Ocean Survival: As a Blocky Man, I Never Play by the Rules

I finished reading it. I initially agreed with another book review, but 😄 First, the regions are different; second, the ocean depths are different; and third, last time I went to the ocean depths, it was 200 meters deep, and I only managed to breathe underwater using the "Gate Breathing" technique. Think about it, there's no room for "Gate Breathing" in those 200 squares.

Everything was seamlessly integrated: the Raft map and core gameplay, the Subnautica monster encyclopedia, and the protagonist's innate Minecraft abilities. Very interesting.

This novel is quite well-written, but the protagonist's friend has an exceptionally strong copying ability. He can copy even the most difficult materials with 100% accuracy—meaning he can copy them 1:1, and even in bulk. It's incredibly powerful, even stronger than the protagonist. After all, he can copy almost anything.

I think the plot is pretty good, and I also quite like his skill. Isn't there a female boss from the company with the protagonist? Why doesn't that person know that the protagonist plays Minecraft after get off work? It feels a bit strangely designed. Or maybe it's odd that we met someone from our hometown on that ocean and felt a sense of belonging. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention; perhaps it was mentioned somewhere. But I didn't notice it when I was listening to the audiobook.

🤦I can't hold it in, I've basically played all the games that inspired the author 😂

+1. Writing style and structure. The plot is tight, and the emotions and human nature are well portrayed. +1 Normal ending. A reasonable ending, without any evasions. +1 The story is innovative. And it has the Minecraft elements I love. +1 +1

It's quite interesting; the whole nation goes to sea to survive (a juxtaposition of two famous games). The protagonist awakens a talent from Minecraft, but not exactly the same as in Minecraft—it's weakened, but the impact is minor. Minecraft creatures only appear around the protagonist. There's no harem, no female lead, just black slaves used as tools for exploitation.

The content is really good, I just want the author to revive Jia Shangren and make him a teammate of the main character 💕

From a story perspective, the Minecraft + Subnautica setting is actually fine. Following the outline and utilizing Minecraft's abilities, the narrative could have been easily written smoothly. Unfortunately, the world-traveling aspect is too far-fetched, and the official descriptions reveal the writer's shortcomings.

It's not bad, watchable and doesn't have any major flaws.
