   It started slowly but progressed rapidly, becoming phenomenal later on. The early part was indeed a bit tedious and I dropped it a few times, but I eventually finished it. The logical loop and the background were quite novel – dimensional chaos and dimensional descent, yet it all came together perfectly. The writing was also quite good, the ensemble cast was well-developed, the explanation of the origin was somewhat stream-of-consciousness, and the demolition scene when closing the passage was quite fairytale-like. The author has a lot of imagination, and the writing is strong enough to support it. I really like the protagonist's character design; it resonates with the player's mindset. Is this the legendary, dreamy, and foolish god of the Chi Yu Boss? Part Two: Does the concluding theme elevate the search for self and self-growth?

There are many supernatural incidents in this world, such as the Nanming Haunted Well Village Incident, the Chang'an Baby Theft Incident, and the Danyang Floating Corpse Incident. There are also many supernatural objects, such as a bronze mirror from a tomb, a strange blackwood bead, and a wedding veil for a ghost marriage. T 29.4kFavorites49.7kClicks/ch38.2kGifts

   I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'm afraid I'll forget it, so I'll just give a brief review first. The writing is very good, the plot is not dragging, and the appearance of the multiple identities immediately captivated me. There are many identities, maybe thirteen or so. Most of the alternate characters had highlights, leaving a deep impression on me. The alternate character designs and backgrounds were well-established and closely matched the original character. My favorites were the paper doll and the original character's alternate character. The hide-and-seek, the art museum, the prison, and the black-eyed little man all had a strong sense of horror and were vividly described, giving off a slightly quirky vibe. Then there was the ensemble piece, the ordinary people, which exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to find such a well-written opening. The people in the hide-and-seek game, the small village in Mississippi, and the black-eyed little man—the first one, the daughter and father, the second one, the slightly overweight woman, the village chief and his wife—facing the supernatural, knowing it was hopeless, yet still doing it to save others—it was a human hymn to humanity, and the brilliance of humanity instantly came to life. The head of the China Supernatural Management Headquarters, Si Zai, and his deputy, Nong Xiangming, were also very interesting, especially when they encountered the supernatural merchant Bai Yixin and the fanatical followers of the Wan Die Hui's cocoon. In my opinion, the original character, Qing Tong, was a bit too saintly and too considerate of others. Although she was a savior, I might not be a particular fan of this type. But overall, it was very well-written, exactly the kind of story I wanted to read. Out of 10, I'd give it a 9.8! Second editor: Oh right, the system is pretty good too. It's cute and not completely useless or a drag on the protagonist. The system has done a lot of work for the protagonist, doing live broadcasts and relaying messages. It's quite versatile. Also, the previous hosts passed down and innovated the system to save the world and fight against the supernatural beings, which is how the current system was created. The monster cards and the shop are all accumulated. Perhaps it was fate that they came to the protagonist. Thirdly: Having finished the ending, which is a True Ending, it felt very realistic and heavy, with a faint sadness. The protagonist became a god, gradually merging with the World Tree, but losing his humanity. The truly complete Qing Tong had already died at a moment unknown to anyone. The main characters were also well-portrayed, especially the final moment in the supernatural realm of overlapping spaces and the dream caused by the A-level supernatural phenomenon (not that the previous portrayals were bad). It was quite funny, with a sense of youthful spirit and fearlessness. Qing Tong was the captain and their pillar of strength. With the captain there, there was nothing to fear... They walked on so lively and heartwarmingly. But the question of lifespan is an insurmountable issue. Looking from the future to the past, the head of the Disaster Command and everyone in Qing Tong's team met a bad end... The people under the lamplight slowly faded from public view. Only the system silently recorded everything, just like it had been by the side of the previous hosts. Because Qing Tong no longer cared, it was undoubtedly a divine work. The writing was excellent, especially the combination of pseudonyms and ensemble cast, plus the elements of the supernatural and live streaming, without losing anything. There is still so much more I don't know how to say. So, to the divine work in my heart.

