Leveling Up and Adding Points in Gensokyo

This book is great in every way, except it's not very engaging at all; it's quite dry.

The beginning was quite good, but the second volume started to have inconsistent power levels and contained nonsensical content, and the third volume was even worse. It's okay to skip around. It feels like they're just characters in a different skin. Once the main god space unfolds, everyone's abilities become insignificant, and the ending is predictable at a glance. It's just something to kill time and pass the time; it has no substance.

So, what is the title of the book "Second Generation"?

It's a free novel!

The more I think about it, the more something seems off. The male lead's personality is downright insane. Was he betrayed by someone he trusted or persecuted by some evil force? If so, it's understandable that he became an autistic child, but it's obvious that he's lived a pretty happy life. This is purely his own madness. The Purple Star route was besieged by the entire Gensokyo, and everyone turned against him. He has no one to blame but himself. If it were me, I would have gone and beaten him up too. He's like an autistic child, constantly reinventing the wheel and adding features all day long. The old knight advised him to take it easy and not to rush things, saying that the human world could protect him from birth, aging, sickness, and death. Qin En replied, "Hey, I won't. I want to become stronger and stand tall in the heavens." Youxiang tried to persuade him to become her servant, saying she was willing to do everything in her power to protect him. Qin En replied, "Hey, I won't. A true man stands tall between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others?" Meiling was worried that he was powerless to protect himself and wanted to become his master to protect her fellow villager. Qin En said, "Hey, I won't. Don't even think about me calling you master. I don't want to be inferior to you." When he was dying, Mei Hong took him to the hospital and paid his medical bills in advance. Qin En said, "I don't want to owe you any money. I must repay this medical bill, no matter how high it is." In addition, there are Alice, Remi, Reimu, and many others—so many people have shown kindness and offered help to the protagonist. But the protagonist is like a non-stick pan; every favor he owes is like a hot potato he absolutely must repay. When others help him, he subconsciously tries to find ways to sever all ties and eliminate any karmic debts, so he can focus on building his car and leveling up his Deep Blue stats. Friendship and bonds are merely stumbling blocks to becoming stronger. Once he becomes stronger, he uses his power to joke around with everyone, but in reality, he looks down on everyone, treating all those close to him like inferior pets. No one can gain his genuine trust. As a result, the future Purple Star route suffered greatly. Because he was too powerful, he was feared and hated by everyone in Gensokyo. Ultimately, this was due to his lack of social interaction. If he had made more friends in Gensokyo, if more people understood his character and cherished their friendships, he wouldn't have reached the point of being universally hated. I feel sorry for that route of Gensokyo; it inexplicably provoked a living devil like Qin En, leading to the annihilation of the entire region. Only the protagonist's overpowered abilities were enough to single-handedly bring down the entire Gensokyo. Even if he accidentally got beaten to death by a mob, it was entirely his own fault. The way the Purple Star storyline turned out is basically the male protagonist's own fault. His obsessive focus on leveling up in isolation stems from two internal factors: firstly, a complete distrust of all external forces, believing only in his own overwhelming power; and secondly, a deep-seated arrogance. He only allows himself to stand in a superior position, as the master of all beings, unwilling to be subordinate to anyone—a typical jinx and harbinger of misfortune in fantasy novels. Because he distrusts everyone's help and is plagued by paranoia, he has no right to complain that others fear his threat and try every means to nip him in the bud.

The beginning part is quite well written, and the overall writing style is quite delicate. But things started to go wrong from the moment Qin En opened the God Space for Remi. The plot was disjointed and the pace was too fast, resulting in empty content. I'd guess that it has a previous manuscript as a foundation, so it can be copied and pasted, and even have some writing polish added, so the quality is relatively high. When the plot reached a turning point, without the foundation laid by the previous story, they started writing their own plot. Perhaps this was due to busy real life or a decline in their writing skills and plot-writing abilities, resulting in a significant drop in quality? The difference between the early and later parts was quite large, which is a pity. Furthermore, readers of Gensokyo fanfiction generally share a love for this world and its various characters. The protagonist is quite withdrawn in the early and middle stages, avoiding interaction with most people. His most frequent interactions are with the Scarlet Devil Mansion family; other characters like Yuuka, Alice, and Mokou, who initially offered valuable kindness, are largely ignored and treated like strangers. His interactions with the girls are practically nonexistent. I suspect the author intended to introduce some novel elements, but quickly realized they couldn't stop, constantly pushing the boundaries and ultimately leading to a path of complete isolation and power-ups. The more fleshed-out characters become obstacles to his growth and are essentially sidelined, which is a significant flaw. Finally, the protagonist's overpowered abilities and lack of real challenges make him incredibly difficult. He can easily overcome most obstacles with a simple cartwheel. Even after mastering his skills and emerging from seclusion, few can treat him as an equal; instead, they can only look up to him. This makes him quite lonely. His interactions with the Scarlet Devil Mansion seem carefree, but there's not much genuine camaraderie for them. This so-called profound camaraderie feels hollow from a third-person perspective. The protagonist treats them like pet cats: petting them when they're well-behaved, offering them Häagen-Dazs when they're not, and then dealing with their amnesiac state. He never has any truly trustworthy allies; he only trusts himself. It's also possible that the author didn't intend to write a long story from the beginning, planning to finish it in 500,000 to 600,000 words. There are actually many plot points that could be expanded upon, but unfortunately, by the time the author wanted to write and expand the plot in detail, the tone had already been set and was difficult to change.
