   The writing isn't top-notch, but it's passable. It's just so brain-dead. Small-minded

   The pacing is off; the opening scene where the female lead is looking for a house is a plot point that could be completely omitted.

   Curator note

   The male lead's character is quite rare on Jinjiang Literature City, and the female lead is also quite good. The beginning was excellent. It gets more and more boring towards the end; the author doesn't know how to write a plot, and it's very uninteresting.

   It was interesting at the beginning, but the more you watch, the more fake it becomes. It lacks logic, and the romance is completely nonsensical.

   Poor storytelling, verbose, and didactic. However, it is also a rare and interesting cultivation novel on Jinjiang Literature City, with a good structure.

9. 9 他 He Came from Mars 他，来自火星 Meal Card饭卡Romance238k WordsCompleted On the Orion Arm, 100,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy, there is a tiny, tiny blue planet that hardly anyone notices. On this utterly insignificant planet lives an equally insignificant female human from Earth. Then one day, aliens conquer Earth… A tribute to Togashi, a romance with a sci-fi veneer. Please don’t eat while reading, keep the room well lit, and don’t expect too much of the author’s character. When you’re angry and confused, repeat the warnings above to yourself.

   It's science fiction, incredibly imaginative, and beautifully written. The balance between science fiction and romance was not well struck, resulting in a hybrid that is neither fish nor fowl.
