   The writing style is somewhat sluggish, or rather, too formulaic. The parts I personally want to read are relatively short in each chapter, so I won't be following it for now. I'll decide whether to finish it later if I remember.

   After watching the first world, I felt it was a bit mentally disturbing. After watching the beginning of the second world, I realized the protagonist was still incomplete. Without a complete personality, this is what it means to be outsiders! But I've probably passed the age of enjoying this kind of subject matter. I can no longer imagine the existence of non-human beings; it all seems too bizarre and unrealistic, and I just can't convince myself otherwise. That ability to accept and enrich a completely new worldview on my own is leaving me as my energy gradually diminishes.

But her husband was framed by the treacherous Duan Bujing, thrown into prison, and executed in a pool of blood.

Their family had a long tradition of taking the imperial exams, failing again and again, and burning through their savings.

In order to achieve his goal, he must not only give birth to a child, but also make the male protagonist of the Dian family fall in love with him. "It's just about winning over that guy's male lead," Ye Xiao shrugged. "What else can I do but face the challenge head-on?" If a man like him dares to have a child, what wouldn't he dare to do?

   Curator note

   Looking at the text, which was written five years ago, it does indeed have a somewhat old-fashioned feel. At that time, the author's vision was still very young, and his imagination of the world was naive. This book was also an immature work. You can see that the author wanted to grow the sapling, but occasionally he would have a flash of inspiration and want to punch what he thought were unique holes in the leaves, which turned out to be ugly. The emotions feel somewhat unnatural, and the political intrigue is like child's play. If you're reading this story specifically for the birth of a child, it might alleviate some of the feeling of being neither enjoyable nor worth abandoning, since well-written birth-themed stories are still quite rare. Personally, I wouldn't have subscribed to so many chapters if I didn't really want to read a birth-pregnancy story (this story doesn't have a birth-pregnancy arc), and I won't read any more after the birth. I'm an omnivore and don't mind bad copywriting at all, but I'm still a little disappointed with the writing style.

   Curator note

   There are too many internal monologues, and the characters are portrayed in an evaluative manner. He was not a tyrant. The author seems to lack a mature understanding of the relationship between money, resources, and the economy. It's like children falling in love, but their bodies are already mature, causing the emotional tension to fall short of the description's scope. The final rating is only 9.9? I personally think it doesn't live up to its actual quality.

Cool and strikingly handsome, he was known in his day as the “remarkable talent of the Sword Sect.” After all, the virtuous sect’s aloof beauty is practically destined to fall for a demonic sect’s enchantress.

   It's still being serialized, and I stopped following it after a few days. The reason is that the current transitional chapters and ensemble plot felt like something out of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier." It's 2026, and they're still using the same annoying drill instructor x rebellious recruit formula, making the youthful spirit feel contrived. I personally don't really like this kind of formula. The female lead is well-developed, and her growth is something to look forward to. The male lead's introduction was stunning, but his portrayal currently seems somewhat inconsistent and unstable, risking going off-track if not handled carefully. We'll see how it turns out; I don't plan to follow it yet, but I'll reread it if it's well-received upon completion.

    A positive interactive relationship has been formed between readers and authors, and between readers and their works. There are no factions or divisions among readers; everyone is working wholeheartedly and passionately towards a common goal, creating a harmonious atmosphere. This is very rare at Green River. Unfortunately, the so-called "overpowered protagonist" trope is too stereotypical, lacking a unique core, and the story contains instances of belittling the male lead. Personally, I don't think someone who isn't inherently strong can be considered an overpowered protagonist; the prerequisite for an overpowered protagonist is sufficient strength. Watching a clueless plaything is boring. The protagonist does have strengths, but not through self-reliance; rather, others always seem to have unwarranted desires or lusts for him. A work needs vitality; it can't be all about rampant desire. The article currently has a rating of 9.8, Which I disagree with.

In this interstellar world, humans fuse beast eggs with their bodies and gestate battle beasts within themselves. The stronger the beast, the stronger its master, much like a core of inner power in cultivation novels. Even if the battle beasts have to be born from the butt... Qin Zhen doesn't care.

    Who on Xiaohongshu recommended this to me? I can't find my enemy, and I feel lost and confused. The plot was utterly absurd, and as I read, I felt like a piece of meat sitting at the bottom of a simmering casserole, emitting a burnt smell. I refused to believe it; the author must have a reason for writing it this way, unless they were completely absorbed in the story and didn't care about such trivial matters. I was wrong. I hadn't considered that possibility. Looking back now, I can't help but doubt my motivation for persisting. I should have run away before the free chapters even started. Why did I challenge my own bottom line? Was I being brainwashed? I lost. Initially, I just wanted to see how far things could get, but ultimately, I couldn't overcome my body's instinct for self-preservation. I'd seen tropes where protagonists hone their spiritual strength by placing their souls in perilous situations. If I had finished this book, even a protagonist like that might not be as strong as me. Unfortunately, I couldn't persevere. Although not the intended audience for this book, I feel a deep sense of awe for the author.

    The male protagonist's early personality was quite interesting, fresh, and unlike anything you'd seen in Jinjiang (a popular Chinese fiction website).

    Does the book contain any reflections or even satires of reality? Yes. Is the criticism strong enough? No. That's all. This book touches on social issues but doesn't offer an outlet for emotions. It might briefly make people think about why society is the way it is, but it will quickly pull people away from such reflections with an entertainment attitude. Social problems are like monsters summoned to intimidate the protagonist, but the protagonist's methods for solving them are extremely unrealistic and opportunistic. Upon reflection, this approach does seem to resonate with some people's mindset. With so much pressure in reality, if only one could escape it with the simple methods described in the book… that would be wonderful. The imagination is good, but it's a pity.
