This novel is a sandbox with a very high degree of freedom. Chen Xinli has poured his heart and soul into his tens-of-millions-of-words magnum opus, The Vast Realm of Extremes, for three years.
[The Real World]: An exhausted author is locked in a silent tug-of-war with his own work. Every revision he makes is a dimensional strike against another world.
[The Fantasy World]: A group of beings who refuse to be left with an unfinished story launch a tragic, higher-dimensional rebellion against their creator, using their flesh, souls, and even their very existence.
A story about the real world and the world of a novel.
The Vast Realm of Extremes is a transcendent continent that operates as a real world. The Human Emperor, Demon God, Demon Ancestor, and Supreme God, the four most powerful beings standing above all creation, simultaneously sense an incomprehensible and irresistible will of finality coming from beyond their world. This is not destruction, but erasure.
When Chen Xinli presses the delete key and wipes out a village he casually wrote into the story, the village and the memories of every living being in it vanish from time and causality without a trace. After staying up for seven days and seven nights fighting against this, he ends up in the hospital. There, he comes to understand that "imperfection is also a kind of beauty." He returns to his rented apartment and tries to fix his earlier mistakes.
