The Demon's Gate. is less a novel than a bedtime story. It's a bunch of ideas strung up in a row, rather than a plot in a developed world.
What's good: the author knows how to write sentences, and is fascinated by fantasy.
What needs work: Worldbuilding, plot, pacing, depth, characters, being interesting. The story here wasn't planned. You don't have a chance to explore any place or character before they're abandoned for the next idea. We get suggestions of what could be, but no exploration of what is. It's a hodgepodge of non-believable characters following social and cultivation rules that make no sense, and you skim from one empty setting to another every chapter or two.
I love the genre, but this story is shallow and uninteresting.

This is easily one of my favorite light novels, although whatever issue there is clearly deserves more views, and readers.

Nothing new, and mediocre if not terrible excution. Forced and questionable story telling and setting. Unnatural dialogue between character. Other than good grammar and word choice there is nothing to praise about this novel.
