His pair of peach-blossom eyes always seemed distant. Then, just like that, his family went bankrupt, and his parents turned on the gas in the middle of the night. His girlfriend's mother immediately changed her tune and slapped 500,000 yuan down in front of everyone. “Take the money and stay away from Yuanyuan. She deserves a better future.” Song Yuanyuan lowered her head guiltily and said nothing. All t 438.4kFavorites771.2kClicks/ch280.3kGifts

   This is an absolutely fantastic book. I initially picked it up for the romance, but I was completely captivated by the plot. The main storyline is incredibly engaging, and the exploration of "public opinion" is thought-provoking. The tragedy of the protagonist's parents and the social discourse surrounding them before and after their deaths reminded me of Gustave Le Bon's *The Crowd*, where he argued that the crowd amplifies the errors and malice of individuals, and that when individuals unconsciously gather into a group, they often exhibit emotionality, low intelligence, blindness, impulsiveness, and gullibility… A malicious frame-up, a group's celebration, and a group's silence ultimately lead to the most devastating consequences.

   Because the author writes so well that I suspect they are also a fan of Luo Guanzhong (a derogatory term for a specific type of fiction), I personally feel this story is geared towards a specific audience. Those who like it (like me) will absolutely love it, while those who don't might find it completely unreadable. To each their own, I guess.

    This is so good! The author is truly amazing. It's a post-apocalyptic novel with a very grand scope. I felt like I was on a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip with the author, traveling from Seattle to Greenland, then from Norway across Eurasia to China. Entering China brought many regrets, making the previous journey all the more precious… Along the way, we met many people, some with pain and regret, but the overall tone was warm. However, after entering China, there were so many regrets and sorrows that it was heartbreaking to read. The endings of many characters were very sad… Kunming was an even greater tragedy. The fates of the Liu sisters, the Yu sisters, and the Shang Guang team who chose to enter Kunming all saddened me. Even more heartbreaking was Xie Tan's story; her experiences were a huge tragedy, and I wanted to cry for her countless times… In any case, this is the best post-apocalyptic novel I've ever read. I look forward to the author completing this series!
