1. 1 李 Li Jianing's Amazing Journey 李嘉宁的奇妙之旅 Zhang Dingding张鼎鼎Romance2.8M WordsCompleted You cannot decide what you look like, what family you are born into, or how intelligent you are. Most things in life are beyond your control. All you can do is use the few things you can control to shift the course of your life. “Would you like to be reborn?” “Like Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence?” … “If I keep my memories, being reborn would be an ordeal. If I don’t, I probably won’t end up living the life I have now.” “Then let’s make a few changes to your original circumstances.” What would li 30kFavorites41.6kClicks/ch177.8kGifts

   I could have ended it at volume four. The first four worlds each had their own brilliance, while the later ones each had their own unsettling aspects. I forced myself to read up to volume eight (because I wanted to finish it), but I simply couldn't continue. So, I'll stop here…

   A world without superpowers, it's really good. The female lead isn't on the violent side, she's very smart. The romance has a humorous feel to it, like the author is just being a "good guy who's going all out" [laughs].

   I tried several times but couldn't finish it because of the rampant profanity and the overwhelmingly male cast... Don't say that because feminist consciousness hadn't developed in earlier works, I shouldn't have had to travel through time to help; other earlier works didn't have protagonists constantly using vulgar language like "fuck" or "mother"... Therefore, even though I thought the female lead was amazing, I couldn't finish it several times. This is a warning; if you don't mind these things, you can check it out.

   Curator note

   The synopsis and opening were quite engaging, but it cooled down a bit after it became a paid subscription, making me hesitant to finish it. However, some reviews mentioned a uplifting ending, so I'll put it aside for now and read it when I feel like it. It's a short book, so you can finish it quickly. If you're interested, give it a try; it might suit your taste!

   The first chapter was fantastic! I haven't finished reading the rest of the series yet, so I'm giving it a four out of five for now (because I can't give it a five...).

   The title itself is the synopsis. (To my opinion) The highlight lies in the process of upgrading the ship and building up the family, while friendship and small animals add a touch of warmth and tenderness to the story. The female lead is full of energy and vitality!

   The book boasts a vast and expansive world, and the more you read, the more you discover the metaphorical meanings hidden within many plot points and scenes. The author vividly and fully portrays Zhu Ning, a resilient, vibrant, and powerful woman whose image leaps off the page, making the reader both fond of her and unconsciously feel sorry for her. Beyond its romantic and feminist elements, the book also explores the mother-daughter relationship, advocates for environmental protection, and expresses the author's hope for building a community with a shared future for mankind. This book is truly captivating, bringing both laughter and tears to the reader.
