   It's a great read. The author has a strong writing style, the prose is excellent, and it also enriches the main character's personality. The transitions between scenes are very interesting, and each passage feels like the author's writing reflects the writer's own personality.

Bonus chapters will be released at the end of September.] Blurb: In his previous life, Qu Dubian made his debut after fans obsessively voted for him, thanks to his acting skills and his ability to play a helpless, scheming green tea.

   It's pretty good, but I felt the childhood chapters were too long, and the satisfying moments of the character's transformation and tragic beauty weren't fully realized, leaving me feeling a bit frustrated. The author seems to enjoy describing things like children farting, which evoked mixed feelings in me.

4. 4 英 The Disqualified Heroic Spirit 英灵失格 Fu Yun Su浮云素No CP250k WordsCompleted In the Taisho era, a certain writer rose to fame overnight and became a literary giant of his time. There were many rumors about him. Some said he was a rare beauty, others that he often went out accompanied by courtesans, and still others that he had close ties to supernatural beings and strange phenomena, and had once witnessed an evil spirit devouring a person. One rumor even claimed that anyone who came near him would eventually meet with [misfortune]. "No matter what, among Chaldea's many h 21.1kFavorites49.7kClicks/ch23.1kGifts

   It's a great read, with a strong Japanese light novel feel. The writing is excellent, and many of the plot points are very interesting—the kind of thing you'll still think about long afterward. You can also feel the author's affection for the characters. I'd definitely reread it.

   It's a good read; the author's writing is very strong, the prose is excellent, and it fleshes out the main character's personality. The transitions between scenes are very interesting, and each passage feels like the author's writing reflects the writer's own style. Unfortunately, the later chapters lacked momentum, and after a long delay, the ending was rather mediocre. The ending of the alternate identity was quite unexpected, but I still prefer the feeling of unfulfilled love.

   It's quite bittersweet, and I can actually empathize with the male lead's thoughts to some extent. However, there's too much repetitive description, and the early dialogue feels artificial, like a robot character was designed just to do something, lacking any real purpose, which is a bit annoying. It gets slightly better later on, with some characters becoming more developed, and some metaphors and word choices being used quite effectively.

   It's great. I followed the story from the beginning of "Five Billion Years of Solitude". The author has profound writing skills, uses precise words, and has his own understanding of character portrayal. He doesn't just copy the templates of most popular stories. I feel that the charm of each world's characters is an extension of the protagonist's charm. I'm grateful to the author for his character portrayal and to Chu Zu for his role-playing. It was a very enjoyable read. Except for the fifth door at the end, which was a bit rushed, the other worlds were all very interesting.

   The author seems to have some inside information, or perhaps it's a political issue. The story itself is excellent. It features my favorite crossover protagonist from various British and American comics, and I reread it frequently. The original setting and framework of the story are cleverly integrated. The occasional references to Disco Elysium and other memes are very interesting. The plot is logically sound, and the famous quotes are appropriately used, demonstrating the author's considerable literary skill. It's a very enjoyable read. XP is a blessing for those who are weak/highly intelligent/non-human!

   Delicious, delicious... The transitions were particularly excellent, very cinematic. There were no major plot holes, and the key plot points were handled brilliantly. Now I'm just looking forward to the side stories. By the way, now that Sheila is back, the hallucinations should be back too. How will Matsuda and the others deal with it? Third viewing notes: Read the brief reviews less carefully, as they contain lethal amounts of cat-themed content (although I also support cat-themed content, there's just too much of it...) And spoilers.

    It started slowly but improved steadily until the end, and overall it was quite good. I finished it in one go and felt great. The writing is good, and the author's detailed descriptions enhanced the reader's immersion. I've never been a fan of any celebrities, but I actually felt a sense of loss and regret after finishing it. I really love the aloof and detached protagonist, Jia Rui; I can't resist him... It's a pity there aren't many epilogues, but I'll definitely reread it.

    Curator note

    The beginning was very enjoyable, and I particularly liked the scenes where the protagonist could think clearly. However, a major flaw was the recurring recurring scenes later on where the protagonist seemed frustrated, conflicted, or hesitant around the professor. This was frustrating and completely ruined the viewing experience. From the protagonist's perspective, the professor treated the protagonist like a pet (though perhaps the protagonist's perception of the professor's abilities led to this...?). Only by shifting perspectives did we discover the professor's deep feelings for the protagonist... The later parts also had some unevenness in terms of detail. Based on the synopsis, I thought the main exciting parts should be the protagonist's detective work or his strange perceptions, but these parts were reduced a lot in the later parts, and the ending was also inexplicable. To be honest, I had no impression of the ending at all before I read it a second time. The protagonist is clueless and confused about his own existence, facing each day with a dazed and bewildered attitude. In reality, he's a man-eating flower with a slightly cynical side, somewhat like a mastermind behind the scenes—very charming and satisfying. Later on, the story slightly deviates from its original setting. When the "Elementary Deduction" movie came out, it was clear the author wanted to create a multiverse with a single "He Xue" (a school of thought), but whether it was due to difficulties in ending the story or influence from comments, it ended up being a single world with a single "He Xue"... Anyway, aside from the unpleasant parts, the protagonist is really adorable. There are so many extra chapters, it's really satisfying. I'd love for the author to write more stories like this...

    This is a purely enjoyable story; the protagonist is very interesting, and the title "The Fourth Calamity" is well-deserved. The later parts felt a bit rushed; I feel like it could have easily been written another hundred chapters. Hopefully, there will be plenty of extra chapters to satisfy readers…

    I'm a fan of protagonists from the underworld... I can accept protagonists getting injured, being humiliated and chased on forums, and I actually quite like that kind of thing. But the protagonist is too frustrated when facing supporting characters most of the time, and there's not enough character development for the protagonist, making the character a bit thin.

    Curator note

    I really enjoyed this story. The characters are well-developed, the war descriptions are excellent, and the reactions of the masses are not just summarized in a few sentences. The logic of the whole story is very clear. However, the background seems a bit too simplistic. There are gasoline lamps and steam-powered armor, but almost no other steampunk-style creations are mentioned. Sometimes, it makes me forget that the technological level of the setting is like this.
