A Huge Collection of Fourth Calamity Stories! Looking for Good Ones About Players Invading!
I read all kinds of novels, and lately I've really been into fourth natural disaster stories, especially ones centered on players.

Don't hold back your favorites. Bring out the books you've been saving for a rainy day!

It's a very good novel. Although it has a similar plot development to other novels of the same genre, its depiction of game players, the number of players, and the progress are all better than most of the similar works. However, the male protagonist's system isn't very good. He frequently needs 10 wish points to exchange for a day's use of a body.
The pacing in the early stages was good, but the ending was too rushed. This book does have its exciting moments, but the first few chapters might be a bit too discouraging. It doesn't quite get into the rhythm, causing many readers to stop reading. You can actually skip those first few chapters and go straight to the main story where the player enters the game. Overall, the content is quite good; the protagonist gives players money and leads them to success.
It's clear that the author struggled a bit in the first dozen or so chapters, debating whether to focus on the two generations of reselling or on the ensemble cast. But once things flowed smoothly later on, the style never strayed from the main theme, the characters' logic was sound, and the story progressed in a well-organized manner. In addition, the D&D elements are quite interesting.
Honestly, it's been a while since I've read a book like this. I was a little put off at first, but it got really good later on. I hope the author can keep going and not stop updating or leave it unfinished!
Seeing that there were no requests for updates and the book said it was finished with the last page, I knew it was complete. The initial setup was actually quite good. The story might just end abruptly, just like this book—it's over.
It's a great read, unlike other Fourth Calamity novels. This book clearly separates the game storyline from the real-world storyline, making you genuinely feel that it's a story about the protagonist and the players, rather than just the players acting alone. This aspect really appealed to me. The pace of progress in the game is also good.
No romantic partner; reborn as a mediator system, bridging the gap between two worlds and working for the benefit of people in both. A very interesting premise; I wish I could have a job like that: earning a salary by playing games, experiencing adventures, and exercising at night, and going out to play and enjoy life during the day.
Five stars, definitely! It's been a long time since I've found a book that suits my taste, even though my taste is a bit unique. Haha. My eyes are tired from reading, but I still want to keep going. Very good!
The novel is fantastic! The plot is never boring, and there are no major flaws. It's incredibly enjoyable to read, and the theme is very fresh—not like the typical "Fourth Calamity" stories you see on the market. Highly recommended! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]
This is a rare fourth-generation novel; its essence lies in the fact that the players are like players, and the game is fun, at least in a way that makes the reader feel entertained.
