My Thoughts on Fantasy: I Want to Be a Foolish Emperor! Ruining National Fortune Will Make Me Immortal!
This web novel promises a comedic twist on the classic "misunderstanding" trope, and for the most part, it delivers. The premise is simple: our protagonist, Gao Lingfeng, is transported to an alternate world as its Emperor and given a system that rewards him with immortality for ruining the national fortune. Hilarity ensues as his attempts to sabotage the empire consistently backfire, leading to prosperity and increased respect.
First Impressions
Initially, I found the concept quite appealing. A protagonist actively trying to be terrible, only to inadvertently succeed? That's a recipe for some good laughs. The early chapters definitely capitalized on this, setting up the core dynamic between Gao Lingfeng and his increasingly competent (and misunderstanding) subjects.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. I enjoyed the absurdity of Gao Lingfeng's plans and the ways in which they were misinterpreted. There's a certain charm to a protagonist who wants nothing more than to slack off and achieve immortality, yet ends up being hailed as a visionary leader. Several readers have pointed out the side characters are surprisingly well-developed and likeable, adding depth to the world. The slow-burn romance also seems to be a plus for those who enjoy character development over instant gratification.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is fun, the core loop of "MC makes bad decision -> subjects misunderstand -> good thing happens" can become repetitive after a while. I can see how some readers might find it stale as the story progresses and the MC's actions don't evolve.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Fantasy: I Want to Be a Foolish Emperor!" is a decent comedic read, especially if you're a fan of the "misunderstanding" trope. The humor and character interactions are enjoyable, but the repetitive plot and potential for nationalistic elements are worth keeping in mind. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a lighthearted and silly story, but be aware of its potential shortcomings as you delve deeper.
