This is an epic fantasy novel with an expansive world and a large cast of characters whose relationships are complex. The protagonists, supporting characters, villains, and passersby are all vividly portrayed, each with distinct personalities. It is a plot-driven ensemble novel with multiple protagonists.
The story features elements from Norse and Greek mythology, as well as angels, demons, witchers, schemers, nobles, religion, royalty, heroes, spies, fantastical creatures, swordsmanship, magic, technology, and history.
Time: The story is set roughly after the Renaissance and before the Industrial Revolution, in an era of intensifying social tensions, severe class conflict, and escalating racial strife.
Setting: The book is divided into three realms: the divine realm, home to angels; the demon realm, home to demons; and the mortal realm, home to humans. The story is centered on the mortal realm, particularly the Middle-earth continent, with Heaven in the divine realm and Hell in the demon realm as secondary settings.
Plot: The main storyline has both an overt and a hidden thread. The overt thread follows the struggles and rivalries among the various factions of Middle-earth as they pursue their own interests. The hidden thread follows the protagonist's efforts to save the world from its impending doom, and the outcome. There are many side plots for readers to discover on their own.
The story moves at a very fast pace, with no dawdling. There is no golden finger and it is not a System novel. It is completely unlike the formulaic novels popular today, with a distinctive style all its own.

It's quite fun to write, at least not tiring to read, but there's a problem: the different parts are too independent. The focus at the beginning is on Hughes, then suddenly it shifts to mainly describing Talia, giving the feeling that the main characters have changed.
It feels so quiet and deserted. Is Qidian the author's main platform, or is it on other novel apps? Anyway, in my opinion, this is a good work. Although it's not very popular right now, please don't give up on this novel easily, and don't give up on your hobbies. (Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal.)
This is a very interesting book. I've only read thirty or forty chapters, and the number of times it uses Western figures and allusions to subtly criticize and satirize is countless.
It's a carefully written fantasy, but please forgive me for pointing out a couple of personal opinions: First, the protagonist's character is weak, lacking both immersion and interest. Second, the sudden change of the protagonist is a major writing flaw. Third, the writing style is immature, and the characters lack depth. Many veteran writers have this, so it's not a big deal.
Aren't demons from the abyss? Shouldn't devils be the ones from hell?
Keep it up (ง •̀_•́)ง Let it grow a bit more.
Well, keep it up! Young man, I have high hopes for you! (´⊙ω⊙`)✧*. ٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*.
It's well-written; you've clearly put in the effort and genuinely wanted to write a fantasy story.
What is the name of the second book?
So where can I read the second book, and what's it called?
