   So heartwarming and beautiful! Long live Western fantasy! The romance is adorable, the plot is fantastic, and the Western fantasy feel is spot-on—it was a truly enjoyable read! However, I was shocked by the sheer number of side couples; there were so many! This was the first novel I read at the end of the year, and I was immediately hooked. After finishing it, I wanted to read this one, but I was worried about constant comparisons with similar works, so I waited a year, and it was a great read! It was definitely the right choice! I can definitely feel the author's improvement, but I still prefer the later chapters. In short, the end-of-year update was so gentle, and the continued updates are wonderful. I look forward to the ongoing Western fantasy series!

   It's great! The world-building is very interesting, with foreshadowing throughout and incredibly strong logic. I was amazed several times when the foreshadowing was revealed! Then there's the angst; the author is so kind, but the plot twists where someone seems dead only to reappear later are okay once or twice, but the third, fourth, or fifth time it gets a bit tiresome and slightly detracts from the reading experience. The romance is also quite engaging, although the timing of their first time together is a bit odd, but overall it's good! Let's talk about the dungeons. I especially loved one of them—I won't mention the name to avoid spoilers—it had a simple premise: rules and objectives, but each element was intricately linked and tightly woven, making it incredibly challenging. While not exactly terrifying, the tension and excitement permeated the entire dungeon. The next dungeon after that was also fantastic. Both dungeons progressed the emotional arc and world-building very smoothly, logically, and brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed watching both! I would definitely rewatch them just for those two! The other dungeons were good too, but none quite reached the same level of brilliance as these two. Except for one where the author seemed to have a particular fondness for this type of content—I personally didn't like it, finding it a bit scary—but overall, the viewing experience was quite good.

   Awesome!! This power struggle is so captivating!!! Every character has their own motives, whether it's love for family and country, deep-seated hatred, or idealism—the portrayals are incredibly detailed, moving me countless times! It's complex and realistic, vividly depicting the insignificance of individuals before war and the complex power struggles between various parties! The author is also generous with the emotional punchlines; finishing it felt incredibly smooth and satisfying!! The battles, which make up a significant portion of the early chapters, are also very well written! The parts about the military academy are my favorite of all the books I've read so far!! I'm eagerly awaiting the author's next book!!! After praising it, let's talk about the problems. There were a few parts that felt unclear. While you could understand what happened later, those parts left you confused immediately afterward. It wasn't that the later parts revealed more details; it was just a bit vague that you had to wait a while to understand. Leaving these parts open-ended felt unnecessary. I'm not sure what the author's intention was, but it doesn't really matter; it's still readable, just slightly affecting the overall experience. Another point is the relationship between the two main characters. Everything was perfect and special near the end, but towards the very end, I didn't quite understand how their relationship developed to that point. Of course, it might just be me who didn't understand, but I was still slightly disappointed with the romance. Finally, the epilogues weren't enough! —Aren't you guys going to be forgotten? No way! —

   Awesome!! Absolutely amazing!!! I was so busy that I stopped reading it halfway through for a few months before picking it up again, which greatly affected my viewing experience—so sad. But even after the break, I was instantly immersed again. What an amazing world-building, what an amazing plot, what a touching ending! The author is great—I look forward to reading it all in one go on my second read and giving it an even more amazing review! Also, the fact that it's continuously updated is the most touching thing!!! I bought the traditional Chinese version and watched several new side stories in one go—it was so satisfying! I'm already looking forward to watching it again!!

   The title is simple yet refreshing, and the writing is incredibly engaging—I almost missed it! The fight scenes are the coolest! Beauty, awe, and magic coexist perfectly!! Every grand scene is awesome!! The setting is incredibly detailed, with skills and world-building galore; seeing a novel world unfold before your eyes is so satisfying—and the romance is great too, so cute! However, there are still some parts I didn't quite understand later on. I don't know if it's because they weren't detailed enough or if I just didn't pay attention. I hope I'll understand them on my second read.

   Absolutely amazing! Even though it's only the beginning of the year, this is probably my favorite story of the year. The descriptions of all the monsters and scenes are incredibly cool! The battles are so vivid! It's brimming with Western fantasy! The world-building unfolds perfectly as the plot progresses! I took screenshots and exclaimed "Wow!" Almost every time a foreshadowing was revealed—it felt like a thrill from "fate"! The sadness and tenderness are very touching! The romance is also great! Even someone who usually struggles with romance thinks this is amazing!! After many years, I've finally given a "perfect" rating to a work again! I love it!! It's amazing!!! I love Western fantasy!!! Also, the words "continuous updates" are so noble!

