[New book: I Just Want to Play Folk-Custom Games in Peace]
“Cry three times at birth, and a miserable fate takes shape.”
Xin Ming downloads a text-based adventure game called The Mortal World. He only means to give it a try, but once he starts playing, he can’t stop!
Twelve temple lineages, ninety-six divisions of fate;
One offering to prepare a vessel, one folk deity to enshrine.
In ancient times, those who prepared the vessels served as temple keepers, inviting folk deities to reveal their miracles.
Today, people from every walk of life prepare the vessels, representing the three hundred and sixty-five trades of the marketplace and martial world.
It isn’t until items from the game start appearing in reality that he realizes the game he’s playing is no ordinary one…
[You want to steal the dragon’s vein from the old woods. Fate check: Great Misfortune, Great Misfortune, No Blame, Great Fortune.]
[You have obtained the dragon’s vein…]
[You want to kill the returning traveler before you. Fate check: Great Misfortune, No Blame, Good Fortune, Great Fortune!]
[The returning traveler before you is under the Grand Duke of Jupiter’s curse and dies from sheer bad luck.]
[You’re going to sneak into the Ghost Bride’s bedroom and hide above the beams. The Dice of Fate are being rolled…]
[Result: Great Misfortune!]
Xin Ming: “I don’t believe in fate. Roll three more times!”
[Results: Great Misfortune, Great Misfortune, Great Fortune!]
[The Dice of Fate’s verdict: Great Fortune!]
[Red candles burn bright, illuminating the bridal chamber like daylight. You use a steelyard to lift the Ghost Bride’s red veil. You obtain Red Veil x1, Golden Steelyard x1…]
In The Mortal World, every player’s actions depend on their strength and luck. Looking at his own fate, Xin Ming calls out to the players of the mortal world: “I don’t believe in fate!”
[Great Misfortune, Great Misfortune, Great Misfortune!]
“All right, I actually do believe in fate.”
This is infuriating! I'm willing to spend a hundred coins to rant about it. Basically, everything the protagonist gets is useless to him; he gives it all away for free. It's hilarious! Not a single supporting character is likable. The author's explanation is that the protagonist has never been poor and is willing to give.
Preface
The author is a newcomer, and this was originally just a self-indulgent piece. Getting a contract was an unexpected stroke of luck. This book is based on the setting of "The Mundane Master," so if you're looking for fanfiction, forget it, because the author is a complete Frankenstein's monster... Finally, I hope for everyone's support! I will strive to finish this first work!
I haven't seen a single novel that, while still a text-based story, remains entirely a text-based story from the very end, rather than a fantasy novel. Take *The Lost Tomb*, for example; the initial premise remains the same throughout the story. It doesn't change just because the protagonist becomes stronger or the world-building expands.
I really dislike the clone trope. Did the author really consider the horror of having someone exactly like you in this world?
Hang in there!
This subject matter is very difficult to write; very few people manage to finish it without abandoning it. Good luck!
Having a female lead isn't a big deal, since the author said it's considered a cheat code, and having younger siblings is fine too. The main characters already have childhood sweethearts and boyfriends, then there are younger siblings again, plus another couple in the club, and it's not even well-written.
I've never seen a single completed book like "The Eunuch's Lament."
Some evaluations and suggestions that I believe are relatively objective.
This work has a very interesting style, and I've kept it fully subscribed. I won't comment much on the plot and its direction—to each their own—but there are many aspects that are truly unacceptable, and I just have to get it off my chest. I'll just mention a few universal points: 1. The formatting of this article is very strange.
Difficult to hold
I'm currently on page 174, and the characters in the book always start their interactions with an elbow strike. No one touches the shoulder, taps the back, or makes a verbal signal; it's just an elbow strike! This book might as well be renamed "Man's Popular Tradition" 😜
Some thoughts after reading Chapter 192...
I was thinking of keeping the book updated after reading 192 chapters, but today I suddenly saw the title (I Can Choose the Dice Result) and didn't know which book it was. I clicked on it and then realized it was wrong. This shows that the title and content are unrelated...
