Restart: The Sound of the Tide: Born to Face Death

An exceptionally good sadomasochistic novel. In my heart, it's a perfect Liu Sang rebirth story, a full five stars! From Liu Sang's rebirth at the beginning, his childhood training in skills, his travels across the country to collect medicinal herbs for Wu Xie's illness, to his natural participation in the operation and reunion with Wu Xie after their reunion, to the adventures in between, going…

Four years ago, I was following several long, melancholic novels on Lofter, but they all stopped updating. I never expected to find such a well-written, non-out-of-character (OOC) melancholic story on Tomato Literature. It's really well-written, no wonder it's a work of self-sacrifice... I really enjoyed it, thank you...

The author's writing is so smooth, the characters are all in character, and the plot fits perfectly. At first, I thought it was a sweet story, although I vaguely sensed the ending when I flipped through the table of contents. But the author's writing in the early chapters had a very peaceful and happy feel, so I didn't really realize what was going on until the last few chapters.

I'm not saying this book deserves a 6:8 rating, 8:6 would be more accurate. It's truly a good book that's been completely overshadowed by its low rating. What struck me as slightly off was the part where Liu Sang's ancestor materialized at the end and paired up with Xiao Ge as a couple. It just felt a bit jarring, like they were trying to pair everyone up.

I finished reading it in one night. The first two-thirds were amazing, and I even felt that the first volume could be read as the original work without any sense of incongruity. Therefore, I give it five stars. The following are just my personal opinions; the later pairing of the main characters made me a little uncomfortable.

This is so good! The beginning, with Sang Sang truly embracing life and death, willing to sacrifice his own to protect others, made me want to cry. Then the later parts with Sang Sang and Wu Xie are so sweet! Wu Xie is such a sweetheart! 🤭🤭 A 6.8 Rating is completely undeserving of this book's value; it should be the other way around!

Great writing! The author's update frequency is super consistent! Two chapters a day is especially good! Keep it up! 😘 I'll continue to watch three 30-second ads to support you, hahaha (although I don't know how much you'll receive 🤦).

This is truly a wonderfully depressing and edgy novel!! A real gem!! Highly recommended!! Although this book is about evil and death, it actually describes everyone, and everyone is lively and cheerful, which is really great!

Teacher, this is the absolute best book I've ever read! Your writing is truly superb; it's the best book I've ever read out of all the others. Author, I actually have a small request: could you please finish the whole thing? It's okay if you don't, just updating occasionally is fine! If you really can't, then please update about once a week! Such a wonderful author, I'm following!

It's really good. The story heals the wounds left by the original work; the author must be a very gentle person. It's just that so few people are reading it, and there aren't any comments to read. I really want to see everyone's feedback on some of the funny or heartwarming scenes. The writing is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, the events are tightly paced, it's not filler, and it's not boring at all; it's very interesting.
