The Calamity of Nightmares

To put it simply, the Blackwater Town in this first chapter could easily stand alone as a full-fledged novel in the Eastern fantasy/supernatural genre, featuring excellent cultivation techniques and an amazing leveling system. The author's writing skills and plot development are both quite good. I personally prefer Eastern fantasy and supernatural genres, but the style shift in the second chapter... Well, to each their own.

The book is actually quite good, but the three golden chapters have some issues. I didn't read much of the early plot; it only really gets going around the time the Blackwater Realm takes on disciples. I guess many people gave up after just reading the beginning. It only really gets better in the Undead Beasts and Wizard Realms chapters.

Four stars. It's actually quite well written, in terms of subject matter and content; however, the excessive psychological descriptions really detract from the reading experience, and the behavior is too simplistic. Perhaps it's because I've been watching a certain site for a long time and my expectations are a bit too high. Retract this statement; a single instance inexplicably has many chapters dedicated to cultivation.

I've read over 30 chapters, and it seems quite good. Chapter 60, the wedding scene felt a bit abrupt, so I'm deducting one point. Chapter 65 feels like it was written by a completely different person, so let's just forget about it.

This book is pretty good 😊, readable and original, with well-developed characters. However, I hope it has a single female lead, and that this female lead is the one whose soul is split from the woman her master tells her to choose during the first nightmare mission.

To be honest, there are a lot of female characters. It would be better to spend more time on other aspects, such as the protagonist's exploration and innovation in papercraft. The first world was quite well-written, but the second world had a lot of flaws. If the author had focused on leveling up as the main plot and using women as a secondary element, the result would have been better.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but the second dungeon was much worse than the first. It just didn't have that appealing feel anymore, and the characters' personalities were a lot different from the first dungeon.

Blackwater Town was well-written, giving it an Eastern mystical feel. The Undead Beasts were so-so, but The Wizarding World was a real headache. A single sentence was explained over and over again, with many similar plot points within a single chapter. Also, I disliked the crazy female lead; I found the neurotic woman utterly unappealing.

The plot of this wizarding world is so similar to a novel I read a long time ago. It's all about survival of the fittest, traveling from the frontier to a wizarding faction 🤦, it's also about the sea, encountering danger, and now I see they want to meet a wizard... Could it be about becoming an apprentice? 🤦 And in some places, there's too much water (meaning excessive silliness) 🤦 The protagonist is sometimes decisive and ruthless, but other times he's indecisive and lacks common sense.

It's well-written, and the first world was really fun. I wanted to see how they continued cultivating, but unfortunately, they wouldn't allow it to be broadcast if they continued writing. It's a shame, but I really loved the first world. Goodbye! I wish the author continued success in their writing. If they ever return to the first world, remember to tag me!
