   Reader note

   First of all, let me say this is definitely not a wish-fulfillment novel, nor is it about a ruthless lone wolf in the apocalypse. It's about a normal person with a system and the beliefs of the 21st century rebuilding civilization in a post-apocalyptic world. (At the beginning, the author's writing is obviously immature, so you can skim through it if you can't stand it, but the later parts are where the novel really shines.) There are many complaints about the plot holes in the book review section, and I almost didn't read it because of them. But to prevent everyone from missing out on this good book because of these complaints, I'll analyze some of the plot holes (of course, this is just my own opinion, so please don't scold me, author [winking face]). Here's my opinion: In the early stages, as many reviews have mentioned, the protagonist is indeed very weak, and the Rocket Force medic he saves is very obviously targeting him. But have you considered the medic's perspective? A military medic, after accidentally falling into a coma, is rescued by a man who refuses to reveal his identity. The man claims to be an office worker but possesses highly professional bandaging skills and carries a military-issue medical kit. Furthermore, a gun-lost incident occurs later. What would a normal person think? If he's a retired veteran, why is he unwilling to reveal himself? Or is the protagonist a foreign infiltrator? Where did the military-issued medical kit come from? Was it found as the protagonist claims, or was it from an assault on a police officer, or something more serious? Where did such professionally trained personnel come from when the team was first formed? Why are they able to answer questions so fluently? Is it a genuine confidentiality agreement, or is it a foreign force deeply infiltrated into the military? As a soldier, I believe these suspicions and targeting are normal. Regarding the protagonist's initial incompetence and disjointed thinking, it was mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist was severely injured. Let me ask you all, would a seriously wounded person with impaired basic mobility have a very monotonous mental state? (Of course, the author clearly had a strong sense of cynicism in the early stages). Why didn't the author troubleshoot and fix the jammed gun for so long? Those who read carefully should know that the protagonist was almost crippled at the beginning, completely unable to perform basic shooting maneuvers. After initial wound treatment, expecting him to fire like a normal person completely disregarded the protagonist's physical condition and the recoil of the weapon. Therefore, repairing the gun was completely unnecessary. Later, there is a scene where the gun is repaired; the problem is very simple, and the protagonist fixes it in just a few steps. However, after firing a single shot, the wound worsens again. The protagonist's slow recovery time is a reasonable arrangement made by the author after fully considering various objective factors such as the novel's setting and the protagonist's physical condition. This novel is not a wish-fulfillment story, so I think there's no problem with it. I also believe that readers who, like me, read the whole thing will share the same opinion: the novel's content is meticulously written, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the author responsibly researched relevant materials for some professional content. Many of the technical terms are ones I never expected to see in online novels, showing that the author truly put their heart into writing a good and excellent novel. The author also actively answered and discussed readers' comments and questions, and actively solicited readers' opinions on the subsequent plot. This gave me a strong sense of participation in the novel (and I'm sure I wasn't the only reader). In conclusion, in my opinion, this is an absolutely excellent novel. It fundamentally subverts the thinking of most post-apocalyptic military novels, focusing more on the author's reflections on how our country and army should continue under the apocalypse (roughly in the section on the Construction Committee), and also exploring whether humanity needs to be preserved for survival (Xishan Base). I hope more readers can delve deeper into this novel, rather than reading our superficial reviews filled with our subjective biases. A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets; the final evaluation of this novel should be judged by ourselves, not blindly following the crowd. Also, I highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy rational faith and post-apocalyptic non-satisfying stories.

   If you're tired of the typical "fast-paced, action-packed" post-apocalyptic novels, then *The Crystal Cluster Will* will definitely give you a different kind of shock! It's a sci-fi post-apocalyptic story, but it focuses on tragic fate and the struggle of humanity—the protagonist, Lin Fan, carries the preconceived notion that "countless versions of myself are tragic," searching for "Spring Mountain" in the desolate post-apocalyptic world and questioning courage within a shattered will. This "knowing it's a tragedy but still choosing to move forward" spirit is truly captivating! The fusion of themes is also brilliant: sci-fi post-apocalyptic + live streaming + post-apocalyptic survival—just thinking about it is intriguing: being watched live during a post-apocalyptic survival event—is it a naked display of humanity, or an absurd mockery of fate? The more you read, the more you ponder!

    Having read books for over ten years, I can say this is a great book. It's logically sound, logically rigorous, and very well-written overall. You can see the protagonist's growth isn't instantaneous; it unfolds from university, through graduation, becoming a programmer, a financial consultant, then establishing a theory, and finally starting his own business. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story.
