The initial setup was excellent, but the plot faltered after the character emerged from seclusion, with too much personal emotional investment and illogical developments, which was a shame. Hopefully, the later episodes will have a tighter plot, more decisive action, and less philosophical analysis. 👍👍👍👍
The world-building currently appears to be a clash between two worlds (a world without magic and an unknown one), a spiritual energy revival story. The protagonist, driven by anger by some societal ills, escapes into the mountains and becomes one of the first to experience the world's dramatic changes.
I haven't listened this attentively in a long time. The plot is fast-paced and the rhythm is strong. What I like most is the protagonist's courage. Orphaned and facing imminent death, he picks up a machete and kills three thugs monitoring him, leaving behind the blood-stained words "No way out to hell."
Having read the previous book, it's as captivating as ever. Having read Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Ruian novels since my teens, and various other novels for over thirty years, I've found that the core themes are all love, hate, ambition, and the classic tale of showing off and getting humiliated.
Why such a low rating? I only started reviewing after reading over 300 pages. I've been a bookworm for over 10 years, and nowadays very few online novels can hold my attention. This infinite flow novel is quite captivating. The slight thriller element is quite nice; other high-fear/horror novels don't hold my attention.
It is indeed very good, but I still don't recommend it for teenagers whose values are not yet fully formed. The low rating stems from the fact that the author truly has no bottom line. Rather than saying the author hates society, it's more accurate to say they hate not being part of the exploiting class. If they were in that position, they wouldn't have the survival skills of ordinary animals.
Wow, this is amazing! Holy crap, forgive my lack of cultural knowledge, but this book truly gave me a mental orgasm. I thought it was some mindless, feel-good novel in the Tomato style, but as I read on, the writing was incredibly smooth, the story was top-notch, and it was a real surprise. You can't believe I'm lying!
I don't know why this book has such a low rating. Personally, I think it's definitely worth more than a 6. Something. As for the plot, while it's not particularly dramatic, it's smooth and fluid. Regarding character development, I didn't see a single stereotypical character in chapters 1-3.
The plot is quite reasonable. It's just that the narration depicting inner monologues could be a bit less frequent and takes up too much space. Also, won't writing about the imperial court like this get me locked up in a dark room? 🧐 [Requesting more updates][Requesting more updates]
I've read the first 20 or so chapters so far, and I find them excellent—very intellectually stimulating and insightful. I'll continue reading later. The first 80 chapters are quite good, set in the wild. But then, in the modern city, he starts pretending to be weak while actually being strong, going around looking for fights. And he doesn't show any of his magical abilities; instead, he fights his opponents with his bare hands.
