   Every chapter you're reading now (including the foreshadowing and prologue) has its purpose, containing crucial foreshadowing that runs throughout the entire story. As someone working in the film and television industry and having directed short dramas, I understand the importance of the "golden three chapters." It's not that I can't write a satisfying opening climax, it's just that I'm tired of it. I genuinely want to write a novel that can withstand scrutiny. There will definitely be exciting moments, but I don't want to write mindless stuff. In today's world of ubiquitous short videos and increasingly fragmented information, how many novels can truly ascend to legendary status, and how many authors can endure the loneliness of writing a million words? Many authors write 100,000 words and then abandon the book if the data isn't good (no offense intended, many are simply doing it for money). It's just a pity that so many characters end up without a conclusion… Fantasy.

   Both books are good, but personally, I prefer the first one (no offense intended). The protagonist of the first book is an old dog from a small family who, nearing the end of his lifespan and unwilling to waste the family's good karma, leaves home to await death. He accidentally discovers a dying system (a fake system, but connected to the protagonist), and thus embarks on a cultivation journey. This book perfectly portrays the image of a loyal old dog (there's no plot of looking down on anyone), the author's writing is engaging and quite funny, and most of the characters are well-developed. The world-building is also quite extensive. It's just that the title is too down-to-earth, which is why not many people read it (I've already recommended it to you all, check it out!).

    The decline of traditional novels is due to the large number of readers who enjoy mindless, light-hearted stories, causing them to lose their market. Read this while you can, it's a rare haven. This book avoids the usual pitfalls, forced comparisons, and pretentious plots. Even the common clichés and slapstick humor found in other books are completely absent. It's a rebirth story with high intelligence, excellent writing, and a plot completely different from those formulaic novels. The protagonist's intelligence is consistently high, his thinking is clear, and his logic is coherent. It's a true male-oriented novel; you have to use your brain to read it. 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 book completely avoids such brainless plots. 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. Plus, there are no mindless plots; 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! This is important, so I'll say it three times: if you're looking for mindless, lighthearted reading, look elsewhere! If you don't use your brain and read carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. And while reading, don't skip ahead; every word or sentence might be a key element related to later plot developments. Also, the hooks the author plants 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 with confidence. One more thing: if you're not going to read this without thinking, don't bother. Some of the exciting moments are on the surface, some aren't. If you don't understand them, don't waste your time.
