    Reader note

    Combining the Classic of Mountains and Seas with an urban setting and suspense, the theme and concept are good. The writing is smooth, the story is intricately linked, full of twists and turns, and the pacing is excellent, creating a sense of suspense, tension, and excitement. It constructs a realistic yet unique urban world, and it does indeed have a sense of the supernatural. The novel's weaknesses include: the main plot is not clear enough, it's somewhat idealistic and wishful thinking, the story is a bit disorganized, there are some repetitive and formulaic elements, it's rather dry and bland, and it's slow-paced, especially in the early stages, which can easily discourage readers. In summary: This novel showcases the Classic of Mountains and Seas theme with its theme and style, and the story is quite good. However, this genre is selective in its readership, and opinions are somewhat polarized. It's not very beginner-friendly, but it's still worth reading.
