The Strange World: I Passed the City God Exam

The author's views on good and evil are truly debatable. The initial discussion about intentional and unintentional acts is genuine; one hasn't witnessed the wickedness of the world. Intentionally doing good doesn't necessarily stem from a genuine desire for good; there must be an ulterior motive.

Any novel whose core themes involve good and evil, merit and righteousness, will not go far. Because the concepts of good and evil, cause and effect, can be interpreted from a thousand different perspectives and beliefs, there will never be a true answer, and novels written in this way will inevitably be inherently flawed.

Many novels depict rural areas as destroyed, so where do the resources come from to support the cities?

Is this all there is to the City God exam? I could do it too.

I've read a lot of comments, and they all focus on how to punish someone who does evil but then does good, or what to do if an act is inherently evil but has a good outcome. Why do you insist on linking punishments together? Good is good, evil is evil; they don't cancel each other out. Good should be rewarded, and evil should be punished.

There used to be a novel with a bad ending called "Starting from the City God".

New book launch, seeking recommendations and further reading, thank you!

Another story where the story was suddenly cut short and then suddenly a female lead was added.

The author and the reader are both not qualified to start with a discussion of good and evil, so let's not make a fool of ourselves.

If one intends to do good, the reward may be small; if one does evil unintentionally, the consequences will be determined by the karma. Unintentional good deeds should be rewarded; intentional evil deeds should be punished.
