   This story's premise is so touching! I just can't resist the sense of destiny surrounding past and present lives. It's somewhat of an ensemble piece, especially the flower-picking party scene—the youthful spirit is so cool! The two main characters are so adorable, their devotion to each other across the three thousand worlds. Actually, I really love the side couple, the master and the senior brother too! It's super good! (Author's note: Avoid if you're a potential fan of certain content.)

   I'm number 0 (with a super strong filter). It's an atypical infinite flow story with a very impressive world view. The dungeons are quite novel, and the character descriptions are decent. The side couple is truly heartbreaking, and the two main characters suffer a lot too. If you don't understand some of the protagonist's actions in the early stages, you'll understand them later! The two characters are really great to ship. If you like melodramatic plot twists, face-slapping moments, and character revealing, definitely bookmark this!

    This one is ranked second (with a thick filter). It's so good! The beginning might have been a little unengaging, but as you watch, the relationship between the two leads and the plot are handled so well! It's truly a passionate love story. The romance is sweet and without major problems (the past life emperor and handsome man might argue, but it's so captivating!). The plot is incredibly heart-wrenching; if I remember correctly, both characters died three times... I'm spitting blood! Anyway, Lai Jiang is awesome! May you be happy forever!

    Don't be fooled by the heart-wrenching plot; the main character's background is also incredibly tragic. Sigh, I was hit with a major tragedy right from the start! And Ning Buwei's background really... It's just so heartbreaking. The scenes with the kids are hilarious, but as for Chu Jun, although there's a romantic subplot, it feels a bit disjointed. It's like the two characters aren't the same person (?). The plot isn't as compelling as the main storyline.

    Well, the plot feels like it explains everything yet also explains nothing. The author really focused on the action scenes, there were a lot of them and they were well-described. The romance seems to revolve around a nemesis relationship. Aside from the protagonist's somewhat tragic backstory, the plot is interspersed with slice-of-life scenes, which makes it quite fun. It has some ensemble elements, and the writing is pretty good, especially considering it's a 14-year-old novel. Maybe my expectations were too high (?).

    It's also a love-hate relationship. And this setting is really fun too! The attacker was an ancient emperor. Then he kept referring to himself as "I," which made the other person think he was mentally challenged and that I was truly incapable. And this book really has a lot of elements, like post-apocalyptic mecha mutants. I felt completely manipulated while watching this romantic drama. Always being a clown! The plot got a bit tiring towards the end, with constant character switching, and why is there still a love-hate relationship storyline at the end?!

    I recently finished reading this, haha, so I'm quite familiar with the plot. It leans towards the infinite flow genre with some ensemble elements. Both the main characters have rather tragic backstories. The main character's background made me furious – just bully our little white cat! And the other character's background was so heartbreaking. Xiao Fang is so pitiful. I'm in so much pain. Crab Legs is completely gone! (Actually, the whole book is an anti-crab leg story). And then! This is a non-human story! It constantly tested my limits while reading. But I kept reading anyway, okay, my limits keep getting lower. I recommend it!

    This book gave me a fright when I first started reading, but later I realized it wasn't actually that scary. However, compared to the author's previous book, *Trials of Man*, the character development wasn't as vivid. It leaned a bit towards logic, with quite a few plot twists. Apart from one villain who was rather memorable, the other characters were like water, smoothing out all the mental turmoil. I don't remember much about it.