   I'm giving it five stars now after my second viewing; the romance-related content is absolutely amazing! It's pretty good, the romance is especially cute! Intense love x2, highly recommended. The plot is brilliantly designed, completely unpredictable, especially the villainous boss and the original story – very engaging. Furthermore, after finishing, I realized this story is undeniably enjoyable from beginning to end, but aside from the slightly over-the-top ending, it almost completely avoids the common feeling of "too satisfying, too cliché," making for a great reading experience. However, there are still some issues. The story gets a bit boring from the boss battle until the end, and even one of the epilogues is so dull it makes me regret buying it. The author said they would write a new epilogue but hasn't resurfaced for a year. I'll revise this part after the new anime airs, *wipes tears*. Another very minor issue is the plot of the "original work." I feel I could say more about it; it's a very exciting and complete story, but I don't quite understand what the "original author" was thinking. At least give a definitive answer after the original story's plot is fully explored later. Finally, a friendly reminder: please don't read the comments and paragraph reviews. I did this on my second read to check for any missed details, even though I wasn't afraid of spoilers. As a result, there were arguments at almost every point, and spoilers were everywhere, which really affected the reading experience.

   A great piece of land is truly great, but an unattractive piece of land is also truly unpleasant. The biggest strength of this story is its realism. The character settings, actions, and plot progression are all extremely reasonable! I feel this is the best-written story in this aspect of any novel I've ever read! The author pays great attention to the "reasons behind the characters' actions," and everyone's behavior strictly conforms to their established character traits. Their actions are strongly related to their upbringing and environment, making it a very smooth read! Even the "confrontation with the temple," a common element in almost every Western fantasy novel, is written very reasonably! I kept exclaiming "Awesome!" While reading it! Saying too much would be a spoiler, so let's talk about the frustrating parts. As mentioned before, the established character settings influence behavior, but Fischer, every time she appears, seems less like a person and more like a label. I can understand the reasons behind the actions of other characters, but I can't understand her at all. Only the meeting scene is somewhat normal; the subsequent half-chapter of inner monologues, frankly, felt overdone. I can roughly understand what the author wanted to express, but it was still very difficult to read. I initially thought it was just a typical story about feelings between an apprentice and a subordinate, but it still couldn't escape the clichés. And the ending—to give an analogy, it's like a top student getting all the answers right but not writing the bonus questions—not particularly bad, but too bland compared to the rest of the story. In conclusion, it has its flaws, but I still recommend it because it's a truly amazing place.

    Amazing!!! The most brilliant aspect of this story is the foreshadowing and the shifts in perspective! The numerous foreshadowing elements flow seamlessly, many of which I hadn't even noticed or realized would have such a powerful effect! The narrative perspectives used in different periods, from seeing the protagonist's inner thoughts to only observing from the perspective of others, gradually increase the understanding of the past, yet seem to distance the protagonist further away. Every foreshadowing makes the ending even more exciting! Besides, each memory of the past life, even knowing it's a tragedy, is incredibly captivating; I cried during the waving goodbye scene. The romance, though not extensively detailed, is surprisingly well done! Additionally, there are several small details, such as the titles, which are very characteristic of ancient Chinese style. And the phonetic annotations for rare characters! Finally, no more looking up words! However, there are a few minor flaws. The "scroll" format for showcasing the past, and the large amount of content later filled with dialogue between the Well Lord and the protagonist, both have a high degree of repetition, making them slightly tedious, but it's not a major issue! That's awesome!

Looking forward to the author's next book!! Also, I don't recommend reading the excerpts/reviews for this book.

