Online gaming + anime + enter text + scripted instances + I don't even know what I'm supposed to write
Nie Wenshu, seventeen years old, ranked first in his entire district, a walking search engine, the kind of kid every parent wishes they had...
That's his résumé in the real world. In the game world, his résumé consists of one line: died to a wild monster's basic attack as a child, then quit the game for nine years.
Nine years ago, eight-year-old Nie Wenshu entered the game "Realm of the Mystic Universe" for the first time. On the way to the beginner village, a slime rammed him twice, his HP hit zero, and he quit on the spot. Nine years later, he logged back in with a new terminal his mother had given him, determined to reclaim the dignity he'd lost.
Then he spent most of the day just trying to leave the beginner village.
From the start, he had a short sword, cloth clothes with one muddy trouser leg, and a curse that made him a black hole at gaming. No guides, no cheats, no golden finger from a System. All he had was a little observational skill, a quick tongue, and a group of friends willing to make fools of themselves alongside him.
Our protagonist, Nie Wenshu, the man who was once killed by a slime, is taking the dumbest route possible: climbing up one step at a time from minus one.
Starting from zero? No. Starting from minus one.
Because nine years ago, he already fell into the hole.
After chasing all the chapters currently updated, I came here to express my appreciation! What impresses me most about this book is that it breaks away from the common trap of "starting with cheats and crushing wild monsters with one click" that is so common in online game literature, and truly does what the title says - start from minus one. The protagonist Nie Wenshu is a top academic master in reality, but in "Xuanyu Realm", he is a "game black hole" that left a shadow in his childhood. He was killed by a slime at the age of eight, leaving a psychological shadow. After quitting the game for nine years, he logged back in. There is no strategy, no plug-ins, only a commoner, a short sword, and the psychological baggage left by the past defeat. Others started from scratch, while he shouldered the burden of past failures and climbed back up from the quagmire of negative numbers. This contrast was particularly vivid. The author understands the charm of the land reclamation stream very well: instead of relying on the natural system to forcibly provide resources, all Nie Wenshu's breakthroughs come from careful observation, calm thinking, and communication and collaboration with others. His journey out of Novice Village did not go all the way. It was clumsy, slow, and full of trial and error. The reality of this difficult exploration directly filled the atmosphere of pioneering. The character creation is also very eye-catching, not only the protagonist, but also the appearance of companions such as Ye Zijin. There is no tool-like facial expression. It feels natural for friends to accompany each other and explore the new world together. There is no forced intelligence, and the team interaction is warm and interesting. It can be seen that the author has carefully polished the setting of the virtual world of "Xuanyujie". The rules and environmental details of the game world are laid out little by little, and the foreshadowing is restrained. The setting will not be thrust onto the readers at once. The world will be unveiled bit by bit from the perspective of the protagonist, giving a strong sense of immersion in reading. The new book has just started, with not many chapters, but the writing is clean and smooth, the rhythm is relaxed and moderate, and there is no unnecessary plot filling. You can feel the author's sincerity in polishing the story seriously. Watching Nie Wenshu slowly overcome the psychological shadow of being defeated by the slime, gradually establishing a foothold in the Xuanyu world, and witnessing him carrying the past and moving forward steadily. This kind of story does not rely on cheating, but only uses his brain and partners to explore the unknown world. It is really attractive. Thank you to the author for insisting on updating and working hard on coding! I look forward to exploring more dungeons in the future. I look forward to Nie Wenshu and his companions continuing to explore the Xuanyu world. I will always stay tuned for updates!
A very nice book, I'm still unsatisfied after reading it!
