Minecraft: From the Edge of the World to the Stars

Ah, someone with a real name and a proper marriage certificate is definitely not going to be a cuckold. How can anyone doubt even this? I'm not the kind of person who makes things difficult for readers. Surely Bookke (a bookstore platform) shouldn't be like Tomato (another bookstore), listing a bunch of warning tags in advance. In addition, you definitely can't write about your mother-in-law or anything like that; if you do, it will be rejected by the censors.

I'm a Stellaris player, and when I read this book, I heard it was about a different kind of management game than Stellaris. So I checked out the community, and then... And then, RimWorld players are truly amazing! They're so open and honest, it made me think that someone like me, who's constantly dealing with galaxies destroyed by cataclysms and existence wipes, is incredibly human.

You bought RimWorld to understand what Edgeworld is, and played it for over half a month. When you came back, you only read 16 chapters of the book. #(Laughs) You forgot the plot and had to reread it, but the game is really fun.

I recently got hooked on this after watching this video, do you have any modpack recommendations?

The book's content is quite interesting. However, the pacing is too slow. As a force aiming to dominate space, it's already over a million words in and hasn't even unified its home planet. It hasn't even completely destroyed the Holy Kingdom.

It's just the author's personal style; you can tell from the previous Elder Scrolls book to this one that the author really enjoys writing invincible protagonist stories. However, I still want to complain. There's a bit too much self-talk in the novel, and some settings feel disjointed. While RimWorld allows for a lot of incorporation—the Workshop has mods—being able to add 500+ mods to a game doesn't mean you can do the same in a novel. Too much incorporation will overwhelm readers who haven't played the game. Some games even require frantic patching and reworking of the outline, potentially resulting in a rambling, disjointed narrative. Leaving aside the current situation of the protagonist having a giant Gundam and his minions having smaller Gundams, isn't this overkill? With Minecraft and mods + RimWorld + Emperor Mode, plus some overpowered personal cheat codes, and possibly the Stellaris system later on, I feel like farming is no longer necessary. This combination of elements snowballs; if I were writing this, I probably would have finished in 800,000 words. Among them, the phantom armor was the most jarring thing I saw early on. It could even be layered with real armor to create a double layer—purely overpowered. If you wanted to increase your minions' defense, you didn't need to create such a disjointed setting. You could write that the steel forged in Minecraft's forge is stronger and harder than real steel; there are various methods. There's no need for virtual enhancement. I also didn't really like the Emperor's possession at the start of the game. This character didn't need to appear so early, or even be in a spirit possession form. You could have set it up so that after the protagonist goes to space, they find a relic in some imperial ruins that contains a trace of the Emperor's consciousness, and the protagonist can use this relic to communicate with the Emperor. Other minor details are actually insignificant, although I really want to know where the protagonist got the gold nuggets. The inventory description at the beginning didn't mention any gold ingots, and the protagonist comes with a full set of enchanted iron tools. Overall, the theme is quite good. RimWorld is one of my favorite games, and once you get into it, it's truly addictive. I haven't even realized I've reached 1600 hours in just a few playthroughs; I'm always on the way to starting a new game halfway through...

This is truly a dead end; is this book going to die again?

It's not good to write it too early and then sew the Imperial Rice in later.

If a reader has over 200 mods installed, including but not limited to RJW, Milila, Moro, Qiluo, Moyo, and other races, will they enjoy reading this?

I initially saw some UAF content and thought I'd check it out when I had time, but I never got around to it. It seems either I'm a bit of a pretentious hipster or I'm just stuck on CWM (a Chinese video-sharing website). No wonder the site is getting increasingly dead.
