   ① I highly recommend "The Deceiver" [thumbs up][thumbs up][thumbs up], I'm reading it recently, it's very intelligent. The protagonist deliberately loses 13 games in a row in a game set by the gods, then turns the tables, gradually obtains the god's body, replaces the god, and schemes against everything. However, it's still being updated. ② In the early chapters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the protagonist maneuvers between the emperor and the Marquis of Ming, and his identity is not simple either, so it still has that intellectual flavor. ③ Although this book follows the traditional fantasy formula, the early dynasty chapters, where the protagonist is nicknamed "King of Hell" and plays power struggles with the first disciple of the Zhuge family, are still worth reading. The later chapters are a bit weak. ④ This book is very popular recently, it's okay.

    I recommended this novel to many colleagues. It's also the kind of novel I can't stop reading while using the restroom, during spare moments, or even when I'm up until 2 or 3 in the morning. The protagonist is calm and composed, and he can plan things out step by step with everything under control. It's so exciting!

    I'm currently reading this book, and I'm only recommending it to fellow readers after reaching chapter 140. If you enjoy political intrigue and scheming, you should check it out. The author has clearly put a lot of effort into it. Although it's a time-travel story, the initial events take place in the modern era, so it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel or a hindsight analysis. The entire story is concise and engaging, with a fresh plot, cunning characters, and a series of calculated moves leading to victory. It's definitely worth reading. Highly recommended!

    Reader note

    Hello fellow book lovers! I'd like to sincerely recommend two science fiction novellas to you: *Electronic Journey: Breaking Free from the Cocoon* and *Electronic Journey: Rebirth*. Both are hardcore, logic-heavy, and offer a fresh science fiction perspective, telling the story of the interaction between electronic intelligence and human civilization in the microscopic world. The first, *Breaking Free from the Cocoon*, focuses on mind-bending logical analysis and scientific conjecture, emphasizing the raising of questions; the second, *Rebirth*, emphasizes vivid writing and a grand science fiction atmosphere, focusing on solving problems. The science fiction foundations of both stories are closely related to physics, based on reasonable concepts developed from knowledge of electricity, quantum physics, and computer science, offering a novel and unique science fiction perspective. The story is based on the research results of a future physics PhD who discovers the existence of microscopic intelligent civilizations on free electrons as the underlying logic of science fiction; the villain's work and emotional setbacks serve as the trigger for the event; the story revolves around the dual main lines of "villains stealing scientific research results - using microscopic intelligent civilizations to retaliate against their enemies - causing disasters on a global scale" and "protagonists solving the mysteries of various disaster events - developing cooperation with microscopic civilizations based on research results - stopping global disasters", which ultimately establishes a new perspective of science fiction on the path of macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations. The work is carefully conceived, and the plot is as logically rigorous as possible. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures in the development of science and technology and contradictions, ensuring a complete worldview system. The writing style is as fluent as possible, with vivid descriptions, rich character emotional portrayals, and grand science fiction scenes to satisfy different readers' reading experience and appreciation levels. The following views expressed in the novel are worth discussing and reflecting on: (1) The novel puts forward the concept of "future macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations", which is a new thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planet celestial system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and pondering for science fiction fans. (3) The novel proposes that "the 'simultaneity' of human world time may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the perspective of the microscopic world, is a collection of multiple states of events that occur in a linear order over a long time scale, and therefore there is no superposition state." This view is worth considering and discussing. (4) The novel believes that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively generated, but may also be active escape phenomena created by life behavior." This view is worth considering and studying. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel contains a satirical attitude towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and behavioral extremism are all objects of ridicule in the novel. (7) The novel advocates the idea of ​​morality above all else and harmonious coexistence of all things, which is in line with the mainstream worldview of today. (8) The protagonist's spirit of daring to take risks and sacrifice himself for the fate of all mankind demonstrates the noble quality of a free and loving heart, and is a manifestation of the noble character of having the world and the fate of mankind in mind. (9) The deeper meaning of the story is that: previous science fiction novels often discussed the origin of higher intelligence and civilization. Here, it is believed that higher intelligence and civilization do not necessarily originate outside the macrocosm, but are more likely to originate from electrons in the microcosm. For example, it may be the result of the activities of intelligent life groups in micro-electromagnets. After all, everything on Earth is composed of micro-matter, so it is obviously more likely that the current world was constructed by micro-intelligent civilization. In the past, science fiction always imagined life and everything on Earth as being created by macro-unknown civilization. This fixed science fiction perspective should be changed. The code of life may lie in life itself. In addition, the novel also involves the discussion of AI ethics, the discussion of the highest moral principles, and the introduction of knowledge such as base lightning protection measures, laser lightning energy storage, and lightning types and characteristics. The story strives for engaging content, aiming to provide readers with useful knowledge while sparking reflection on future technological advancements, life forms, and ethical considerations. I sincerely recommend this book to fellow readers and humbly welcome their opinions and comments!

    I've listened to and finished the first two books by the same author, both of which are completed works. The author focuses on logic, the male lead is incredibly intelligent, and the supporting characters aren't unintelligent either. The author's "Legend" was a phenomenal success, and "Ten Days" not only continues the mind-bending style but also reaches new heights: "I am Qi Xia, and I'm about to start lying!" 😁😁😁 The third book is a post-apocalyptic story, the female lead is a government official, a great perspective, and she's also highly intelligent, not a zombie. Highly recommended! 😍😍😍 The fourth book is by Zi Jinchen; his name is his trademark! 🥰🥰🥰 The last one is a personal addition—a cultivation novel. If you're bothered by the female lead's personality, please ignore this. 😊😊😊
