🍉I watched the latest episode in one go. At first glance, it seemed rambling, but as I read on, it got better and better. In the end, I was completely absorbed in it. 😏At first, I didn't know Director Ma, but after looking back, I realized he was already someone important.
Sure, sure, the protagonist's cheat ability is infinite reincarnation, and adding a bit of conspiracy theory to the book makes it somewhat novel.
The author writes very well, keep it up! I couldn't help but watch it all in one go, and it's already 3:40 AM 😱. I still have to get up at 7 AM to go to work 😵, and it's a 12-hour day shift 🤦. Am I doomed? (😂 I can still sleep for 3 hours, should I go back to sleep? 🤔)
I initially thought it was terrible after seeing a lot of negative reviews, but after watching it, I think it's not bad at all. Through repeated cycles of trial and error and correction, it's not as bad as the reviews made it out to be. However, you need to watch it carefully and not skip around.
It took me several days to finally finish reading! (I downloaded it and read it with the internet off, so the reading time might be inaccurate.) It's a new adaptation of a mythological story, old wine in new bottles. The plot is full of twists and turns and not mediocre at all, and the characters are portrayed quite vividly.
It's alright, not bad. If it updates three times a week, it can keep readers engaged; otherwise, the new book might die from lack of support.
A very good prehistoric fantasy novel. The protagonist is indeed a bit foolish in the early stages, but the author manages to smooth out these flaws later on. It's very enjoyable. The time travel and reincarnation elements are quite different from what I imagined, because I've always felt that time is a cycle, and everything you do is predetermined.
Having finished the book, I think the overall message is good: endless reincarnation and trial and error all for the sake of getting it right once. The interpretations of some mythological stories are also reasonable. Aside from the somewhat rough ending, the rest of the plot is quite good. Others who gave it a low score after reading or listening to only a few chapters are clearly just mindless haters. I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
This book touched me deeply. At first, I thought it was a reflection of workplace relationships, but I almost gave up on it because the protagonist didn't make any progress. Then I realized that it's truly remarkable that he could maintain his original personality for thousands of years.
Jiang Ziya, a character in the classic Chinese novel *Investiture of the Gods*, is a highly controversial figure. His image is complex and multifaceted, displaying both profound wisdom and weakness. In the novel, Jiang Ziya is depicted as a divine being with unparalleled insight into the universe and human nature, his words always brimming with philosophical wisdom.
