How to put it...? How to put it? No wonder it's Mo Ma Gongzi! I was wondering why he wasn't more popular. This is so much better than some of those established authors who just rely on their past work. (Speed updates...)
Let me emphasize first, the book is extremely good, absolutely fantastic! The author put a lot of effort into it! I'm not here to nitpick; I just want to share some objective thoughts. Please note that the following content has little impact on the enjoyment of this book; the author's beautiful writing and well-developed storyline completely captivated me.
Those who don't know might think today is Valentine's Day, but others might mistake it for Tomb Sweeping Day. 🤔
The female lead.
Chapter Two is a total turn-off! Using abilities requires energy, and the protagonist can't recover that energy on their own; they need the system to provide it!
Actually, the story is alright. The writing style is average, but not terrible. The low subscription rate is probably due to two reasons: First, the plot is dragging. It's clear the author dug countless plot holes, but it gives the impression of not being able to fill them. I hope I'm proven wrong in the end. Second, it's not exciting enough.
The prices are ridiculous. A taxi ride in the city costs just over twenty yuan, and hiring a superpowered person to kill a monster, even the lowest level one, that seriously threatens social stability and would be fatal to an ordinary person, only costs ten thousand yuan... Why don't superpowered people use their superpowers for something else?
I just watched a bit, and it seemed pretty good at first, but I don't understand where the protagonist's trust in the dark web comes from. The idea that privacy is guaranteed on the dark web, and that he's obsessed with money, saving up just to buy information there—it's ridiculous. The protagonist seemed quite intelligent at first, but here he's just a complete idiot. All the supplementary explanations, the forced attempts to justify his idiotic behavior—it all feels so awkward.
The system is poorly configured, creating a puppet-like host who uses skills but is merely a tool for pressing buttons. No matter how high the level or how strong the abilities, the host has absolutely no connection to the protagonist. The system is named "Curse," and most readers were drawn to it because of the curse itself. However, what turns out to be a curse is actually magic—a true curse.
Using a skill requires replenishing your mana bar, which is really frustrating. Even if you reply to half of it every day for 24 hours, or even the full amount in a month, that would be great. The way to replenish the blue bar is by participating in tasks.
