   Read Chapter 48 I was recommended this place by someone, and the plot is one that interests me, but the latest chapters are a bit lackluster, and the writing style seems to have declined. The main reason for abandoning the story was that the male lead guided a righteous cultivator to become a demon, which I couldn't accept. It was indeed his fault for stealing the sword, but it was still hard to accept that he guided people to become demons for his own selfish reasons. In addition, the writing style changed, so I abandoned the story.

   The subject matter is quite interesting, and the high number of favorites made me give it a try. Hmm, if you're a complete beginner, I wouldn't say anything, but after reading a few chapters and checking the homepage... Author, you've written so many books and still haven't improved? So far, all the villains are very flat, appearing only to be humiliated by the protagonist. They're all predictable from the moment they appear. Also, I personally like the livestream commentary feature, but the comments are too numerous and the comments are incredibly mindless, again a design only for getting humiliated. Finally, there's the issue of the gods' names. Some authors have mentioned that this part is slightly problematic, but I don't know much about it, so I'm just mentioning it. Finally, if the free chapters in the early stages of a novel are so unengaging that it's hard to believe the later developments will be any better.

   The reviews are quite high, but because the story was written a long time ago, there are some timeline inconsistencies that are a bit distracting and hard to follow. I'm including this as a note because I'm worried I might forget why I dropped it.

   I've read up to chapter 57 so far. Overall, it's alright, but it just doesn't really resonate with me. I thought it was a comedy, with a scene where everyone is shocked and bewildered after the truth is revealed, but it never does, making it so cringeworthy I could practically dig a castle out of my toes. I'm finding it a bit hard to watch right now; I'm not really into this kind of premise. Also, there are quite a few typos.

   I didn't read much of this one, but every time I saw the name of that superpower (unleashing an invisible slash forward), I wanted to laugh. It was so casual and distracting [laughing and crying with face covered]. Just thinking about that name made it impossible to continue reading. However, judging from the ratings, it started strong but declined, so I'm just glad I didn't finish it; I was following the ongoing series. Actually, the "Gods" book also had a similar feel of starting strong but declining, but it was bearable. I didn't expect this one to be even worse.

   We've reached the fourth story so far. The first story was the best, the second was slightly less so, and the third and fourth, needless to say, got progressively worse, to the point that I no longer want to spend money to read on. First, the male supporting character in the second instance suddenly started to admire the female lead, and later he also blindly believed in her. If it was because the female lead killed the boss in an instant and he thought she was amazing, there should have been a description of that part, instead of him suddenly turning from a stranger into a simp. Secondly, in the fourth instance, the Water God personality appeared without any foreshadowing, and it was incredibly powerful, almost instantly defeating the 'Jiaolong'. There was no description of what preparations the female protagonist made to acquire this personality. Even if these were originally part of the female protagonist, it felt very abrupt that it appeared without any prior description. One more thing: live streaming has a lot of elements, much more than usual. However, this is a matter of opinion; I sometimes enjoy watching mindless comments, but too much of it feels like it's just filler.

   Curator note

   The perspectives are confusing; although the protagonist is Albin, there are many other characters' perspectives as well. Furthermore, the protagonist is excessively helpful, self-sacrificing, and willing to sacrifice himself—in short, a saint. I've read over seventy chapters so far, more than halfway through, and the main plot's progress feels negligible, even though less than three months have passed in the story. The later chapters might be more interesting and exciting, but the current content doesn't seem to be compelling enough for me to continue reading.

   Curator note

   While I enjoy watching young children redeem themselves and slap villains in various live-streamed variety shows, this particular show is genuinely hard to accept. Sending a group of people into a rainforest to survive and win a grand prize is a trope I've only ever seen in survival novels or infinite flow stories; I never imagined I'd see it in a novel about a pampered young child. The protagonist, despite her strength, is only a three-and-a-half-year-old. Sending a child to a rainforest survival show is utterly insane. Everyone in the book, from family and friends to the organizers and netizens, seems to be acting out of sanity, prioritizing thrills over anything else. By chapter thirty-five, they've already encountered bees, snakes, spiders, and even bears, along with torrential rain and high tides—it's completely illogical and irrational. Normal parents, siblings, and even older siblings wouldn't risk such ordeals by taking a young child to survive in the rainforest. They shouldn't have taken a three-and-a-half-year-old on this show in the first place. I can't understand it, I can't accept it, so I'm dropping the book.
