I can't feel it right now. Why do people insist on writing plots like this: They come to the protagonist asking for help, but everyone bosses them around as if asking for their help is an honor, a favor they're doing for the protagonist? Then, because the protagonist has a cheat-like ability, they survive and solve the problem.
It's written quite delicately, suitable for reading with a calm mind. I'm just a little puzzled by the author's wide range of styles. His previous short stories were all romance stories for female readers, but this one is a fantasy novel. The reflections on Tao and the principles of things are quite philosophical, and the writing is still delicate. The contrast between his previous and current styles is quite significant.
It's well-written and suitable for slow reading. Although there are some flaws, the story is well-crafted and avoids mindless, overly exciting plots. Both humans and demons have their own way of life. I hope the author updates forty chapters a day; if not, tie yourself to a chair and write! The later parts are better than the earlier ones.
I don't know why this book only has a 5.9 Rating. I think many people might prefer mindless, feel-good novels. People with some experience might find this novel to be "reasonable." Success is never easy. I really like the saying, "Those who do good are not necessarily rewarded, and those who do evil are not necessarily severely punished." People are inherently two-sided.
This book seems to be modeled after "Lan Ke," but I think it has many original and outstanding aspects. It has a different feel from "Lan Ke," and it's definitely much better than "Detailed Account of the Mortal World."
I can only say she's too artsy. It's too craftsman-like, too bookish.
The character descriptions are very detailed.
In a word, it's good... I don't know why the rating is so low.
I've only watched a little bit, but it's really good; the characters are very well-developed. The book is indeed a well-written and quite good book. The early parts are particularly well-written, feeling close to real life and quite authentic. However, the later parts feel a bit like they're deliberately showing off their writing skills, and they become somewhat like a riddle.
I watched it for a while, and it's pretty good. At least it's much better than those piles of stuff on the leaderboard. Why is the rating so low? Was it manipulated by paid reviewers?
