Chu Qing, a migrant worker in the Magic City, happened upon a book called The Wish Notebook. At first, he only wanted to use it to make money. Then, using the [Infinite Monkey Theorem], he discovered how The Wish Notebook really worked and began to gradually become an existence that knew almost everything!
As he used the notebook to attain immortality, Earth's technological level began to advance rapidly under his influence. Eventually, humanity began venturing into the stars, setting out on the path to becoming the highest-level civilization in the universe...
The rules for using The Wish Notebook are as follows:
1. Any wish written in the notebook that has a chance of coming true within 24 hours will inevitably come true.
2. Only one wish may be written every 24 hours.
3. A wish that has already been written cannot be rescinded.
4. When a wish comes true, its text turns red. If it doesn't come true, the text turns white after 24 hours.
5. The text of two wishes cannot appear on the same line.
6. Whoever picks up an ownerless Wish Notebook automatically becomes its owner. If the owner dies, ownership of the notebook is reset.
7. Only the owner of The Wish Notebook can use it.
8. Only the owner of The Wish Notebook can see its rules and the text written inside it.
9. The Wish Notebook cannot be destroyed by any means.
10. Wishes concerning The Wish Notebook itself cannot come true.
It's so good! It doesn't involve high-level martial arts, cultivation, or Western fantasy. It uses modern science to explain things, and those claims about extending lifespan really confused me. I searched online but couldn't find them ╮(╯_╰)╭🥲. They're really good at making things up.
It's very good, novel, and the logic is sound. The protagonist is cautious, has a good personality, is decisive, and doesn't waver. The world-building is grand, and I'm really looking forward to the next part of the story.
I read it in one go. It's also the first time I've ever spent money to give a gift since I started reading online novels. I was really surprised. My reasoning: Just as one's perspective determines their potential, a book's worldview determines its overall scope. I believe this book is a hard science fiction novel with a remarkably grand worldview.
I've finished reading it, and I would recommend it. The imagination and setting are very engaging, making it a good read. The first half of the first 50 chapters borrows ideas from *The Three-Body Problem*, while the second half borrows from *This Game Is Too Real*, where the game world drives the story. However, the author still manages to write their own original ideas and concepts.
This is really beautiful, it deserves five stars, a 100% recommendation! The main issue is that 99% of books on the theme of making wishes are closer to the worldviews of Swallowing the Stars or cultivation novels. This book is a very rare combination of the wish-making theme and a pure science fiction worldview, and the science fiction worldview is more realistic and hardcore.
It's not bad. Perhaps due to censorship, the official's initiative was deliberately downplayed. It could have been more "close to the line." Some of the ideas and methods presented in the notes are rather obscure, which is understandable given the AI's limitations. However, adding more relatable metaphors could have helped.
I'm currently about 60-70% through, and while there are some minor flaws, the overall quality is good. The protagonist has a certain level of intelligence and logical thinking, gradually testing the limits of the wishing notebook's capabilities and exploring the existence of consequences and causality. However, the virtual reality game part feels like a side story, jumping around in circles.
I was pleasantly surprised; I really enjoyed the blend of a fast-paced, action-packed novel template with fantastical sci-fi elements. 🤩 It reminded me of the informational settings in "Super Mechanic." Some might find the technical explanations tedious, but I believe they are precisely what makes the sci-fi feel so realistic. I think the section on virtual games went a bit too long and strayed slightly off-topic. Besides, the emergence of the Venusian civilization was completely useless.
The idea of creating something like Rhys's Infinite Monkey Typewriter with even the lowest probability was great, but then I realized I didn't know how to use the function at all. I could just wish for a dialogue within a day to provide an answer, but I only managed to complete one task each day.
At least logically, there are no obvious flaws, and no contrived or nonsensical plot points (we finally managed to... We were... Not in control of our own lives...). So far, I haven't given up on watching it. I'll see what happens later... Author, please update soon! [Sparrow's Masterpiece] I hope you finish it so I'll remember to come back.
