Great Books I've Read to Pass the Time
Novels he never has time to post.
Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've

A Tun's Book Reviews
The books on today's rankings still seem to be a mixed bag. Sometimes I feel like reading, so I pick out a few, hoping that even if I read them, it will not be a waste of time. When I have nothing else to do, I write a few comments on the books I have read. These are only one person's opinions, written casually without much careful consideration. As long as the reviews pass moderation, that is good enough.

I counted the time carefully (including spoilers).
I just realized how incredibly fast the guy who called off the engagement is; he's only been playing for less than a week. On the first day, I beat up beggars, shopkeepers, and miscellaneous thugs, then went to sleep. The next day, they went out of the city to fight the two scourges, returned to the manor to fight the Winter Exterminator, and at night fought the two tigers and the Winter…
The female character who came to the protagonist's door was poorly developed, and the relationship between her and the protagonist felt very awkward and disconnected. Even after reading up to chapter 50, she still felt like a complete stranger to the protagonist.
The first half was quite good, but it really lost its charm in the middle and later parts.
1. In the early stages, the female protagonist's realism was abrupt, but it can be considered as an introduction to supplement the world view. The story before and after the fake Moon City was quite good, with good content. However, before the Three Religions Clash, it became dry grass, and after the Three Religions Clash, it became poisonous grass.
The game isn't very free. In my understanding, if it's a game, there are no insurmountable levels, so the protagonist's brute force approach is acceptable. But in reality, the biggest problem is that there are indeed problems that are impossible to solve no matter what, such as someone needing to be rescued from a light-year away—human resources are sometimes limited, and if it's not possible…
A few words from a long-time reader
To be honest, I was furious when I first started reading your book and watched it finish. I even wrote a long post criticizing you for being irresponsible to your readers, for abandoning your accumulated fanbase, for the outlining being so distasteful, and for being so pretentious as to kill off the guy who broke off the engagement, letting Zhiwu take the stage.
Did he get carried away with his pretentious, artsy persona in the mid-to-late game? Wasn't the invincible protagonist storyline at the beginning quite well-written? What was he thinking when he started suppressing the protagonist in the mid-game?
The premise is good, but the writing is terrible, it's tedious, and it has a bit of an overly sentimental, pretentious feel to it.
Damn, why isn't someone this good-looking more popular?
The plot gets more and more boring as it goes on.
Is it because of a lack of strength?
The protagonist's cheat is pretty awesome; he can revive six times a day. Let's say he uses five lives each day to fight opponents with 20 attribute points, stealing 2 points each time. On the first day, he'd have 10 points. After two days of fighting, he'd be stronger on the second day. Then he could find opponents with even higher attributes to fight. Would he still lack attributes?
