The author is writing more and more smoothly, keep it up! ^0^~ The pace is fast, and there's much less filler text. Readers who frequently read Huayu (a Chinese entertainment news website) won't need to read that nonsense anymore. (This post is a reward from the author for posting a comment using a secondary account; it costs 30 yuan for a meal of boiled pork slices.)
It's quite interesting; the author has a lot of ideas. The protagonist is an incredibly arrogant and domineering gang leader from beginning to end. To paraphrase Captain Jia's formula: if you forget what happened before and what happened after, then your rebirth was pointless, right? Also, a single female lead has its own kind of sweetness.
It's a satisfying read, one of the few epic fantasy novels with significant action sequences. Aside from the protagonist's somewhat inconsistent inner monologues, everything else is excellent. It's typical for someone around 40 to calmly ignore their wife's teasing about their lack of virility. 😏
Overall, not bad! But I still have a point. If an ordinary person traveled back in time, wouldn't you want to make money? In the entertainment industry, finance, logistics, retail, and virtually any other industry you can think of, you'd have aspirations, so you wouldn't be saying "I'm out of money" or "I don't have enough money" at crucial moments.
"Speed Gods" transcends the Five Elements and the infighting of the lower classes, yet remains logically sound—a rare example of a director's enjoyable read.
I'll give it five stars after reading chapter 272, it's a must!
The more I read, the more I wanted to continue. Luckily, I didn't give up halfway through, otherwise I would have missed the exciting parts.
I'll review it first, then read it. I read a few chapters and thought I'd give it a rest, but wow, it's already finished! I'll go back and read it again before leaving a follow-up review. I watched a bit of it, and well, the beginning was okay, but it got worse later on, with quite a few flaws. The characters felt too erratic, and the later parts were overly exciting.
A novel with a lofty and unconventional plot; I almost thought it was a typical "Mary Sue" story, but it turned out to be about his son.
A near-perfect novel, it's mediocre at the beginning, interesting in the middle, and reaches its pinnacle in chapters 272-4.
