Still can't find anything to read. I'm not picky and have no trigger topics. But I keep dropping books halfway through, so I need something with an engaging ending that keeps me reading to the end. Any genre is fine: sweet romance, angst, sci-fi, transmigration, beast worlds, cultivation, rebirth, secret identities, and so on.

After reading it, I was deeply disturbed by the thought-provoking subject matter, which is also very novel, arguably at the forefront of technological development. As a high school student, I had previously encountered the topic of cloning in my biology textbook, albeit briefly. It mentioned the technological capability but stated that it was illegal and ethically unacceptable.
The story is well-written; it feels like it could happen in the future, given the increasing sophistication of AI. However, no one in this story is innocent, especially the female lead. She's incredibly greedy, driven by ambition and vanity.
Absolutely fantastic! I used to really like Shui Ma, but I'd mostly read the 188 series. This book truly gave me a whole new perspective on Shui Ma.
It was great, especially the ending, it was so clever. The clone really did replace the original, and it was actually quite satisfying.
This novel is so good, with such a tight plot, why isn't there any review? I finished it in half a day, and I'm still very excited about it.
This was the first novel by Shui Da (a popular author) without a romantic pairing that I read. The whole story was chilling and made me realize how terrifying human nature can be. The female lead, Zhang Yang, is truly insane; I find her behavior utterly incomprehensible. Ke Yu in the story did absolutely nothing wrong, yet his ending was tragic—it's so pitiful for a clone.
A great work, I watched it all night. In fact, whether it is the original human or a clone, after socialization training, they cannot escape the "human" nature that exists in their genes. Selfishness, greed, hypocrisy, love, kindness, compassion, etc. There is no extreme good or evil, nor are there people or things that are simply black and white.
In my personal opinion, what kills idols is that huge and corrupt industry. Outsiders only see the terrifying rules within the industry, which can cause a person to lose basic morality, let alone any sense of quality or cultural refinement, showcasing the worst of human nature.
This would be perfect for a movie!!! It's so ironic! So dark!
I stayed up all night to finish reading it yesterday. I was shocked when I saw the ending where the author said that he wasn't actually a fan of celebrities. The inner monologues in the whole story were very delicate and rich. As an outsider, I can understand that those exaggerated fans are in this state.
