   "The author is definitely a researcher!"—That was my first thought after reading *Screening Humans*. A completely new kind of tech-driven science fiction, unlike anything else like it, with a 9.5+ rating for content quality!

   The new book has a somewhat disappointing title and cover, but the imaginative content is quite good. The premise that human civilization was the most powerful in the galaxy billions of years ago is inherently exciting, but it's not a typical wish-fulfillment novel. It has a bit of a space opera and hard science fiction feel to it, and it doesn't have a system.

   The author, a senior scientist in a research position, has always lamented the scarcity of hard science fiction works since Liu Cixin, and couldn't resist trying his hand at writing. Scientists are also human, but traditional science fiction often presents a relatively detached view of emotions. *The Origin of Pain* is a completely new perspective on hard science fiction, yet it still features sweet and faithful first love, suitable for both men and women. It's short, avoids dragging, and has a strong sense of realism. The classic chapter is Chapter 13, "One Person, One Thousand Faces." "The Year of Artificial Intelligence? You're not talking about that GPU bubble in history, are you? Before the birth of the pain program, humanity thought they had developed artificial intelligence. Looking back now, it was just a GPU-intensive search engine and data analyzer, not self-evolving silicon-based intelligence at all."

    This is an excellent genre that attracts readers with its fast-paced, exciting plot. The protagonist's development is slow in the early stages, consistent throughout the middle, and then accelerates dramatically in the later stages, with the protagonist experiencing a rocket-like progression. Some parts can be skimmed, but they don't affect the overall story; the author has cleverly conceived plot twists. Definitely worth reading!

    This is my own hardcore interstellar science fiction book, a brand new title. It includes the author's understanding and derivation of string theory. Most of the technology in the book has a theoretical foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Technological development is methodical and gradual, depicting the intrigue and power struggles among interstellar civilizations, and even touching on the philosophy of cosmic civilizations. This book has no systems, no cheat codes, no powerful backers, no fantasy elements, and no time travel or reincarnation. It aims to immerse the reader, focusing on vividly portraying characters' language, emotions, actions, combat scenes, technological development details, and various alien civilization scenarios. The logic is clear, and the technological development is both science fiction and realistic, allowing readers to unconsciously immerse themselves in the characters and experience the exhilarating feeling of waking up suddenly to find themselves among the powerful beings.

    This sci-fi/supernatural novel should have been published earlier! It perfectly fits the genre, featuring a protagonist who is a true sci-fi hero. The world is so vast that even nuclear-contaminated areas are habitable and capable of creating mutated creatures. The technology could even create a completely new, materialized world? With heavy firepower, the protagonist could even conjure nuclear missiles out of thin air? And it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland world filled with mutated creatures, ghosts, and terrifying supernatural beings. In short, it's the ultimate horror/supernatural novel.
