The Great Sculptor

I spent an entire afternoon reading through all the currently updated chapters in one go. The phrase "No madness, no life" struck my mind with lightning speed, making me feel like crying. The first time I read Sweet Melon's work was in high school, with his novel "The Soul Painter." I was immediately captivated by the madness of the artists and the fleeting moments of genius he portrayed.

What makes "The Soul Painter" stand out among online novels is not the artist, but the suspense.

Just draw and write according to your soul's inspiration. Your writing is really good. Finding your own path is very important.

Regarding the plot point where my mentor's life was swapped, the conditions for triggering the swap and the necessary costs weren't explained. The plot mentioned a specific interaction point that would cause one side to rise and the other to fall, which I assumed was a condition, but it turned out to be the antidote...

Luckily I read it before, let me try to summarize it here: First, the dire situation of the CEA was described, followed by how the NRO infiltrated and their purpose. Later, during a CEA video conference, Ronin expressed Shaun's viewpoint: "Level 10 sculptures should be based on God."

His advisor criticized the protagonist relentlessly, yet didn't even realize his own apprentice had been replaced. The protagonist even has to go and save him; this country is incompetent. There's no one there.

Emmm, it's well written, but the characters are too stereotypical, especially the villain Lu Fan in the early stages, who is not only stereotypical but also a bit dim-witted... I hope the author can develop the characters in more depth later on.

I must say, reading this book was both pleasurable and painful, perhaps because my moral values ​​are rather outdated. However, there's no doubt that the protagonist isn't inhuman. He is still human, just experiencing the pleasure of creation. One can only hope the plot could be a little more human. That's all.

It's true that without comparison, there's no harm done. For example, I recently read a food novel that never described the cooking process. It only talked about how amazing the ingredients were, how addictive they were, and so on, but it completely ignored knife skills and ingredient handling—the skills that truly demonstrate a chef's expertise.

As the title suggests, I was the one trembling all over; the protagonist was driven mad with rage. Words have a life of their own, but I rarely see that in online novels, at least not within my limited reading scope. If ordinary feel-good novels are like fresh air, making you feel happy, then after a while, once you get used to them, they become the easiest thing to overlook, nothing more than…
