    Reader note

    Hello fellow book lovers! I am recommending books to you with utmost sincerity. As a newcomer to the writing world, surrounded by seasoned professionals, and with countless amateur authors like myself, the chances of gaining your approval are slim. However, I still want to try, so I sincerely present my only two novellas of science fiction for your reading and feedback! If there are any flaws in the works, I hope you will be forgiving, offer criticism, and point them out! Thank you for your support! "Electronic Journey: Breaking the Cocoon" and "Electronic Journey: Rebirth" are hardcore, logic-heavy, and offer a fresh science fiction perspective, telling the story of electronic intelligent civilization and human civilization in the microscopic world. The first part, "Breaking the Cocoon," focuses on mind-bending logical analysis and scientific conjecture, emphasizing the raising of questions; the second part, "Rebirth," emphasizes vivid writing and a grand science fiction atmosphere, focusing on solving problems. The science fiction foundation of the stories is closely related to physics, based on reasonable concepts developed from knowledge of electricity, quantum physics, and computer science, offering a novel and unique science fiction perspective. The story is based on the research results of a future physics PhD who discovers the existence of microscopic intelligent civilizations on free electrons as the underlying logic of science fiction; the villain's work and emotional setbacks serve as the trigger for the event; the story revolves around the dual main lines of "villains stealing scientific research results - using microscopic intelligent civilizations to retaliate against their enemies - causing disasters on a global scale" and "protagonists solving the mysteries of various disaster events - developing cooperation with microscopic civilizations based on research results - stopping global disasters", which ultimately establishes a new perspective of science fiction on the path of macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations. The work is carefully conceived, and the plot is as logically rigorous as possible. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures in the development of science and technology and contradictions, ensuring a complete worldview system. The writing style is as fluent as possible, with vivid descriptions, rich character emotional portrayals, and grand science fiction scenes to satisfy different readers' reading experience and appreciation levels. The following views expressed in the novel are worth discussing and reflecting on: (1) The novel puts forward the concept of "future macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations", which is a new thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planet celestial system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and pondering for science fiction fans. (3) The novel proposes that "the 'simultaneity' of human world time may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the perspective of the microscopic world, is a collection of multiple states of events that occur in a linear order over a long time scale, and therefore there is no superposition state." This view is worth considering and discussing. (4) The novel believes that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively generated, but may also be active escape phenomena created by life behavior." This view is worth considering and studying. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel contains a satirical attitude towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and behavioral extremism are all objects of ridicule in the novel. (7) The novel advocates the idea of ​​morality above all else and harmonious coexistence of all things, which is in line with the mainstream worldview of today. (8) The protagonist's spirit of daring to take risks and sacrifice himself for the fate of all mankind demonstrates the noble quality of a free and loving heart, and is a manifestation of the noble character of having the world and the fate of mankind in mind. (9) The deeper meaning of the story is that: previous science fiction novels often discussed the origin of higher intelligence and civilization. Here, it is believed that higher intelligence and civilization do not necessarily originate outside the macrocosm, but are more likely to originate from electrons in the microcosm. For example, it may be the result of the activities of intelligent life groups in micro-electromagnets. After all, everything on Earth is composed of micro-matter, so it is obviously more likely that the current world was constructed by micro-intelligent civilization. In the past, science fiction always imagined life and everything on Earth as being created by macro-unknown civilization. This fixed science fiction perspective should be changed. The code of life may lie in life itself. In addition, the novel also involves the discussion of AI ethics, the discussion of the highest moral principles, and the introduction of knowledge such as base lightning protection measures, laser lightning energy storage, and lightning types and characteristics. The story strives for engaging content, aiming to provide readers with useful knowledge while sparking reflection on future technological advancements, life forms, and ethical considerations. I sincerely recommend this book to fellow readers and humbly welcome feedback! Thank you again!

    Overall, this book really suited my taste—it's rare to find a book on Tomato that I could finish in one sitting. The author's writing is excellent, the character portrayals are precise and nuanced, and the emotional expression is delicate and moving, easily engaging the reader's emotions. The only drawback is the slightly flawed pacing: sometimes it drags on too much, and sometimes it moves too hastily, especially the ending, which felt somewhat rushed. It's not that a happy ending is bad, but the protagonist, in a near-mad state, hastily starts the harem storyline simply because of the loss of all four heroines. This feels rushed and makes one question the protagonist's mental state. I even suspected at one point that this seemingly happy ending was just a hallucination. With the author's skill, the ending could have been written more leisurely, delicately, and convincingly, which is a real shame. However, the Chizuru side story deserves high praise! The main heroine truly lives up to her name; this part of the story is a huge plus. Even with these minor flaws, I still highly recommend it!

    I highly recommend this one. It's a story about the daily lives of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town during the Northern Song Dynasty. The exquisite details and realistic portrayal of society transport you to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it captures the essence of human relationships. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern-day superiority complexes—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's almost a million words long, well-developed and juicy, so give it a try! The downsides: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively gentle plot twists, and a few chapters that are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.
