Man, 'Emperor's Domination' threw me for a loop. I went in expecting a straightforward, lord-of-the-rings type epic fantasy, but it's not that at all. It's a translated Chinese web novel, and the pacing is wildly different. The scope is absolutely epic, spanning millennia with a protagonist who's essentially an ancient monster reborn. If you love huge power scales, arrogant main characters who always have a hidden card up their sleeve, and a world that feels endlessly expansive, you might dig it.
That said, the prose can feel repetitive, and the translation quality varies a lot. It’s a massive time commitment, too. For a fan of traditional Western epic fantasy, the constant face-slapping and cultivation elements might be jarring. I ended up reading it more as a power fantasy guilty pleasure than for deep world-building or nuanced character arcs. It’s worth checking out the first hundred chapters on a site like Wuxiaworld to see if the particular flavor of its epic-ness hooks you.

Finally got around to finishing 'Absolute Dominion' last weekend. What a trip. It starts off feeling like a pretty standard power fantasy with an OP protagonist who gets this artifact granting near-godlike control over reality, but it flips the script pretty fast. The main drive isn't him conquering the world or building a harem – it's about him trying to undo a single, massive mistake he made in a moment of arrogance early on, which shattered the timeline and fused multiple dimensions together.
Most of the book is him navigating this chaotic, merged landscape, trying to find the 'anchor points' to pull reality back into shape, all while dealing with the consequences of his actions. There's this constant tension because his power is absolute, but his understanding and control are flawed; every fix he tries creates two new problems. It's less about fighting villains and more about a cosmic-level cleanup operation where the 'villain' was his own hubris.
I kept thinking it was gonna have a neat solution, but the ending leaves it messy and unresolved, which honestly worked for me. Felt real.

I was looking everywhere for more of 'Absolute Dominion' after finishing it, hoping there was a continuation. From what I've gathered, no direct sequel has been published yet. The author seems to be working on other projects, but the ending of that book left so many threads dangling, especially with the fate of the central AI core and the protagonist's uneasy alliance. I keep checking the author's socials every few months just in case there's an announcement.
It's a bit of a bummer because the worldbuilding was so dense and political. I really wanted to see how the fractured colonies developed after the main conflict. Maybe the standalone nature is intentional, leaving the future up to the reader, but I'd trade a dozen other series for one more book in that universe.

Man, I wish I had good news on this one, but from everything I've seen digging around Chinese web novel sites and fan forums, 'Absolute Dominion' doesn't have a direct, official sequel. The main story wraps up pretty conclusively, which is both a blessing and a curse. The author, Li Tian, seems to have moved on to other projects.
That said, the fandom hasn't let it go completely. There are a handful of fan-written continuations floating around on certain forums, exploring what happens after the final showdown. They're obviously unofficial and vary wildly in quality—some are just power-fantasy extensions, while others try to delve into the political fallout of the ending. If you're really craving more of that world, those might scratch the itch, but it's not the same as a proper sequel.
Honestly, I'm kinda okay with it ending where it did. The last act felt final, you know? The protagonist achieved what they set out to do, and continuing it might've just diluted what made the story work in the first place.