   I've only read up to the part on Romantic Contagion. I don't really like Mary Sue comedic literature, so I haven't continued reading. But so far, I like it and haven't felt it made me feel stupid, especially the characters from Shemochu, Cthulhu, Abandoned Me, and Spore Memories. They're all amazing. In my opinion, the group portrait in Abandoned Me is the best portrayed (out of all the episodes). Part Two: How do people call this kind of feeling? I still haven't caught up, but I finished reading *Non-Human Beings* and will write something first. I admit I spoke too loudly before, maybe because my threshold for laughter is high. I didn't find *Romantic Contagion* particularly funny, but it introduced the foreshadowing of the Gu Field and the Gu King, and Zhao Ying's later role as a member of 0106, leading to the Foundation's counterattack against Metal and everyone in 0106, as well as other Foundation members infiltrating the investment bank and entering the god-level dungeon of *Non-Human Beings*. I think the dungeons in *Non-Human Beings* are pretty well written; I enjoyed reading them, especially Xiao Tang's witty dialogue. The group characterization is also quite good; Xiao Yuan, the team leader, Xiao Fei, Jin Ling, and Lao Ma are all very impressive. The City of the Dead, the City of Violence, the Port of Raging Waves, and the No Man's Land are all... The name is also very nice. Wasn't it said that the sugary thing was using some kind of one-click editing that caused so many typos, missing words, and grammatical errors in the article? Actually, you can read it smoothly by referring to the context. Just read it slowly. The memorable dungeons are... The one with You Gaohan and Xiaochuan who traveled a thousand miles in a day (sigh, I don't think the second life in Xuxu Photography Studio was ever used, it could withstand one fatal blow). The children from Purple Street in Nightmare, Hang Yiqing and Lu Yun (the City Guards are all good people, they silently protected Lu Yun even after they died, they came to the edge of Purple Street to protect her self-esteem and didn't expose her). The Business All-Round Challenge is also very entertaining (I'm sure of it). The key point is the challenge! I really laughed at this part. Later, Xiao Shang also came to find his only father, Er Si, and became a father without pain, gaining a bunch of great sons. V50000 directly became the Great General of Qin. I really laughed. The ending of Mirage was also exciting. This story improved Cen Bingqi's character and made him more three-dimensional. Cen Bingqi's "Qi" means to start a new life. Cen Bingqi and his friends took turns killing the researcher and escaping from the laboratory. Anyway, I was really fired up. (Oh right, when Cen Bingqi discovered that Cen Bingqi had amnesia, he called a meeting with people. It was also a humorous moment. They are a loving family.) Finally, they entered the pseudo-human space to reveal the truth. The child's soul drove Qiao Bie to help Hang Yiqing block that injury. Oh, did that "brother" make you feel that the child was not actually dead? Oh, but he wasn't really dead. I'd completely forgotten about that soul contract foreshadowing (I spent several days watching it without thinking). Before she died, the mother gave her last breath to the child, bringing him into the world and allowing him to meet everyone in Zijie. It was because of this affection, these memories, and this guilt that Qiao Bie gave his last breath to the child before he died. In the future, the child will probably return to Hang Ge and Guan Ge's side, which can be considered a happy ending! (Qiao Bie must have felt regretful too. He worked so hard to obtain the child's identity, become the head of the Qiao family, and no longer have a short lifespan. He even planned his future, but he was affected by his emotions, leading to his death. All he wanted was to live like the child, like an ordinary person.)

   It's definitely quite melodramatic, but the plot and setting are logically sound and well-rounded. The writing is also decent. I really liked the storylines of the Sun Chaser, the Sword Master of Hanguang, and the Child of Calamity, but I didn't have a strong impression of the other alternate characters. The interactions between these alternate characters and the higher-ups and the general public weren't explored much.

    I haven't finished reading it yet, so I'm tentatively giving it five stars. It's not the kind of alternate identity novel I imagined, where the protagonist fabricates their own character and background. Instead, it's about the protagonist eating their opponents and wearing multiple identities. So far, none of the alternate identities have left a deep impression on me, and the ordinary characters aren't particularly outstanding either. However, the protagonist is very well-developed and three-dimensional. The dungeons also have a horror game-like atmosphere, don't feel mindless, and have a good plot with foreshadowing. Second part: After reading it, I found the main character to be very well-developed and fleshed out, and the ending was a complete loop with all the foreshadowing resolved.

The plot, character design, and background of the alternate account are all very good, with some profound plot points.

    The four-star character designs are good, but some of the dungeons lack profound plot points or atmosphere. I didn't remember much about the ordinary characters; the story felt purely lighthearted and lacked depth, making it feel a bit rushed. It could have expanded on more, but the ending was too abrupt. Second part: Actually, I quite like Liu Ping'an D and the extraordinary clothing store employee Lao Zhao from the Taotie's dungeon, and Zhou Jingyu, the Mother of Reversal (I think that's her name...).

    I watched it a long time ago, and from what I remember, the alternate identities and the main character, Chu Zaizhou (I can't believe I still remember that name!), Were both very well-developed. The relationships between the alternate identities were also handled very well (the alternate identities and the main character had some close interactions). Some of the episodes also left a deep impression on me, although not many, but overall, there were no major flaws and the ending wasn't a letdown. Although the ending was a happy ending, even though the true identity was revealed, it was still a happy ending. The ordinary people, or the ensemble parts, while not particularly outstanding, were still well-portrayed, so I'd give it five stars. Second editor: The first novel I read with pseudonyms was a white moonlight (ideal/ideal).

    Before chapter 170, everything was great. The character development, plot, foreshadowing, and ensemble cast were all excellent and impactful, with many memorable female characters. After that, it got a bit messy and rushed, with a feeling of going back thousands of years and other worlds. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but the earlier parts were definitely at the level of divine writing in my opinion, so I'd give it five stars. Part Two: The later parts are also quite fantastic, though the number of secret identities isn't that high. The main character, Gu Yin, is outstanding and well-developed. There are also ordinary people who are small yet great; "Courage is always the hymn of humanity." The author really knows how to write ensemble pieces! (Nods) It's just a bit chaotic, with a kind of beauty that disregards the outline.
