   It's a good read. The protagonist is incredibly strong, both psychologically and physically, and has a cold, indifferent personality. Later, he wants to return to his original world because he knows it will only get worse, and no single genius can salvage it. He feels his quality of life is declining, so he decides to find a way back to his original world. However, he doesn't actually have any attachments to his original world. The ending has a sense of reincarnation. It's definitely an unconventional story. The story includes some mystery elements, where all the known information is given to the reader before the protagonist reveals the conclusion. If the reader is clever enough, they can guess the clues, giving it a mystery novel feel. There are also many open questions, such as which world Liang Wan belongs to, and whether other people might have transmigrated into the protagonist's original world… It's a thought-provoking and intriguing story, and indeed, everyone is a villain. The satisfying ending is that the protagonist does return to his world. Furthermore, it's a very logical novel, allowing readers to understand the protagonist's motivations and psychological changes. Everything is traceable; even the reasons for the protagonist's personality can be inferred from his family environment.

   [Five Stars] I would call it a masterpiece! From the very first world, I was amazed by the protagonist's meticulousness and decisiveness. I never imagined a novel could be written and adapted in this way. Every world was wonderful, and the ending of the main plot had a feeling of being both unexpected and logical, which was quite novel. This is a novel with the characteristics of online novels, while also containing humanistic concerns. Moreover, although it is a self-rescue story, it is not like many of the current novels on the market that follow the "beautiful, strong, tragic" or "misunderstanding-based" narratives, which deliberately perform the side that readers or other characters like to enjoy, fabricating fictitious past experiences of being hurt, and seeming too frivolous about other people's lives. Instead, the protagonist, based on the original author's creation, fills in a logically complete life line and personality for the character. He may also create some events to make the plots related to other characters in the novel more logical and complete, but he himself has great respect for the personality of other characters and hopes that their lives will be better. Moreover, the protagonist himself hates to make everything go in a tragic direction, or to deliberately make a character (including himself) appear beautiful, strong, and tragic. You can feel that the protagonist is sincere, and everything that happens is logical and well-founded. I think it should be considered a serious drama. It's very rigorous, and sincerity is reciprocated. The protagonist treats the characters in the novel as human beings.

   It's a sweet romance novel with only three parts, but all of them are quite well-made. My favorite part is the one with the videotape. The protagonist and the monster are mutually attracted to each other.

   Curator note

   First, I should mention that I didn't finish reading it, and I skipped through many parts because some issues seemed unresolved and I simply didn't have the patience to continue. The writing style is actually quite good. This story has a bit of an animated feel to it; I can already imagine what it would be like as an anime. The daily life is very interesting, with many adventures and thrilling moments, and the protagonist is also very powerful. However, after reading the whole thing, I felt there were many regrets, and I often felt a sense of helplessness. Those alien creatures always seem to affect the people around the protagonist, and the protagonist tries to help resolve these issues, but they never achieve a perfect ending, and sometimes even make things worse. For example, the girl surnamed Wei was turned into liquid by some kind of bacteria after attending a concert and hasn't recovered for a very long time; I'm genuinely worried about her future. The boy surnamed Cui's parents and younger brother were also turned into liquid, and he hasn't been able to see his family for a long time. This issue remains unresolved for a long time, and when the protagonist tries to resolve it, new troubles arise, a whole series of problems, which he then painstakingly resolves, like wallpapering. The supervisory and restrictive measures and the committee's attempt to arrest the girl surnamed Chen also fail to solve the problem, and the frog that was thought to be dead is actually still alive and harming another teacher, but no one knows it (…). Song Jiarui was parasitized by an alien creature and died, so the protagonist forcibly brainwashed the alien creature, turning it into a new Song Jiarui. Although I've been going recently, I still feel incredibly powerless. None of these issues can be perfectly resolved. The protagonists' efforts are like putting a piece of paper over the holes, creating a peaceful appearance but failing to address the underlying problems. A typical example is at the beginning of the story when the protagonists' house is almost completely destroyed by a plant and the animal that handled it. They then buy a projector to "solve" the problem, and while the house appears fine on the surface, the actual structure is destroyed, and there seems to be no mention of rebuilding it later.

   I don't see how the protagonist is just a background character. He's been top-tier from childhood, with a smooth and successful life. His parents paved the way for him from birth, his family is wealthy, his friends are academic geniuses who tutor him, he's academically gifted enough to get into a 211 university, he already has fans online before even debuting, and he even has a highly qualified acting teacher. Where is he just a background character? Such a perfect life is something I only dream about. Honestly, I'm jealous [crying emoji]. Furthermore, the author's writing style is bland, the plot is somewhat rambling, and the pacing is slow. It feels like a long, free novel; I don't think it's worth paying for (which is why I stopped reading later, not to encourage piracy). So I'm quite confused as to why this novel has so many favorites?

   Curator note

   This is a short story with a slight stream of consciousness. The protagonist is a male insect who transmigrates into a human body. He is a male insect who doesn't want to be bound but can't get freedom, so he becomes depressed. Even after transmigrating to the human world, he is still somewhat depressed, but with the help of his lover and others, he rediscovers the beauty of life.

   This is a very heartwarming and inspiring article. By inspiring, I mean to love life and live it to the fullest. It's a very rare piece that deals with time and space but doesn't leave the reader feeling confused. Instead, it feels very clear, conveying a wonderful feeling of being able to change past regrets, save one's past and present self, and help others within one's power.

   Curator note

   [Five stars] Absolutely fantastic! To be precise, the later parts are better than the earlier ones. The plot before Di Qiye realizes his feelings for Gu Lie is a bit boring, but it gets really good afterward. The plot, pacing, and character development of both main and supporting characters are excellent. Gu Lie and Di Qiye's love is actually a mutual healing process; their love makes them both more complete. It's a real shame that this author hasn't written many stories where the protagonist is the dominant one.

   Curator note

   It's so-so. I only read up to the last few chapters after it became a paid chapter. The romance felt a bit forced: first, the protagonist's best friend repeatedly called the other character (who wasn't a close friend of either of them at this point) "sister-in-law" after getting drunk; then, the protagonist found the other character fighting with two of his admirers, with bruises on his hands and scrapes on his body, and insisted on dragging him to the infirmary, completely disregarding the fact that he had promised to participate in a competition that was about to begin, despite the other character's repeated attempts to dissuade him... I really don't understand why he couldn't let the other character go to the infirmary on his own for such a minor injury? And the protagonist broke his promise over such a small matter...

    Curator note

    [Five Stars] Very good, very healing. This is the first time I've read a Japanese novel like this. Every time I see Mochizuki Jirou so sincerely and trustingly giving everything to the person he loves, I'm deeply moved. Personally, I feel this story lies in the intersection of reality and fantasy. It presents a beautiful side, mainly because the protagonist's life is wonderful, but in the details, it also reveals the distorted side of Japanese society. One thing to note is that although this story is said to have two perspectives, it is actually a story with the protagonist being the receiver. Mochizuki Jirou's perspective occupies 99% of the text, and there is basically no description of Ijuin's inner thoughts. If you only look at the protagonist's character design and the plot content, this is a very typical and somewhat old-fashioned story of rescuing a prostitute. However, the author has added some reflections on Japanese society, giving the text emotion, making these plots and characters less stereotypical and fake, and giving them real flesh and blood. Although the feeling of being suppressed because the protagonist is the receiver still made me a little uncomfortable, it is undeniable that this is a good novel.
