Honkai: From the Start, Avoiding Five Hundred Years of Detours

The beginning of this book was alright, but it became increasingly difficult to read, especially with the inexplicable addition of a bunch of Kevin's scenes, some half-baked plot points that were then abandoned, and a considerable amount of filler. It truly started strong but ended weak, far inferior to the author's previous book, *Only Love Valkyries*. Now, this book doesn't have any room for further padding; the author should just finish it quickly and start the next one.

This book is strange. Aside from the cheesy plot, even the romantic subplots lack depth, far inferior to the previous one about falling in love with a Valkyrie. In this one, Kiki and Fu Hua inexplicably fall for the protagonist, their characters barely established. The male supporting characters, Siegfried, Welt, and Kevin, are overly emphasized. Siegfried's portrayal is somewhat better, but why did Welt have to be paired with Tesla in the original world? Without it, the original plot could be ignored, but adding it makes Tesla's storyline in this world feel very strange. Then there's Kevin. Putting aside the numerous interactions with Kevin, the various suggestive descriptions of Mei (like wanting to sleep next to her, drinking all night with her) are similar to the previous book. Then, suddenly they start writing about Mei and Kevin's romantic subplot, which is worse than the previous book where Kevin was completely unconscious throughout. Finally, regarding the author, perhaps due to a past experience of being elbowed during a blind date and engagement, the author seems somewhat hesitant about relationships, even showing signs of fatigue with cheesy plots, resulting in only formulaic side-story descriptions of parties later on. As a long-time reader, I subscribed to the entire book in one go these past few days. From the initial excitement of a new book to the numbness of formulaic plots, I still think the author should consider what readers actually want to read, or perhaps change their writing style. Regardless, I'm still happy to have read the author's "Falling in Love with the Valkyrie and the Mission Master," which created so many wonderful girls. 🙂🙂🙂 I hope this book will also have a perfect ending, giving those good girls a happy one.

Is this plot a result of the author suppressing Cecilia's unrequited love for too long, ultimately leading to a breakdown?

Author, stop messing with Cecilia! You've been acting weird lately. I've been following your books for years, from middle school until now, after all these years. Don't feed me shit!

Even the side stories I wrote for "Only Love Valkyries" would be far better than this one.

Does the author really intend to continue writing Honkai Impact 3rd? He's become somewhat loyal. Looking back, Watching the author's books turn him from a fan of Mir 2 to a hater of Mir 2. It's truly moving.

You might as well start a new book. The current plot is getting worse and worse; it gets boring after a while. #(Sweat)

The author has gone mad! (So sad) This is so weird.

Oh no, I got elbowed by that nasty woman! (Crying)

The Forearm Warrior is gone; we need a new Forearm Warrior.
