It’s not a matter of finding those who hurt him, but how much he’ll make them pay. What will it be, qi or magic? But why do decisions always have to be black and white? Can’t he mix his own shade of gray? (etvo’s synopsis) Previous: According to legend, there is a red-colored portal somewhere in the starry sky that’s stained by blood and fire.

My Thoughts on Stargate
Alright, let's dive into "Stargate." I've been exploring this web novel, and it's definitely a mixed bag, but with enough intriguing elements to keep me reading. It's a blend of modern martial arts and supernatural abilities, a combination that always piques my interest.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a protagonist, Li Hao, driven to uncover the truth behind his best friend's death. He joins the police force and gets involved with a special department dealing with supernatural cases. It felt like a solid setup, and I was eager to see where the story would lead. I will say that the beginning is a bit fast-paced, so be prepared to jump right in.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects is the main character himself. Li Hao isn't your typical naive protagonist. He's a schemer, playing the weakling while harboring significant strength. This duality makes him compelling, and I enjoyed watching him navigate the complex world he finds himself in. The cultivation system is sophisticated, too. It appears simple at first, but there's more than meets the eye. I also have to give the author credit for adding romance to the story, which is funny as expected.
Areas of Concern
While the initial chapters hooked me, I can see where some readers might find the later parts less engaging. I noticed some readers felt the author may have gotten tired and started reusing elements from previous works. It's something to be aware of as you progress through the story. Also, some readers may find that there is too much exposition and not enough "show don't tell".

Final Verdict
Overall, I'd give "Stargate" a solid recommendation, especially if you're a fan of martial arts, supernatural elements, and a protagonist with hidden depths. While it might have some pacing issues and potential reliance on previous works, the engaging characters and intriguing plot make it a worthwhile read. Just be aware of the potential spoilers and consider checking out the earlier books in the trilogy for a richer experience.
