    Share your thoughts @: 1. The author's data analysis is rigorous, and the protagonist has a great personality (no obvious flaws). The differences between level one and level two are well done, with clear functional differences between each level, and each level is surprising. I'm really looking forward to the performance of level four, five, and even higher levels. There's no romance, no typical male-oriented novel trope of female supporting characters getting their faces slapped or being mocked. The earlier scene where the female supporting character showed goodwill seemed like a classic example of a female supporting character giving away equipment, but it turned out to be a normal interaction. None of the female characters who have appeared so far have any ambiguous feelings. The main thing is that the author really enjoyed compiling the data. I love this kind of well-reasoned writing, and the descriptions of each item are particularly darkly humorous, which is also part of the novel's flavor. 2. I haven't read a novel this comfortable in a long time. This is exactly the feeling I wanted. There's teamwork and mutual help, but it's not childish. The author's writing is also good. Other novels I read are either full of angst or the protagonist is randomly picking up women everywhere. I've been sick of reading them for the past year. I hope the author continues to improve. 3. This novel is a very attractive work. It cleverly blends reality and fantasy, immersing the reader in a rich plot. The author excels in character development and emotional description, allowing readers to deeply experience the protagonist's inner world. Furthermore, the novel's tight structure and fluent writing make it a pleasure to read in one sitting, leaving a lasting impression. 4. It avoids the typical fighting and bloodshed of cultivation novels, and the protagonist, accompanied only by his ox, experiences most of the people he encounters throughout his long life. The content is understated, calm, and humorous. However, if you're looking for something different, you might also find a touch of loneliness within the story—years passing like the moon, months like the sun, with only his black ox by his side… perhaps the downside of longevity. The content is lighthearted, without many treacherous villains or narrow-minded individuals. There aren't many grudges and power struggles within the sect either. It focuses more on the protagonist's journey to immortality, from an orphan in a village to a disciple of a celestial sect. Everything has changed drastically over time, yet the protagonist and Black Bull remain as young as they were in their twenties. This is probably the best science fiction novel I've read online. Although, as a ten-year veteran reader, I found many flaws, the author clearly put in a lot of effort. From the technical jargon and overcoming difficult points to the illustrations used to enhance the reader's imagination, everything is meticulously crafted. Of course, this novel can't compare to Liu Cixin's *The Three-Body Problem*, but to be honest, *The Three-Body Problem* isn't suitable for those who frequently read light novels, because even a slight oversight can lead to misunderstanding, and even without oversights, understanding isn't guaranteed. I recommend... For those who enjoy lighthearted science fiction and crave a thrilling read, this is definitely the top choice. It's easy to understand, relatively realistic, and the protagonist's "cheat code" isn't overpowered. A protagonist who's immediately given technology and gadgets wouldn't be interesting; this one provides hints and explanations, explaining the technological explosion before the apocalypse and showcasing humanity's struggle. Compared to the oppressive atmosphere of *The Three-Body Problem*, this novel offers hope and purpose. It also fits the "wish-fulfillment" genre, as humanity is largely saved, and the early scenes of humiliating defeats by Western powers are excellent. This is perfect for those who enjoy such stories. This is my first time writing such a long review, because it's truly well-written. As I said before, the flaws don't detract from its overall quality; it's definitely worth reading.

    This is a traditional novel without a systematic plot, but the writing is excellent, reminiscent of the classic tale of "The Great Dao Contest." It completely avoids the common clichés and mindless plot devices found in other books. It's a rebirth story featuring a high-IQ protagonist with superb writing. The plot is unlike any other formulaic novel; the protagonist's intelligence is consistently high, his thinking is clear, and his logic is coherent. It's a true male-oriented novel, requiring you to use your brain to fully engage. The protagonist is self-serving! He truly utilizes future events to plan from the beginning, unlike other mindless novels where the protagonist is reborn and constantly provokes others. This novel completely avoids such nonsensical plot points. The protagonist's intelligence is exceptional; although he plans his future path based on his past life's memories, his actions are skillful and sophisticated, always demonstrating caution and high wisdom. Furthermore, there are no mindless plot points; the logic is rigorous. The protagonist is an extremely self-interested individual—this is not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good novel, look elsewhere! If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. Be mindful while reading and don't skip ahead; every word or sentence might be a key element related to later plot developments. Also, the author's hidden clues will be explained later, perhaps in one, two, or even many chapters. From what I've read so far, there are practically no major problems, so you can read it with confidence. One more thing: don't read this without thinking, because some of the exciting moments are on the surface, while others are not. If you don't understand them, don't waste your time.

I took notes while reading it. It mainly focuses on urban life but covers a wide range of knowledge, making it a masterpiece! The second one is also a new novel by the same author, and it's also great. I can wait until it's fully read before reading it.
