Well, the plot is lively, interesting, and fast-paced, the world-building is vast, and every character is well-developed with no major flaws. The only downside is the horror element – how can the game work without nerfing the horror elements? I suggest strengthening the protagonist. However, the mystery surrounding the protagonist is a welcome improvement.
If you don't have the strength, you can't control your subordinates. Just like the headquarters in the mystery resurrection, in the later stages, none of the captains listened to them. The protagonist needs to improve himself.
Good book, the theme is quite novel and worth reading. I skimmed to the latest chapter in one night. It's clear there are many elements of supernatural resurgence and borrowing from it, but the horror atmosphere doesn't quite reach the level of the original (in fact, I haven't seen any supernatural resurgence novels that surpass it, haha). The ancient setting is quite interesting.
The combination of ancient emperors and the supernatural is a very interesting theme, but the ghosts feel invincible to the point of being bugged; they can't be killed, only sealed away, and the ghost controllers have short lifespans. The rest of the story is well-written, but the ghosts are just too overpowered.
It's definitely not a mindless, lighthearted read, but overall, the author seems to lack writing experience, which is evident in various parts. It's still a decent read for casual reading, so I'll give it 4 stars as encouragement.
The writing is quite good. The rules of the mysterious resurgence are such that only the supernatural can deal with the supernatural. The protagonist travels from the apocalypse to an ancient emperor, immediately facing the resurgence of the supernatural and constantly escaping it. He possesses a book of human skin that can predict his death. The supernatural is only interesting when it's insurmountable; it has a terrifying feel to it.
Leaving aside other aspects, let's just talk about the premise. If this novel had been set up as a dual-world story, with the protagonist traveling back and forth between ancient and modern times, and also incorporating some minor power-ups that make the protagonist stronger, it might have had the potential to become a hit. However, since the author chose a slower-paced, single-world setting, it can only rely on persistence and hard work to become popular.
After so many years, let's give it a try! The character design is problematic; this emperor seems pretty useless. The theme is quite novel—ancient supernatural resurgence—that's the only highlight [salute]. Sigh, everything else was just so-so, although I still finished watching it back then. Keep improving! This setting feels like it could be explored more deeply. 🍉 Give the protagonist some identity.
The author writes very well, and the characters are very well-developed. I hope they all have happy endings.
It looks pretty good, why isn't anyone watching it? 🤔
