Seventeen-Year Veteran Reader's New-Book Reviews
(Old books are removed and new ones added from time to time. Books with more likes appear first. I've taste-tested every book myself, so please follow and bookmark the list.) I started reading web novels in 2003, when I entered college, so I've practically witnessed the genre's development. After reading so many web novels, I've come to realize that even in web fiction, a good book can resonate with readers and capture the subtle complexities of human nature.

I think I understand now. The author doesn't want to follow the same path as before, but the new ideas he comes up with aren't as good as the old ones. His eagerness to surpass his past work is backfiring. I suggest the author take a break, come up with a really good idea before starting the book, and refine the outline so he doesn't just write step by step and then collapse. I trust your writing skills, it's just the ideas... Also, I really like your feeling of downplaying the boundaries.
The part about recruiting people into the valley felt too casual. The protagonist and the four widowed individuals lacked any personal connections, relationships, or means of assistance. Their moral character wasn't assessed, nor were their talents or abilities mentioned. The origins of the widowed family weren't even investigated. They were certainly pitiful, though.
A widow with three children was pitied by the protagonist, who gave them neither money nor land, but instead took them to a blessed land where they were provided with food, clothing, and a life of cultivation. I'm puzzled. There are so many frozen corpses on the roads, so many beggars and poor people, and you didn't help them. Why did you suddenly show such favoritism to this family?
The beginning was amazing, but the plot became rather simple later on, mostly just fighting a few minor monsters. I initially thought it would involve constantly switching timelines, upgrading the power system, and witnessing famous figures from different eras, but it turned out to be so bland, just moving between two timelines with a very simple and repetitive plot. It was a pity.
I predict a brilliant start, a disastrous middle, and a weak ending.
I'd like to offer the author a suggestion. In my opinion, you're trying too hard to surpass *The Legend of the Chess Master*, and you're trying to innovate with different ideas and themes. I don't think that's necessary. Look at Gun Kai; he's mastered the *Extreme Flow* genre. Although each of his books is largely similar in style, his writing quality has remained consistently high.
This book has a very imaginative but strange premise. The opening could have easily led to many different storylines: group travel, cross-dimensional travel, parallel universes, a secluded paradise, an omniscient perspective, a spiritual revival, or a serendipitous encounter with a chess piece. But it ultimately chose none of those, opting instead for a clichéd path—classical cultivation.
Holy crap, it was really engaging at first, and I subscribed to 150 chapters, but the more I read, the more something seemed off. Then I realized it hadn't been updated in half a month. I was hesitating about whether to read the latest chapter, but then I checked the book reviews, and my heart sank instantly.
The protagonist taking the widow from the village back to Hidden Immortal Valley felt a bit abrupt. Why take her back? Because she's miserable. Ah... It seems that in the future, cultivating immortality won't require talent or character, just being miserable enough. It's a bit like Stephen Chow's "Flirting Scholar," a competition of who's more miserable.
Celebrities are truly pitiful. Being lured to ancient times to experience a life of debauchery in brothels might seem normal to them, but then they get their money stolen, their legs broken, and thrown in jail for weeks. Then they encounter a powerful, aloof figure who manipulates their fate, and are forced to fulfill some kind of promise through manipulation.
