   Hmm, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came up with a thousand-word negative review for this story, hahaha. The author's concept and world-building are acceptable, but the lack of writing skill is a major flaw that stands out in this otherwise "acceptable" world-building. I understand what the author is trying to say, but I just can't empathize with the story or capture that feeling in writing. Yeah, and then, new characters appear, four or five in a single chapter. It's giving me a headache. I don't know if it's because I haven't read a long novel in over a year or what, but introducing so many characters all at once, and digging so many plot holes, honestly, even if you fill them in later, I won't remember them, and I won't experience that "aha!" Moment. Introducing four or five characters per chapter, appearing so many times, and still managing to use their hair color as a reference without giving them their names—I understand creating mystery, but what's with the blue and gray? It just gives me a headache. I don't know what's wrong with you. All I know is that when this character appeared later, I didn't feel anything. Reading this article reminded me of my own essay-writing days, where I used templates and memorized materials. I used the templates, but I didn't use any of the materials correctly. I truly understood what you wanted to say, but I couldn't feel it. It was a great narcissistic setting, and I liked the infinite flow worldview, but it failed because of my poor writing skills. I got carried away and went off to enjoy myself. The initial world-building kept me up all night, earning me a five-star rating. However, by the middle, I was increasingly exhausted and wanted to give up. But then I remembered I'd already invested money and couldn't bear to abandon it; all the sunk costs were there, so I decided to persevere and finish it. I've read many poorly written works on Jinjiang Literature City, but I've never read one with such poor writing that has a good world-building foundation. I'm so upset. I paid thirty yuan to see this post. I really want a refund...