    Having read the first chapter and gained some understanding of the story, I immediately anticipated the tragic ending. Was it ironic or a warning? What kind of mentality led to this death? But as I read on, those questions became less important. When the ending arrived, the thought, "So this is how it ends," naturally brought a wave of sadness. Having shared my thoughts on the arts and literature, let's move on to something else. I really enjoyed the way the various scripts were presented! They were all quite different, clear, interesting, and very original. It was the first time I hadn't found the entertainment industry section boring! I especially loved the plot of the movie about schizophrenia!! If I saw such a work in real life, I would definitely consider it a true love, even though it's unlikely anyone could portray that feeling in real life. However, there are some flaws. The first few chapters of the ending feel rushed, which doesn't affect the plot but does impact the viewing experience. The happy ending is generally mediocre and a bit confusing. I wonder if it will be clearer and my opinion will improve when the long-awaited "Eternal Life" chapter is released? Of course, the bad ending is still perfect. Also, perhaps due to length constraints or because I personally don't like the entertainment industry, some of the fans' comments felt a bit awkward, but it's not a big deal. Overall, it's good! Worth watching!! The second viewing was even better: I was already looking forward to watching it again after finishing it, and it was indeed perfect. Knowing the ending and the reasons behind some actions beforehand gave me a completely new perspective, allowing me to better understand the characters' behavior and emotions. It was so enjoyable! Perhaps because I learned from the plot, I didn't read through fan comments as carefully, which felt a bit awkward. Also, watching the bad ending first and then coming back for the happy ending smoothly avoided all the negatives, ultimately improving the overall viewing experience. My biggest takeaway was being moved and feeling a sense of perfection. Perhaps it's only after a second viewing that I truly understood it? Anyway, I'm giving it five stars now—it's amazing!!! However, watching the bad ending first was definitely necessary; looking back two years later, the promised happy endings seem even more distant!

    The flow was incredibly smooth until the ending! It reminded me of how awesome it was to watch Earth Online back then! I loved the whole decapitation scene!! It was awesome!!! Anyway, this is a spoiler, but I'd watch it again just for that. However, the ending was a bit confusing. It wasn't a bad ending; the main plot was clear, the characters didn't fall apart, and the world-building was complete, but what about the rest? Let me say a few words! This ending deserves five question marks. The main story should have ended after the first side story!! Two of the romance subplots were completely incomprehensible! But maybe that's not that important. Finally, a lament: Where are 004 and 002?! Where are the drawings?! Where's A02, who the synopsis said would be about?! And why is there a bizarre resurrection bug in the side story?! In short, if you're tolerant, you can watch it, but tolerance is a must.

However, seeing the steam engine appear later on was a bit... Unpleasant. The first twenty chapters almost entirely focused on "how to use the time-traveling cheat code." I'm so glad I read on with a lighthearted attitude; the part where the protagonist officially enters the officialdom is truly excellent!!! A bunch of spoiler-filled lines are unforgettable!! The romance is a bit cloying, which I didn't particularly enjoy, but it's not much, so it's alright? Overall, the flaws don't detract from the overall experience; it's worth a read!

    It's good. Personally, I'm not a big fan of supernatural stories, so I can't comment much on that aspect, but everything else is excellent. There are many foreshadowing elements, and the plot unfolds seamlessly, making it very enjoyable to read! I was also very satisfied with the ending! I was prepared for a disappointing ending, but it was surprisingly perfect! No wonder the author excitedly added it to their collection after just one read—amazing! However, the later parts, especially when it started to connect with time, got a bit messy, and that part was a little difficult to read. I put it off for a week before continuing. Also, the use of hypnosis was a bit excessive, which felt a little strange. But aside from those two points, there's nothing to complain about, especially the ending, which I really liked!

    A standard level-based, plot-driven infinite flow story with excellent emotional portrayal! Several times, the plot subtly hints at a tragic ending before the story unfolds, making for incredibly moving viewing, both tear-jerking and exclaiming in admiration. The plot itself is well-crafted; on my second viewing, I constantly regretted not paying closer attention the first time, as knowing the ending beforehand significantly diminished the viewing experience! However, there are some flaws. The early livestream scenes with their face-slapping moments feel a bit cliché, and the level-based infinite flow structure is only passable. If you're watching specifically for the infinite flow genre, you might be somewhat disappointed. But overall, it's worth watching! I'll wait two years until I've forgotten most of the plot before rewatching it a third time.

    It's cute, but looking back after a few years, it feels a bit cheesy and overly enjoyable. I really like the Western fantasy world.

Crown Prince Zhu Youcheng was only eight years old, and it was anyone's guess whether he would grow up safely.

    A strategy game with a very novel world-building! The levels are quite interesting, and one of them had a lot of foreshadowing, which was incredibly exciting when I saw it – I screamed "Author is awesome!!!" However, saying that would be a spoiler. The romance is almost non-existent (a big plus!!!). Also, the author very thoughtfully labeled each level's foreshadowing with when it was introduced, making it even more impressive!

Gu Jingsheng used to think falling meteorites were something that only happened in badly concluded novels. She never imagined she'd experience it herself one day. A huge rock came hurtling down from the sky with a burning debuff, leaving her just enough time to shout, “I wasn't the one who abandoned the novel!” before her HP hit zero. Perhaps because she'd still managed to make a joke at the end, Gu Jingsheng didn't qu 95.6kFavorites164.3kClicks/ch117.3kGifts
