My goodness, this should be considered a new genre. The writing is delicate and interesting, and the plot has no major flaws. It's just that there are too few of these, and it's so painful that I have to keep reading!
It's good-looking, and the protagonist's genes have been elevated. The protagonist starts as a little boy (the kind who gets beaten up by the priest), then it turns out to be Liu Shan, then Goujian, then it seems like Qin Shi Huang in FGO, then Fuxi, and then it turns out to be Emperor of Warhammer 40k. Now she's a mother of thousands of children. P. S.: I don't quite agree with the idea that the white-haired, red-eyed loli mimicry hasn't evolved.
The plot is reasonable (reaching the lower-middle level of first-rate? The word count is increasing, keep it up, it's probably on par with Black Star's book), the characters are vividly portrayed, the flow is smooth, and it's addictive. I urge the author not to be ungrateful and to update the game properly.
Brothers, buy with confidence, it's guaranteed to be good. Style: This book is somewhat mysterious and eccentric. Characters: The main character is a mysterious creature (a two-meter-tall white moth with compound eyes on both sides?). Plot: The protagonist is currently the Pope, spreading the gospel (anime/manga style, real life). Writing style: The writing is fluent, and I haven't seen any typos (or maybe I'm just blind). In conclusion: Who doesn't love a cute (not really) big, fluttering moth?
A truly excellent book, it embodies the themes of immortality and survival of the fittest, rather than some works labeled as "prodigy" or similar genres. Some readers said the early plot was off-putting, but that just means everyone has different tastes. The protagonist is, after all, just an ordinary person without any powerful cheat codes.
Wow, I even read the author's first book, though I didn't finish it; it was a long time ago. But this new book is a huge improvement over the last one. Keep up the good work, author! There are only fifty chapters so far, it's simply not enough! 😏😏
I've been reading this for quite a while now, following it since the last book. I was quite upset when that one finished, and I still feel unsatisfied. So I started reading this new book. To be honest, this book might not be as toned as the last one. I've read quite a lot of medieval, Western fantasy, and Cthulhu fanfiction, and I'm a bit tired of it. It's a little less enjoyable for me. The writing is still quite good, though, so I might continue reading. Five stars.
"Authentic Psychology, Fully Explaining Doubts" begins with a summary of the story's direction, immersing the reader in the narrative. Volume One: The Western Fantasy Era Begins, a time of ignorance and strangeness. Before it, there is the legend of the Mother Goddess's descent to earth; afterward, a saint judges the world!
It's really great, especially after joining the church, it's so awesome!
I've read about chapter 76 so far, and based on my assessment as a long-time bookworm, I'd only give it a score above 8, around 8.5. Firstly, the strengths: the plot is tight enough, the subject matter is interesting, and while I don't particularly like the plot development, it's still reasonable.
