"Don't look back, Qiu Shui!" He once thought it was a very hasty farewell. What he thought was hasty was actually a promise made to him with his life. "Come on, friends…let's push it open together."

    The first book was truly powerless, even giving off a feeling of despair, like a lamb's lament, a despair that resonated with the reader. Awakening at eighteen, dying at nineteen, the lamb endured too much; he even lost everything, including himself. The powerlessness and despair in the second book come later. The early humor even made me think it was a comedy, but the later parts were utterly despairing. It's like Old Qiu lured people in to kill them. The third book is by the same author as the second, and it's only slightly more advanced, but unsurprisingly, like "Young Master," the real drama begins later.

    I read quite a bit of the first book and always felt the male lead was like the Shunzhi Emperor from ancient times, which gave me a bit of a headache, even though he changed for the better in the end. The second book was similar; the male lead constantly wanted to keep the female lead by his side and was even addicted to her. The female lead kept running away and getting found, and only now is she finally able to leave him. The beginning was really frustrating for me.

    A traditional cultivation-themed story, the protagonist is ruthless and decisive, willing to use any means to achieve his goals; he is cold-blooded, cunning, and utterly inhuman. No female lead, no system, and not a mindless or dark novel!

    Although this is fan fiction, it seems fine at first, but towards the end you'll feel incredibly powerful yet utterly powerless. Be prepared with tissues if you're reading this. It might feel very comforting at first, but later you'll feel incredibly helpless, like you can't do anything. I've already read this book three times; you can check the reviews. They're all very good. I hope you finish reading it.

    The whole thing is very depressing. The protagonist is still him, but has he actually become better? Or has he simply disappeared? Mr. Ye, is he really a good person? Did he deserve to die? Should those who forgive him not exist? He didn't hurt anyone! He is indeed gentler and more outstanding, but this is due to ruthless methods. That child is really cold and heartless, but it feels strangely reasonable. You're just fragile; you can't die even if you want to. Or perhaps it's just his strong will to survive. Is he wrong? It's really depressing; maybe you should avoid reading it. The writing is good, though.

    Book 1: Reading this will make you realize that mentally ill people are more normal and logical than some others. Book 2: The early part really reflects a lot of reality. I still can't fully understand why some people who genuinely wanted their children to be happy later feel they were too kind when their enemies came along. The protagonist's mother in the second book really should have been stripped of custody [almost crying].

    The first book features an immortal protagonist who has had his flesh and blood ripped out countless times, yet ultimately, the world is still— The second book's most heartbreaking aspect is that some characters are based on real people. In the future, drugs will no longer be rampant, but reinforcements arrive, only to find that those who should be saved have all died.
