The game I planned, Phobia Kingdom. Before its release, I was editing the emperor character in the developer version. “Being slightly overpowered is what makes it fun.” I planned to rule the empire with a single instant-death skill. But was it fate’s twist? When I opened my eyes, I was the emperor. In an empire overflowing with powerful beings, my goal is survival. Since it’s a game I designed, conquering the world shouldn’t be too hard, as long as I can stay alive.

My Thoughts on The Emperor Wants to Live
First Impressions
"The Emperor Wants to Live" immediately hooked me with its premise: a protagonist thrown into a fantasy world with game-like elements, already possessing a decent level of strength, but with room to grow. It felt like a power fantasy with a twist, and I was eager to see how the author would execute it. From the get-go, the setting was intriguing, an empire rife with conflict and secrets, and the main character's initial goal of survival added a layer of tension that kept me invested.
What Works Well
What I enjoyed most about this novel was its straightforward approach to the "strong to stronger" trope. There weren't convoluted power systems or overly complex political machinations bogging down the story. Instead, I found a relatively easy-to-follow narrative that prioritized fun and progression. The author clearly understands the appeal of watching a protagonist overcome challenges and steadily increase in power. Even though the plot might not be the most unpredictable, the journey itself was enjoyable. I also appreciated the moments of levity sprinkled throughout. The side characters, while not deeply fleshed out, added a welcome dose of personality and humor to the overall experience.
Areas of Concern
While I found "The Emperor Wants to Live" to be a generally entertaining read, I also recognized some areas where it could improve. The predictable nature of the plot, while not a deal-breaker, did detract slightly from my overall enjoyment. I would have liked to see more unexpected twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat. Additionally, while the side characters were fun, they often felt a bit underdeveloped. More depth and complexity in their personalities and motivations would have made them more memorable and impactful.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Emperor Wants to Live" is a solid fantasy novel that delivers on its promise of a fun and engaging power fantasy. While it may not be a groundbreaking work of literature, it offers a satisfying reading experience with a likeable protagonist, exciting action sequences, and a steady progression of power. If you're looking for a straightforward and entertaining read with a focus on growth and adventure, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
