How much have you weakened these ancient mythological figures? A single Gundam can blast a god's body to dust? What were they doing in the ancient times? A single Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was a miniature world; and you think a single Gundam can kill a Golden Immortal?
Let me share my initial impressions (containing minor spoilers).
The book should be good; the author has a strong writing style and is suspected to be a successful author who has returned to the public eye. I've been following this book since last night, and I'm about halfway through. I've heard that the later parts are quite exciting. So, let me share what I think are the book's strengths and weaknesses.
To be honest, I've read this book on and off until the latest version. Its style is truly unique. I can't quite put my finger on what makes it special, but its character development is incredibly successful. I don't know many books that feature 108 distinct characters, each with their own personality.
The author's writing is excellent, especially the parts before taking Jinzha on his trip, where the characters are vividly portrayed. Even though some plot points after the trip are a bit formulaic, they can still be understood as educating Jinzha. However, when they encounter the Drunken Sword Immortal, the character's personality starts to feel off.
Shennong's Rebellion: From the very first chapter to the latest, it's been incredibly captivating. Let me mention the strengths: the protagonist has strong moral principles and is very charismatic; the plot is unconventional with frequent unexpected twists; the writing is excellent, and the ensemble cast is well-developed and compelling. As for the rest, you'll have to read it yourself—I guarantee you won't regret it...
The book's mistake lies in its overly realistic beginning. If you don't make it to the middle, you won't experience the carefree joy of middle-aged people, only a bellyful of resentment. Life is already hard enough as it is...
I will subscribe to the entire book. I just don't know if the author can keep going! Midlife crisis, huh? People who haven't experienced it probably don't want to read this. I wonder how many people enjoy reading this kind of novel →_→ Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง
You kneel but don't kneel properly, and you stand but don't stand steadily enough, a bit like you. He writes novels that are neither true nor realistic, yet he hopes they will increase his income. I remember you reminded me when you said your first book was going to end badly, that you had already gained some popularity, but you ruined it yourself. Your second book's update frequency wasn't picking up, and you were feeling anxious.
The title is "midlife crisis," and the beginning is about a midlife crisis, but you can't really write about an ordinary person who is powerless in the face of a midlife crisis. After all, online novels need to be enjoyable, which results in a serious disconnect between characters. For my next book, I'll just write about a normal protagonist; no more plot twists. Too many twists make me dizzy.
This novel is really interesting. The middle-aged man's depression and frustration, his humiliation and desperate pleas for help for his child—it's so realistic! And the story's background, the heavily modified version of the Investiture of the Gods, is really fun. I hope the author's success continues! That way, the author will have more motivation to write better books.
