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?

This is a fairly standard and classic Fourth Calamity novel, but it still has some commendable aspects: 1. First and foremost, and in my opinion, the best part is the characters' thought processes and actions, which I find quite interesting and humorous. This is a rare and valuable quality, as many Fourth Calamity novels these days are incredibly boring. 2. The plot flows very smoothly.
It's great! The male lead is kind of cute... Although he doesn't appear a lot, every scene he does have is wonderful, and his interactions with the player are so heartwarming. At the beginning, there wasn't much description of Elon's appearance; my mind was full of images of a half-elf boy (I'm showing off my cuteness on the national highway!), He's so adorable!
Well, to be honest, I didn't really read this novel seriously until the part about killing the dragon; I just couldn't get into it. It's different from other disaster novels I've read. I just couldn't really immerse myself in it. The protagonist is relatively behind the scenes. Then, five players go to the Adventurers' Guild, get provoked, and then blow up the guild. Hmm.
A decent novel in the "Fourth Calamity" genre (I'm not a saint, so I'm just saying). The obvious flaw is its excessive cruelty. I've read many "Fourth Calamity" novels, and other authors deliberately downplay the massacre of humans or gloss over it with a few chapters, focusing mostly on battles against monsters.
It looks good, and there aren't any major problems. Four stars (apparently, five stars aren't counted). Having seen the other game, 1937, it feels a bit illogical that players haven't yet realized this might be a realistic world 🤔 Overall, it's still good.
This story is very well written, avoiding common pitfalls and offering some fresh perspectives. It delves deeply into the Fourth Scourge players, showcasing their advantages in communication, resurrection, tactics, and ingenious ideas. Unlike many stories, it doesn't impose a bunch of constraints on them, resulting in a slow-paced narrative.
The writing style is natural, without overly ornate sentences, but the emotions are rich and genuine. The subject matter is excellent, it really got me hooked, and the synopsis is very engaging. I recommend watching it; my rating is "super large," so please don't criticize me if you don't like it (just kidding). After reading the latest chapter, I found myself back here.
It's really good! 🤩 The only thing I didn't like was that Potato (the player) and Lily (the NPC) seemed to be developing a romantic relationship. Otherwise, there was nothing I found objectionable. In conclusion, it's definitely good.
Let me talk about the strengths of my personal favorite Fourth Calamity novels and this book. The two most important strengths are the player's autonomy and the realism of the native inhabitants.
It wasn't enough! I stayed up all night watching it. Seeing Lily and Potato teaming up so often made me feel a bit uneasy. What if they actually end up playing a full set of bonds? Also, isn't the map a bit too small—just three small countries and two gods? Will they expand it later?
