Empire the idea that Wang Chong indeed is a undisputed genius and War God amongst the rest of the continent.

His tactics consist of building a steel fort so provocatively that the enemy is compelled to throw their soldiers at it.

The MC gets his hands on a type of metal that can make the ultimate swords using the MC's secret methods. At the start it can cut through a metal mountain like a hot knife through butter as well as break a bunch of swords that were all fighting for the title of worlds best sword. It goes from that to only being able to deal with mobs and making titled mobs open there eyes and have pale faces as they realise they probably won't win this fight.

The "Invincible General" starts off being able to deal with a mountain full of bandits around his level with this sword. Now he's just a signal for "Oh, this guy's strong" when he gets knocked away.

Use more people to gang-up on the dude

He can absorb other peoples energy when he kills people or is attacked which makes him stronger. He should be constantly slaughtering but doesn't seem to use it much anymore.

He also gets 'psychic energy' which is really rare and can be used to control animals and ens*ave/attack people. He doesn't seem to be doing sh*t with it. There's a massive thing with bird scouts which he could take advantage of but hasn't seem to thought of anything.
