Honestly, the more I read this novel, the more I loved it. It was almost addictive; it was really good.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a good work. I've learned a lot and gained many insights. I'm truly grateful to the author and hope that Pan Haigen will write more and more excellent works.
I always rewatch the prequel every now and then, and each time it leaves me feeling heavy-hearted, but I still can't help but want to watch it again.
It's very well written, I really enjoyed reading it. Every detail is explained very clearly. I hope you will write more books like this in the future. I will continue to follow your work. Thank you!
It's really good! I've read it before! I'm reading it again now. The first time I read it on another e-reader!
I've been reading this book since elementary school, all the way through college. I've read it completely from beginning to end more than seven times. I remember reading it on Tencent's Penguin platform before Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform) existed. It's absolutely the best and most exciting novel I've ever read, with no dull moments and almost no plot holes.
Finally finished watching! Compared to the present-day storyline, the past-life plot is significantly richer. Chen Ergou is too much of a saint, but the battle against Miao Shi in Miao Village really shocked me, especially the scene where Miao Shi cried out for justice—it was amazing!
The first half (this life) is rather mediocre; both the plot and writing style feel dragged out and are difficult to read. However, the second half (the previous life) is exceptionally well-written, vividly depicting the wickedness of the human heart. The whole book leaves the reader with much to ponder… about life, social values, and the individual… and much more.
I finally finished reading it! The storyline was captivating; while reading, I felt as if I were immersed in that chaotic world, experiencing both thrills and sorrows. A huge thumbs up to the author! It's truly excellent writing!
The second half is especially good. I read it five years ago and now I'm rereading it. I've read many novels, including some very famous ones, but this one is number one in my heart. It's just too short. The second half is particularly wonderful. I really hope there will be a sequel. It's a pity that the author didn't focus his energy on this book. It's such a shame.
