I Can Lower the Level of Cultivation

The protagonist's "golden finger" (superpower/cheat code) setting in this book is quite good, but the constant mention of it being created by someone else is really annoying. Couldn't it just be the protagonist's unique, innate ability with no backdoors or behind-the-scenes creators? Isn't a "golden finger" just something the author sets up to give readers a satisfying experience?

Author, read after me

The title is "Crypto-Functional Realism," but it's actually a visual representation of a Crypto-Functional game within a Celestial Realm. Essentially, it's a cheat-like system in a Celestial Realm where Crypto-Functional abilities are available, such as those found in Don't Starve and Bloodborne, including 2.5D visual effects, pain reduction, and various crafting abilities.

I've read a few chapters, and to be honest, it's not bad. But here's a preliminary review: feel free to prove me wrong after the book is finished. The book's disgraceful performance has become the biggest topic among fans recently. Let's take a look at ***'s comments on this. The outspoken *** bluntly stated: "Old Wu's awful ending shows he's completely shameless.

This book is written entirely from the author's own perspective. After reading about ten pages, I was completely lost and couldn't make sense of it. It throws around all sorts of gods and events without any prior setup, just jumping straight into the story. I even wondered if I'd missed reading dozens of pages! The writing itself is okay, but I just don't understand what it's trying to say.

Old Wu, please stop writing these kinds of useless middle-aged protagonists. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I could just grab any high school student off the street and make them the protagonist; they'd be far better than this Zhou Ning. It's so pretentious. If you have a cheat ability, just use it; why are you fussing over it?

I only realized something was wrong in the latest chapter. It seems the author intentionally created a plot twist, but it felt too abrupt. The recent chapters have been very abruptly contradicting the previous ones. You thought it was a group dungeon run? Actually, you got sabotaged by your teammates. You thought you got sabotaged by your teammates? Actually, I benefited more?

He talks to himself, likes to preach, keeps emphasizing that it's a game, yet also stresses the mentality of a commoner, and the system is confusing. The job change stats and preparations are all so confusing. It's completely self-indulgent. Reading this is like listening to a monk chanting sutras—incomprehensible and annoying.

Try to tone down your tendency to provide commentary! It started around the time of the Bloodline arc and has gotten increasingly worse. You only get a sentence or two about the main plot, while meaningless commentary and personal reflections on life far outweigh the main story. At this rate, this book might as well be renamed "Boundless Reflections on Life."

A book needs a compelling story to be engaging... Lao Wu's concept ideas are top-notch, his imagination is brilliant, but he can't tell a story. His recent books all feature a single protagonist with a linear character progression, coupled with constantly changing settings. The problem is too obvious; I don't believe the author isn't aware of it. 😅 Back when I watched the stories of the Master of Spells and the Lord of the Abyss, I was truly amazed by their brilliance.
