The Great Shang Dynasty: Starting with Divination

There's a lot of historical research involved! But personally, I think this kind of cultivation method based on luck is both a blessing and a curse. What you borrow from others must eventually be returned. If you borrow luck to cultivate, what should you repay? Furthermore, I find this method of divination by fate inappropriate.

I wonder if anyone else feels the same way I do. The first few chapters weren't particularly captivating, but they gradually got better and better (really good! You could even call it amazing). However, when the protagonist inexplicably entered an illusion/dungeon, it suddenly became very frustrating, and I wanted to skip over those chapters quickly. Those chapters felt really abrupt.

It's well-written, and the power system and worldview are quite innovative. The environment is different now than before. A book can become a hit not just because of its writing skills, but also because of a bit of luck. Otherwise, you can only slowly build up popularity one book at a time. After saying so much, I'm speechless. And that's how it got to the top.

Firstly, the protagonist's cheat ability can be roughly viewed as adding points through divination. He can divinate for others to increase their lifespan, achieving a kind of immortality, but then divination consumes his own lifespan. Unlike other idiots who desperately suppress their cheat abilities after unlocking them, the author doesn't do this. Next, let's talk about the plot.

A Song of Mountains and Seas

The chapter titles become increasingly childish and veer towards a comedic and nonsensical style as the story progresses. I've already started skipping chapters; you can tell just by looking at the titles—there's no suspense whatsoever, making it unappealing to read.

Sometimes, after reading too many historical articles, I feel that no matter how well-written they are, they are ultimately no match for rebellion.

This book is unreadable. The timeline keeps freezing, the protagonist enters two different instances without any apparent purpose in advancing the plot, and the timeline is completely stuck. The subsequent dynasties—Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and so on—are going to take tens of millions of words! It's so uninspiring! I've added this book back and forth on my bookshelf multiple times. Forget it, I've decided not to read it anymore.
