I Want Player-as-Fourth-Disaster Stories, Not Black-Slave Stories About Exploiting Players
So many novels tagged as 'fourth disaster' are actually infrastructure-building stories where the players are the author's protagonist's slaves. One line about how 'realistic and lifelike' it is, and the players become completely devoted. They're playing a game, so why are they still hauling bricks and doing manual labor to build houses and roads for someone else in the game?

It's so good! I spent two hours searching for a book and couldn't find one I liked, but I found it in just 54 minutes! I only clicked on it because of the description, even though the cover wasn't great. I didn't expect it to be this good. I hope the author doesn't stop updating! I want tons of novels like this! It seems like it's written by an experienced author.
The beginning is a mess, which is why not many people read this book! We readers are focused on the protagonist, but what's the point of him? He's just a spectator, lacking power and magic. Most people won't even see chapter 50; there are no exciting moments, it's incredibly depressing.
The fourth catastrophe section is quite well-written, with a complete set of settings. The author seems to have a particular fondness for death, especially meaningless deaths. If the first death is considered a delaying tactic, the second is practically suicide. Aside from that, it's almost entirely good.
The Fourth Calamity is meant to be a comedy, so it can use jokes, but they need to be used appropriately! 🤦🤦🤦 I really can't stand it when jokes are used about the main character's name. Every time I see someone call him Lord Hakimi, it makes me uncomfortable; it just feels so awkward. I quite like the world-building, though. First, Layton's death made me feel the plot was pointless.
The story is quite good. The lord is building infrastructure with the Fourth Scourge, and the plot should be quite long. We've only reached the Orc race so far. The logic is very good, and the author has written everything in great detail. It's clear that the story has been polished for a long time. The main focus is on player combat. (˵¯͒¯͒˵)
I've read over 680 chapters so far without skipping any. The content and title are very fitting, truly fitting. The players are driving the plot, and so far it's almost entirely them. The lord seems like a peripheral character; I'm not even sure if he's the main character. His screen time is only slightly more extensive in the beginning; later it's almost entirely from the player's perspective.
The plot flows smoothly, unlike what you'd expect from a new author. The story's progression from orc attacks to undead attacks is clear, logically consistent, and shows signs of polishing. The only drawback is the somewhat weak dialogue in the early parts; some characters' lines can be a little awkward or even offensive. However, these minor flaws don't detract from the overall quality, making it a worthwhile read.
This is a time-travel novel with a system, featuring a wildly imaginative and unconventional plot, yet the storyline remains coherent and the narrative is incredibly captivating. Although I don't play many games, I was still drawn in. It's definitely not a mindless, feel-good story and is well worth reading.
The premise is good, and the world-building seems vast. However, the fact that all the local NPCs who went out with the player died, leaving only one survivor, was a bit baffling. Even Fu Sheng himself was terrified the first time he went out, knowing he only had one life left. Why let those NPCs go out in the first place, knowing the player was on a quest?
The plot flows smoothly, but there are some minor issues. The overall tone in the early stages is too heavy, with players constantly fighting monsters outside their designated areas, making the battles very difficult and lacking in satisfying moments. However, the world-building is decent, and the author's frequent updates are a plus. Personally, I hope the later stages will be more enjoyable, allowing players to fully utilize the advantages of the Fourth Calamity.
