Xiao Zhi has been addicted to games recently. His hobby is robbing the boss. He is living in Hessian with his gentle, shy and prosperous and beautiful little brother, giving gifts to each other, going for a walk on a date, and having a good time. After he woke up, he logged in to the game, but the game is no longer the same version. It is said that the ruthless and gloomy Lord of Hessian once had a lover who cheated him for money and deceived him for s**, and then evaporated, making him wait for hundreds of years. And the wanted notice is still valid till now. Xiao Zhi looked at the unobtainable items that were shining with gold in his game backpack:…You’re not talking about me, are you? For the sake of his life, he had to embark on the road of self-improvement by punching the boss and stepping on the player, and became the creator of many legends on the mainland. At the top auction, legendary treasures shocked the people. The ancient city that has been lost for a thousand years has actually reappeared in the world. Xiao Zhi: Yes, I did all these.

Player: There are top bosses participating in this battle, it’s finished. Xiao Zhi: You guys wait… Lord Hessian: You can have my life anytime you want, as long as you are willing to keep my corpse by your side. Xiao Zhi: What happened in the past few hundred years? And, where is my gentle and shy little brother!?

My Thoughts on It Is Said That I Attacked the Great Demon King

First Impressions

"It Is Said That I Attacked the Great Demon King" immediately struck me as a light and fluffy read, perfect for when you need a break from heavier stories. The premise is intriguing, and the promise of a shounen ai romance within a futuristic, game-like world definitely piqued my interest. I dove in hoping for a heartwarming adventure, and for the most part, that's what I got.

What Works Well

The novel excels in its simplicity and lack of angst. If you're looking for a story where everything goes smoothly and you don't have to worry about major heartbreaks or complex plot twists, this could be a good fit. The relationship between the MC and ML is sweet, with the typical cold love interest trope softened by the MC's earnestness. I particularly enjoyed the accelerated growth aspect; watching the protagonist become stronger is always a satisfying experience. I can see the appeal of a story where the MC ends up surpassing the ML in power.

Areas of Concern

While the lack of angst is a plus for some, I did find the plot a little too straightforward. The MC's rapid power-ups sometimes felt a bit unearned. For example, the idea that the MC gained so many levels just by working as a secretary felt a little far-fetched and made the accomplishments of other players feel less meaningful. This led to a feeling of imbalance, as the power scaling was a bit too accelerated. The overarching mystery of Noah Pei's treasure also felt a little underwhelming in its resolution.

However, if you're looking for complex plots, intricate world-building, or realistic power scaling, you might find it a bit lacking. I'd recommend it as a palate cleanser between heavier novels, or for readers who enjoy straightforward, feel-good stories.
