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?

Crossover Stories With a Powerful Protagonist Who Has the Mindset and Presence of a True Strongman
So many crossover novels have protagonists who lack the mindset of a strong person and can't act or speak normally. They always come across as obnoxious: either they're the sarcastic sidekick, act like idiots, go full chuunibyou, or behave like useless good-for-nothings. I really don't like that.

To some people in the comments section: Are you guys talking about Thunder here? This is a male-oriented novel. Also, isn't it normal for male-oriented novels to have harems? Giving a bad review just because it's not my favorite genre? Then I'd have to give bad reviews to dual-male protagonist novels with Nan Tong involved? That's too abstract 😅 Guess the three-character red app on the phone in a second
148 chapters, finished reading, too few. There are some minor flaws, like the setting that the older sister isn't related by blood, which makes many people think she's the female lead, but that's really unnecessary. Some comments, seeing a lot of female characters, immediately label her as a multiple female lead and give her a bad review, I don't understand that 🙂, so far I haven't seen any ambiguous relationships. If there were, I might have forgotten. Also, too few chapters 😏😏😏.
I've read the latest chapter. Don't believe the comments saying it's a harem and not good. Actually, this book is quite good and not a harem. The protagonist is mostly leveling up right now, so he doesn't have time for romance. The most common female characters are the player and his sister, and there's nothing wrong with them.
It was so good, I regret staying up two hours last night to finish it! I'm so desperate for something to read! Author, please don't write a story with multiple female leads! If you can't do it without a female lead, then at most it should be a single female lead, I'm crying! Please, please don't make it a harem story! 😭😭😭😭
A promising new book, worthy of five stars. First, let's talk about the strengths. I haven't read many novels in the "Four Calamities" genre, so this was a fresh take, but this novel surprised me. First, the barrier between NPCs and players isn't very clear; terms like "favorability" and "level" are spoken by NPCs, giving a feeling of breaking down the dimensional barrier.
It's much better than some of the top-ranked books; it has both exciting and humorous moments. I haven't seen any major flaws yet, and it's already extremely good for an author. The story is over; it started strong but ended weakly. A secret realm took from chapter 384 to chapter 435 to just finish, with almost no important plot in between, and many battles can be completely ignored.
Aside from the clichéd beginning with recruiting female subordinates, which slightly weakens the character's combat power, the rest of the book is quite good. The interaction with the player is particularly good, and I'm really looking forward to the story's development. The current direction seems to favor a single female lead; if not, then at least three female leads.
The book is quite good, with very few flaws. At least from the 300 chapters I've read so far, it's very good. However, I feel the author is getting a bit too confident, and the style has declined somewhat. I hope the author will pay more attention to the writing quality. I think this has the potential to become a very promising work, and I look forward to higher quality updates in the future!
It's been a long time since a novel has kept me reading for so long. It's practically flawless; even if I don't read it for two days, I'll come back to it. Who understands that feeling of not wanting to read a novel again after a two-day break? Oh, there's one flaw: the male lead's initial skill, Flow State, is a bit too overpowered. What does it mean to have bullet time in real life?
