Modern Fiction with a Twist + Supernatural + Fantasy + No CP
I died. The author killed me off. You heard that right: that idiot killed off the female lead just to wrap things up quickly. I'm officially the most miserable female lead in history. We're all characters in the hands of higher-dimensional beings, molded and reshaped as they please, unable to fight back. Since the author showed me no mercy, I'll defy him.
I'll negotiate with higher-dimensional beings, make a deal with the devil, go to the Ghost Realm, apply for a job as a soul ferrier, and travel to different realms to collect vengeful spirits and complete missions.
I'll hunt down the keyboard warrior who drove a female star to her death, the man who tortured animals, the powerful man who bullied a boy to death, and the Zombie King who sought revenge on an innocent girl. I'll also compete against prodigies from every corner of the world...
I have to grow. I have to keep growing so I can take control of my life, change my fate, and restart my world...
I came to review this after reading halfway through. Overall, it's alright. Finding out it's the author's first book makes sense; the writing is incredibly detailed and requires a lot of patience. But Tomato (the author's) platform is too fast-paced, so surprisingly, not many people read such a good book!
This book belongs to the "Growth-Oriented Female Protagonist" genre, and because it's a no-romance story, it focuses on a lot of practical information! The female protagonist isn't brainless; she's resilient and adaptable. The supporting characters are also quite engaging. Although there's no romance, it emphasizes friendship and family bonds, as well as the workplace and rules of the ghost world.
I really like one line from the book: "They don't care what you've been through. They don't care about you at all. They think you're wrong, and you are wrong. They don't need a reason to destroy you! Those higher worlds, those higher beings, are far more cruel and ruthless than you can imagine!" It suddenly made me think about all the authors in the world.
The plot is good. The first ten chapters focus on the environment and system of the ghost realm, as well as the reader's sense of participation. Later, as a guide on missions, the character gradually grows, giving a sense of growth for an ordinary person.
Seeing the anti-animal cruelty section made me come back to comment! The ghosts the protagonist captures are psychologically disturbed; they like to adopt stray cats and dogs, treat them well, and build trust! Then, when they're most dependent on them, they boil them alive, skin them, and dismember them until they die of despair! And those animals didn't report it to the animal control bureau; they said they were once a light, but that light later became a deadly disaster. Sigh 😔
I waited until chapter 52 to leave a review. It's very well-written, and the protagonist's plot armor isn't too strong. What I envy most is that she has control of her own destiny, while we... Well, who knows who has ours? 😂
I'm the author, fellow Daoists. If you've had some free time, come and read my new book, [A Soul Like Me]. I've been updating 4,000 words a day for 27 consecutive days, and it's currently at 170,000 words. I'll continue writing today. Thanks for watching! Please don't force me to beg you on my knees (>_<)
First of all, this book is great; it's a slow and steady read, and the several side stories are all very engaging! Secondly, could the author of the book I wrote possibly come out and talk to me? I'm so poor I can't sleep, could you please change your writing style? I want to take the easy route to success, and ideally, I'd like a rich best friend to financially support me 😂
It's really good. First of all, it's written in the first person. I especially like Xiao Mo, and I hope he gets more screen time. The story is also quite exciting, especially with some real cases, such as the wrongful death of the boy in Hebi, the fan culture in the entertainment industry, and the anti-animal cruelty law dimension. It's very interesting. In the animal world, humans are the only ones, while in the human world, animals are just pets for entertainment. It's a bit sad...
Sure, the writing style has a touch of humor, and most importantly, the main character has a somewhat silly personality. The supporting characters are also quite well-developed.
