This Really Isn't the Fourth Calamity

This kind of story should absolutely, positively, not be related to the real world, such as giving players superpowers or anything like that.

Few books have inspired me to write this many reviews. After reading dozens of chapters, I can say that the author's depiction of the real world is indeed akin to a lower dimension, but all the problems are solved from the perspective of ordinary people. Regarding the distribution of benefits and international entanglements, I only saw the real side progressing from probing to relentless pressure.

I really dislike names like "Hongmeng," "Nuwa," and "Human Emperor." They don't fit the genre of magic you're writing at all. It's neither Chinese nor Western, and it's not like you're writing about reincarnation. Each story is a movie, so you can write about the Republic of China or suddenly switch to Jurassic Park. Can you please stop making it so jarring? People will skip the "Hongmeng" part. Your updates are already slow, and now you're adding "Hongmeng" to the list?

Looking forward to the rest of the story; will reality change the plot in some way? 😁

I'm curious if the author's recent data is really good; there aren't many chapter comments left. Chunshui's fate is too tragic. I really don't want to see a hardworking ordinary person end up losing everything because of the protagonist's willful and reckless behavior. The settlement he worked so hard to build in the Second Spiritual Home is worthless in the end. What am I watching?

I recently finished reading it in one go. The first half was great, but the game content dwindled, and the real-world elements became increasingly weak and inexplicable. What on earth were those last few dozen chapters? It was all the author's self-indulgence; I couldn't understand the author's motivations at all. I'd rather have more online game content about grinding for loot than this. I really couldn't stand it anymore. I might as well finish this and start a new book.

Other books about the Fourth Calamity are either action-packed or comedic... But this one is overflowing with negativity, awesome!

The beginning of this book was indeed good, but I started skipping around in the middle and didn't want to read any further. Too many perspectives depict the lives of the lower classes, so there wasn't a single powerful character among them? Later on, the protagonist's subordinates and the real world all started to spiral out of control. What was the point of building all this?

The book has a somber atmosphere, as many passages depict the darker side of humanity in both reality and the game. It's quite interesting in the beginning, but becomes increasingly negative in the middle. It's a well-written book, but for those who enjoy it, it's a gem; for me, it became increasingly difficult to read.

I don't understand why so much reality is described. The game developers should just write the game itself. And from the player's perspective, it's all grotesque characters. Couldn't they include some charismatic, distinctive personalities? Controlling the players is even simpler: ban anyone who disrespects the game developers, put them in a blacklist for a few years, and then talk to them.
