The author's book is truly exceptional. The writing is fluent, the rhetoric appropriate, deeply imbued with the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and further develops the spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties to a profound degree.

    AI Summary: *Gods Devour Earth* constructs a complex world that blends Cthulhu-esque horror, post-apocalyptic survival, science fiction, and Eastern philosophical speculation. The story progresses from basic struggles for survival to power struggles, ultimately delving into philosophical discussions of the origins of power, the nature of faith, and the rules of the universe. The protagonist, Li Fan, follows a clear path of growth: from using intelligence to survive, to employing strategy and knowledge to grow stronger, and finally to challenging the boundaries of cognition to contemplate the path to godhood. The three volumes progress layer by layer, with the setting unfolding gradually and suspense intricately linked, laying a solid foundation for even grander conflicts and explorations to come.

    Reader note

    Here are a few fantasy novel recommendations. They're relatively slow-paced, some are absurd, some are action-packed, and I personally think they're pretty good. Original fantasy novels tend to be more intellectually demanding, the main characters are cheeky, and they're lighthearted and funny. If you don't like them, just scroll away.
