Synopsis

When the debut author writing under the pen name Yiri Dong released Mother, a short, mediocre story that left every reader in tears, the ability users paid little attention.

It was only an empathy ability that worked on novels, with limited uses. It also took a heavy toll on the author, making it a poor tool for earning money.

When Yiri Dong built up a large readership with a steady stream of works, then changed styles and wrote the chilling Cruelty, the ability users still paid little attention.

They knew the side effects of Yiri Dong's ability had become impossible to suppress.

Besides, they had more important things to worry about: a powerful new ability user had appeared in Yokohama, with the ability to resurrect the dead.

By the time Yiri Dong had become a nationally renowned author whose work had spread beyond Japan, the publication of the haughty, aloof masterpiece that would end their career, God, made it impossible for the ability users to ignore them.

They discovered that the side effects were real, but the ability's supposed uselessness was a lie.

In fact, the ability was so useful that it had nurtured Yiri Dong into the colossal figure they had become.

Yiri Dong, or rather, Kamiki Shu,

was, at heart, an ordinary person.

No matter how much power they were given, their gaze would remain fixed on an incredibly narrow world. They could neither achieve greatness nor transcend themselves, only hurtle toward losing control.

I finished it in one go, and wow, this plot twist was totally unexpected... I didn't even think about it! It's rare to find a story that doesn't feel frustrating at all. There are so many protagonists who are clearly powerful but get manipulated by people like Mori and Dazai, it's infuriating... The author is truly a breath of fresh air.

Ahhhhh, I love it so much!!! It's incredibly well-written! I will forever be awestruck by your psychological and emotional descriptions. It's like dissecting flesh and blood to analyze them—it's divine... It truly makes me feel the complexity of ordinary people. Whether it's the mother or Kuraguchi, the good and bad sides are portrayed with such confidence, it even gives me a Dickensian vibe...

After watching it, I felt a sense of loss. This is the first time I've seen such a well-written piece of literature on Jinjiang Literature City. It's not written to show off one's knowledge, but rather the literature is perfectly integrated into the structure of the entire novel. The editing of the text is also very fitting. "Virtue" is truly a refreshing piece.

It truly exposes the rawest aspects of ordinary humanity, a kind of insane madness that's both fascinating and unsettling, yet also carries a sense of mutual dependence and vulnerability—it's insane. But if I were to reach that level myself, I'm not sure if I'd become like that. Shenmu has lost all desire in spirit; everything is for pleasure, just like Aha in Genshin Impact.

Ahhh, I love this story so much! Although I'm still a little disappointed by the ending where Shenmu becomes a "god" at the cost of his emotions, the plot is quite original on JJ, the writing style is calm and natural, and the characters are well-developed. While I'd like to read another hundred thousand words (didn't you say you planned for 300,000 when you started?), This is already a complete story. Looking forward to the next one!

Oh my god... It made me so sad. Shenmu and his mother loved each other, but they also hurt each other. They missed each other, but they could never see each other again.

Oh my god... Teacher, every single word you wrote is jumping around on my XP!!! It's so beautiful, and Shenmu's character development is amazing.

Will they reboot later and erase all the memories? It's hard to imagine that the person who did all this was actually just collecting materials? Treating the whole world as a material library or something (qidhiganjuehenyouyisi).

It actually succeeded in destroying the world; what a rare type.

My God, this is a development I never expected, but it's probably the best way. It's better than the two of us torturing each other.
