   The first book is a group-character martial arts novel. The author's plot is very clearly outlined, demonstrating profound writing skills in portraying a large group of characters. The second book, about a soul transmigrating to ancient times, shows the author's deep understanding of history. Just from the protagonist's actions in the first few chapters, it's clear this isn't a simple "golden finger" novel. The author also provides some background information in each chapter, which is commendable. The third book could be considered fantasy, but I prefer to see it as a light read. It has a main story and several smaller stories, concluding a period of everyday life. The writing is simple yet depicts a bizarre world and a protagonist who is indifferent to life and death. Although the early stories are somewhat thin, the Qiantang arc vividly portrays oppression and resistance, becoming more surprising with each reading. The fourth book is a youth campus novel. The author truly understands the romantic feelings of introverted students during their school days—the kind of timid love hidden deep inside, afraid to be declared. The whole story is both sweet and poignant, easily evoking memories of the beauty of student days.

    Reader note

    I've been binge-reading these two books lately, almost to the point of neglecting sleep and meals. The first one, which I've been following recently, is captivating because of his line, "30 years as cattle and horses among the common people, 60 years as Buddhas and dragons." The writing is strong, the pacing is fast, it delivers both exhilarating and poignant moments, and the action is decisive and swift. It also incorporates political intrigue and the likes of Gu worms. In his own words, after 30 years of suffering and betrayal by friends, he can no longer trust anyone. This remains true later on; the only people he can truly trust in this world are the worms bound to him. When he's alone and without family, he compromises, traveling the world to cultivate immortality, sweeping floors and scrubbing backs. But when he truly rises to power, he changes. However, when he faces a true immortal, facing certain death... He even knelt and begged for mercy, but when he knew he wouldn't be spared, he said it was the last time he would bow to power, and he would never do it again. When he learned that the person he trusted most was a villain who had betrayed him, he desperately launched the Spore World, aiming for universal harmony. For this, he sacrificed many friends and many followers. The one who impressed me most was his most loyal follower, Lü Shu, who betrayed the protagonist for his faith—essentially correcting him back to the path of faith—but later gave his life for the protagonist. It can be said that although he betrayed the protagonist (believing that the protagonist had strayed from his faith), he always adhered to the protagonist's faith and remained a loyal follower throughout. He eventually became the ruler of the world, but the process was incredibly difficult; you can only understand it by reading it. If the protagonist of this book follows a formula, then this one feels a bit unconventional. However, I skipped around in the early parts because the pace was fast, but it also felt a bit boring, giving me a different feeling from other books. But towards the end, I felt that he had truly written his own story, giving me a sense of sudden enlightenment after escaping a narrow-minded perspective. The characters are vividly portrayed and highly distinctive, and their experiences firmly draw the reader into the book. It truly embodies the saying, "Thirty years as cattle and horses, sixty years as Buddhas and dragons." In short, it's a story of defying fate and changing the world—currently, in the mortal realm, it's a story of world-changing, from offering advice to becoming one of the lords of the 12 cities of the 5th floor, to despair and deciding to change the world, using one's own actions to fight against it and win fairness for all. It's a worthwhile read. The second book is one I've been following for the past few days. The update speed is truly amazing; it seems like there were six updates on March 9th alone. I don't know if they used up all their saved chapters, or if their typing speed is just that incredible. The world-building is vast, incorporating many elements, and the protagonist is a master of scheming and manipulation—meaning he doesn't trust others and can deduce a great deal. So far, it seems to feature multiple female leads, revolving around the inheritance of the emperor's secret burial and a revenge plot against the aristocratic clans. There are definitely exciting moments, and because of the vast world-building and the author's skillful writing, I haven't felt any sense of incongruity. Instead, the truth of the world is revealed layer by layer, drawing the reader in. This sense of mystery is what keeps me following. Personally, I think it's really good. I've been reading both books recently, but I feel that some people might not accept the views in the first book, so please judge with caution. (Just my personal opinion)
