Fantasy and Xianxia Brainstorms
I'd like to read stories about traveling between two worlds or a high-martial-arts main world, such as a demonic cultivator transmigrating to a post-apocalyptic world. Stories about Taoist priests hunting demons are also fine. No harems, please, and definitely no sleeping with every woman they meet! Ideally, the story should be fast-paced, with decisive action and plenty of killing.

This isn't a mindless wish-fulfillment story. The bad news is, it borrows elements from other works; the good news is, it borrows from all sorts of other works. It refers to the game world, where the game and reality are very well integrated. However, I'm begging the author to give Xu Yining a lot of power-ups; I'm eagerly awaiting his leveling up. It's witty and humorous; I laughed until my stomach hurt.
At first glance, it seemed like a mindless story, but the setting was actually quite well-developed. They should strengthen the protagonist; otherwise, in a week, the player and the protagonist will feel like they're on completely different tracks. No comparison, no harm.
I've read every single negative review. Without spoiling anything, I'll summarize the parts of this book that might make you dissatisfied or cause controversy, so as not to waste your precious time. 1. The protagonist is not invincible or perfect; he is a character who grows and develops. In the early stages, he focuses on exploring the world's lore, so he doesn't become an unstoppable force.
Very good, with a tight structure. I initially thought it was a transmigration system novel, but it turned out to be a setup from the very beginning. The original world and all the subsequent worlds were created using code. Cultivation wasn't about cultivating spiritual energy, but about cultivating code.
The protagonist, Xu Yining, starts with his system running away, leaving him with only a useless talent for copying food. As a result, the cultivation world is invaded by the game, and he is forced to become an NPC. He originally wanted to just relax and not do anything, but he found that the spiritual fruits, pills, and even skills that players handed over were all considered "food," and he…
The author cleverly blends popular elements like "the Fourth Calamity" and "the arrival of players," yet manages to create something fresh. The world-building is solid, but the details could be polished, otherwise it's easy to get criticized. The two cultivation systems (native and player) would be better clarified; I'm not sure if I missed something, but it seems to be capped at two levels per day. And the biggest problem is that it's not long enough… Well, author, keep it up!
I only remembered to comment after reading chapter 262. I have to say, the "brain in a vat" concept and the idea that the protagonist in the real world is a server relay station are amazing. It's incredible to see such a brilliant work in Tomato Novels. The author's imagination is boundless, and the concept is unique. It's eye-opening and thought-provoking, truly a masterpiece! 😄😄😄
I've read almost 100 chapters so far. It's not the kind of mindless wish-fulfillment novel. I feel like the protagonist has a great time with the players, but not so much with the natives. But it has foreshadowing and a plot, no Mary Sue tropes or murder, so it's relatively normal, which is good. 🍉🍉🍉
It's so good! I'm really enjoying it, watching the progress repeatedly, afraid it will end soon. There's no vulgar or lewd dialogue, and the main character isn't arrogant. It's really good! Author, please keep writing! I'll definitely be following along.
I think it's alright. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. Some people like this style, right? Tomato has written a lot of wish-fulfillment stories, and at least this one is decent. It wasn't too pathetic, nor too satisfying; it just portrayed an ordinary person. What I liked most was the absence of inexplicable romantic subplots.
