Doomsday Ring

I read over a hundred chapters and then gave up. The protagonist's character was too despicable. He wasn't the kind of purely rational, decisive ruthless character like Cao Cao; he was just as disgusting as a villain. He partnered with others to start a company, owning 75% of the shares while the other two partners combined held 15%.

Let's start a thread to collect sequences from level D to level A. The template is as follows. Sequence d-03-Strong Effect - Strong: Increases health by an additional 25%. Description: Strong guys always die a little slower than others. 🤫

I dropped the book after reading chapter 58 because of the protagonist's character! The author might try to defend him later, but I just couldn't stand it anymore! The protagonist doesn't treat his two partners like brothers at all! How can a company operate like this?! Is he the only one cultivating?

Three years ago, I might have been able to keep reading, but now I can't stand it. It's all nonsense, the pacing is too slow. I've only read a dozen chapters, and two-thirds of it is just the conversations between the sequence observer and the protagonist. It's so padded. Of those 2.4 Million words, probably 1.5 Million are just the observer's ramblings. It's so padded it makes my blood pressure rise.

What I hate most are those stories about straight, unyielding male protagonists who only encounter beautiful women and then act cool and pretentious in front of them, creating all sorts of ambiguous situations, while still maintaining a cold and disdainful demeanor. These kinds of protagonists are the most secretly horny.

If one has no woman in their heart, then drawing their sword will naturally make them a god. The first page of the sword manual: Forget your beloved. Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed. The little girl won't; she'll make my knife even faster. Even a mature woman wouldn't do that; she'd only make my knife more ruthless. A rich woman would never do that; she would buy me a good knife.

Too many plot holes remain unfilled. The initially established power system hasn't been developed further. The protagonist's character has faded as his power increases, turning him into a typical overpowered protagonist. His abilities haven't been properly developed, and while the Observer at least had some witty banter, the Fusionist and Summoner are never seen.

So, what is the purpose of the Dawn Disc? What is the evil cultivation practiced by the Bai family in Gu's mouth? What is the significance of Gu taking Bai Qingshuang away? What was the meaning of Emperor Wuqiyi's actions? What are Bai Yuetong's abilities? Why can't she cultivate? Why can she see so many things?

Seeing the author's discussion of the conflict between human will and the world's will in the final chapter, I inexplicably recalled a video I saw on Bilibili about soul sacrifice, which also explored the cycle of reincarnation and the conflict between human souls and the world's will.

The beginning was good, but then Nightmare suddenly introduced an intelligence-based puzzle room, which I barely managed to keep reading. Then, the 8th-tier mutant created another game space, and I couldn't continue reading at all. 😵
