    A 9.3 Score!!! The first book is mainly a battle royale in the early stages, but the scope expands in the mid-to-late stages. Simply put, it's a god-selection game. The character portrayals are very detailed; even minor characters are depicted in a very three-dimensional way. However, it wasn't very popular, possibly because it's a bit gory. The protagonist isn't a saint, there's no harem, and there are no mindless actions. Overall, it's a good book and highly recommended. The second book is a newly released one, and it's generally not as good as the first. The writing isn't as good either, but it has more elements of the Cthulhu archetype and doesn't follow the protagonist's invincible path (the first book wasn't either).

    I highly recommend adding this to your bookshelf. Although it's a newly written novel, it's very substantial, with each chapter containing 3600-5000 words.

    Reader note

    Book Review: *Black Myth: The Primordial Egg* – This is true "darkness," where even despair has no foothold. I'm a quintessential fan of dark epics, having watched *Game of Thrones* and devoured *Dune*, I pride myself on having sufficient immunity to "darkness" and "despair." Until I opened this book and saw the first sentence: "The first sound of the universe was not the horn of creation, but the scream of pain." Then came the second sentence: "We are cancer cells, parasitic on the corpses of gods." I was instantly nailed to the screen. I. Its "darkness" is absolute "darkness" in logic. The most powerful aspect of this book lies in its construction of a logically consistent and impeccable dark universe. It's not dark for the sake of darkness, but rather uses the dual main threads of "dewdrops" (the source of cancerous mutation) and "zero light" (the spark of resistance) to reinterpret all events in human history—from Zhuangzi's butterfly dream to the Three Kingdoms period. Every allusion, every character, becomes a footnote to this dark logic. - Qin Shi Huang's unification was the victory of a "violent proliferative subtype" of cancer; - Liu Bei's crossing of the Yangtze River with his people was an awakening of benevolence; - Even the biblical story of the serpent tempting Eve became a program for dew to activate the "cancer cell instinct" in humans. This closed loop of logic, which "interprets all light as darkness," is the most chilling. II. Its "despair" is the ultimate philosophical "despair." The despair in this book is not the superficial despair of "the protagonist died" or "the world was destroyed." Its despair makes you begin to doubt: "We think we are fighting cancer, but we are actually just helping cancer write its immune escape thesis." It makes you realize that all your efforts, all your goodwill, all your resistance, on a cosmic scale, may just be the self-optimization of "cancer cells." This despair is deep-seated because it even denies "hope" itself. Third, its "epic" feel stems from its "grand" scope spanning time and space. This book boasts a vast scale, from the "primordial blind voice" of the universe's birth to the "awakening of zero light" during the Three Kingdoms period, and then to the future "colonization of Mars," its time span connecting the past, present, and future. It blends Chinese mythology, Western religion, and modern science fiction, yet perfectly serves the core theme of "cancer and resistance." This grand sense of time and space will instill in you a sense of awe at the insignificance of humanity while you read. Fourth, for those still hesitating: If you enjoy "feel-good" stories, stories where the protagonist has an easy time, this book might not be for you. But if you appreciate depth, thought-provoking content, and works worth savoring repeatedly, then you shouldn't miss this book. It might overturn your perceptions, it might make you uncomfortable, and it might even leave you in a long silence after closing the book. But that's its charm—it's not a book for entertainment, but a book worth remembering. Finally, I'd like to conclude with a quote from the book: "The real black myth is not 'we are sick,' but 'we know we are sick, yet even the concept of 'health' is an illusion created by our illness.'"
