We're hiring! Excellent benefits, includes time travel, rebirth, and a free system. Due to an overabundance of new small worlds, there's a severe shortage of transmigrators. Therefore, we're now recruiting transmigrators, regardless of age or gender, first come, first served. Give us a like 👍 to get the system. (Give it a try, it's free!)
(Above Average) Excellent +/8.0+ Points, marked... The story has good immersion, good plot twists, average setting, excellent writing, good pacing, excellent imagination, good character design, good main storyline, and excellent logic. (11) Additional deductions: None Personal impressions: The writing style is a bit lacking, and it doesn't feel very engaging. The main problem is the pacing.
The entire world has been kidnapped and imprisoned, forced into a killing game. Our protagonist—Su Yang!—Awakens the talent "Recognizing a Thief as Father," but due to a failed verification, he awakens his only true talent—Deception! If half the people believe your lies, they become truth to a certain extent. See, sisters, a super handsome protagonist, intelligent and reliable, a worthwhile investment! If you don't like it, you can blame the author 🤭 (Just kidding!)
This novel is quite good. It feels like a work by a master author—not overly complex, but still requiring some mental effort to read. I really enjoy this type of novel; it's about escaping through a series of games without too many foreshadowing elements. I eagerly anticipate each game.
I absolutely love this kind of purely evil, manipulative, and cunning protagonist! (* /∇\*) The protagonist is highly intelligent, hehe, and quite good-looking too. The pacing is pretty fast, which is my type. It's not exactly horror, and the protagonist's talent for deception is amazing. I really love this kind of story!!!
A mind-bending game, I love the main character, currently there's no romance, detailed and sharp, highly recommended for readers who enjoy brain-teasing stories, not at all silly or lighthearted, I absolutely love it. It's somewhat like The Hunger Games, but completely different, with a round table trick game, an immersive goose-and-duck battle royale, and many other games, like a battle royale game. Highly recommended! Caution: ladies who can't handle action or violence, don't read this! 😳
This book is so awesome! While the "deception talent" horror game element is a bit cliché, the plot doesn't involve chasing after every girl and killing every guy; it's definitely a gem among new books. 😫 It's getting increasingly superficial; I doubt anyone will actually continue to read this book carefully. 🤔
Author, what are you doing? The Guinness World Record is 807 letters per minute. Assuming each Chinese character requires six letters, that's about 134 words per minute. Since you're not the record holder, let's just say 100 words per minute. According to World Organization standards, a healthy person needs eight hours of sleep.
This is my first male-oriented novel, and I personally think it's pretty good. I'm only reviewing it now after reading 1000 chapters. Overall, it's very exciting, except for one chapter where the game story went on for too long. But it gets better and better as it goes on, so trust me, you can keep reading. The protagonist is also portrayed as strong, rational, and highly intelligent.
Having read over 200 chapters, this is the novel I've read that most closely resembles a death game. Other novels that call themselves "games" are merely plot instances, completely unrelated to the concept of a game. This novel, however, is the real game. Whether there will be more game-like elements later on remains to be seen; if it deviates from this path, I'll abandon it.
