The System That Wants to Retire and Her Neurotic Host

"The System Wants to Retire and Its Neural Host" breaks out of the assembly-line style of fast-paced novels and the solid setting of "system tool man, host counterattack", and focuses the narrative on the symbiotic relationship between two lonely beings. The concept and characterization are particularly moving. The core character design is extremely contrasting: since the birth of the system, it has been endlessly traveling through the planes to perform tasks, and long-term repetitive work has caused strong burnout. Its only obsession is to complete the target, apply for retirement, completely disconnect all host bindings, and return to a state of peace and tranquility; while the host is naturally sensitive to nerves, easily perceives pain, and falls into self-inflicted internal friction. It always lacks stable support in its long life and is used to digesting all negative emotions alone. The binding between the two has been full of contradictions from the beginning: the system is perfunctory in its tasks and wants to be unbound, while the host is fragile and sensitive and often needs emotional comfort. However, the setting of consciousness interconnection allows the data flow to face all the host's secret pain, and the cold logic program of the system is forced to learn empathy, comfort, and protection; the host also sees through the cold code, the unique patience and preference hidden under the shell of "wanting to retire". The most touching core of the story is the two-way change and redemption. The system originally believed in the rule of "separate immediately after the mission is over", but it actively violated the rules again and again, postponed the retirement period indefinitely, and was willing to be trapped in a bound relationship; the host originally closed himself off and was afraid of bonds, but because of the system's constant companionship, he slowly accepted his own sensitivity and gained the confidence to face the world head-on. The author does not deliberately create fierce conflicts or brainless counterattacks, but uses a large number of delicate conscious interactions to depict emotions: the data flow entangles the host's trembling nerves, the system quietly modifies the difficulty of the task to reduce the host's pain, the host subconsciously confides its concerns to the system... Tiny daily routines pile up thick bonds, and it is clearly written: Cold programs can also breed obsession, and fragile souls can also heal the burnout of code.

It's the first time I've seen a system that's forced to work. What's the difference between me and a bully like me who's forced to work? 🤭 It's also the first time I've read an article like this. I find it quite interesting. I'm looking forward to the follow-up updates.

The story is wonderful, the plot is great, I like it very much

It's been a long time since I've encountered such a comfortable article, like the breeze in a spring afternoon, neither slow nor slow, but people can't help but reminisce about it over and over again. It's really beautiful, I recommend it! The author has a great brain and his writing style is superb!!!

Recommended for those who love reading novels. It's so good. I give it five stars.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful book. It's worth revisiting again and again.
