Good books have been popping up all of a sudden lately, one after another. The plots fulfilled all my fantasies about fantasy worlds back in high school—realistic, dreamlike, yet satisfying. Although they were just my old chuunibyou days, they still managed to move me. Sometimes you might feel that those are things you liked a long time ago, and you probably wouldn't like them anymore.

It's a very good book. Most of the characters are well-developed and complete, and everyone has their own path, regardless of right or wrong. It doesn't have the mindless villains of some light novels or the repetitive face-slapping and boasting of some low-quality wish-fulfillment stories. It's a shame this good book isn't more popular... However, the content is a bit lacking compared to the title and synopsis.

What attracted me was the early part of the story. The early plot is fine on its own; it's very tight and logical, perfectly embodying the "Destroyer of Worlds" aura and personality. The various fight scenes are also generally fine. However, there are many things that weren't well-written. First: Liu Qianwen is an important character, but her influence on the protagonist is not very obvious.

The only novel I've seen that doesn't suffer a critical failure is *Zhu Xian*, which kills off one female lead and then introduces another. If the author is simply writing a story they want to tell, that's fine. But if it's for a living, I'd suggest avoiding this approach in future works. Harem novels or those with a single female lead have a large readership.

It felt a bit awkward () =. He rambled on and on before committing the murder, then had to explain everything to the victim. Speechless 😓

I've read dozens of chapters, and the first few were actually quite engaging. The background setting wasn't bad either, but I just don't understand the protagonist's motivation. Shouldn't the most important thing be leaving the slums and entering a wider world? Why is he causing trouble every day?

To be honest, I found it a bit awkward to continue after just one chapter. The excessive use of adjectives made the characters and story feel bloated and greasy! Then I checked out the posts, and it seems the later chapters are similar! I'm new to this, so I can't say whether it's good or bad, just that it doesn't suit my taste! Keep it up, author! I hope to have the opportunity to read your other refreshing books that suit my taste in the future!

I don't think the reason this book isn't popular is due to its subject matter, writing style, or other world-building issues. Rather, it's because the author created a world where monsters eat people and people eat people. When readers immerse themselves in this world, they can't vent their anger and resentment. A book that suppresses emotions doesn't work in online fiction.

It looks great! Keep updating, keep it up! 👍

The book mentions the situation this month, but I'm repeating it here in case some people missed it. The postgraduate entrance exam is near the end of this month. I've been preparing for this exam for more than half a year. For the past six months, I've been busy preparing for the exam while also writing, so due to lack of energy, many parts haven't been written well and the amount of updates has…
