A Huge Collection of Fourth Calamity Stories! Looking for Good Ones About Players Invading!
I read all kinds of novels, and lately I've really been into fourth natural disaster stories, especially ones centered on players. But the only one I thought was any good was My Players Have Gone on a Killing Spree, by I'm the Chosen One. The others have been pretty average. Please recommend something new! Don't hold back your favorites. Bring out the books you've been saving for a rainy day!

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?
Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!

I've read over 200 chapters so far. I haven't read that many wasteland novels, but in my opinion, this one is quite good. It lacks the scheming and infighting typical of gamers, giving it a beautiful and carefree feel. It's also quite funny, beautiful without being mindless. This book definitely made me laugh and surprised me! 👍 I finally found a good book!
It's really enjoyable. So far, I don't think there are any major flaws; the setting is good, and the interaction between the administrators and players is very interesting. I even marked one instance where a player named Chu was talking to him, and he told the player to get lost. So funny. I watched it all in one go, caught up with the series, and even posted it on my WeChat Moments.
It's a good novel. The theme is old, but the writing is quite good so far. If it maintains this pace, it could easily get over 9 points. Of course, if it falls apart later, then disregard what I said 🤦. Currently, it lacks exposure; there are only two comments so far. More promotion could make it popular.
Yes, it's a very good fourth calamity novel. The plot is fast-paced and flows smoothly. I just wonder if the later plot will involve Old Su leading players to conquer the universe, which only increases my anticipation.
It's alright, but slightly off-putting for me: 1. There are too few players, especially female players. 2. The first female NPC was a bit off-putting for me; why add her own name to her dialogue? Couldn't she just use "I" directly? 3. The protagonist is a high-dimensional laborer, so far it's fine, but I don't know if it will be restricted later 🤔 I quite like ensemble stories, but I feel the author can't handle too many characters. Good luck!
It's a good read. The perspective is primarily from the player's point of view, but the protagonist isn't completely reduced to a tool (the tsundere administrator is delicious 🥰). I've read up to chapter 158, and it's not bad. The players have activities that aren't vulgar. Are they really treating the prisoners like slaves without paying them? The background is grand. I hope the author doesn't ruin the ending. Hang in there! It's Lao Chu, I misremembered.
I read it in one go! It's great, no flaws, a classic Fourth Calamity. The players get along well, without any strange conflicts. It's heartwarming to read, and the jokes are funny and natural. Keep up the good work, author!
Overall, this book doesn't have any particularly bad points and reads quite smoothly. The only thing to mention is that it's packed with jokes and references; there are a lot of them, all kinds of them.
It's alright. The advantages of the wasteland setting in *The Fourth Calamity* are: wasteland technology, smooth writing, and no noticeable AI elements. The setting and plot are also good; I'm looking forward to some new maps. The administrator is a robot developing the planet.
This one's pretty good, unlike the usual stories where someone from Earth summons the Fourth Calamity. It features a character devoid of emotion. And the players, so far, haven't shown any problems; on the contrary, they're quite lively, and there haven't been any restrictions imposed on them. The only downside is the update speed.
