Good Books (Please Don't Send Flowers, They're Not Much Use)
Giving gifts to characters is like tipping the author. I just don't know whether the exact rates differ. The pinnacle, the top of the pyramid: highly recommended Fly Beyond Thirty Years The Magic User of the Clow Cards The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Mythic Form Bloodline of the Kingdom Forty Millennia of Cultivation Above the Dome I'm a Killer App, complete set The Divine Assistant of Another World (To be continued)
2026 HELLO, Always Have a Book in Hand
Hard work doesn't always pay off. Two years of struggle, and I have nothing to show for it. The first mountain pass is behind me, but the dust has yet to settle. I'll spur my horse onward and ride again. Let me brew some fresh tea with the new fire. Poetry and wine are best enjoyed while we're young.

Its strengths lie in its well-developed world-building, its imaginative plot development, and its relatively delicate writing style. The shortcomings are also obvious. What does it mean that the twenty chapters lay the groundwork for a complete world view?
I couldn't stand it. First, the name is almost identical to my brother's. Second, the beginning is poorly written, with a strange, pretentious, and affected feel, like pointless whining.
To write a story, you need to write a grand story. Don't be like those authors who ramble on and on, showing off their knowledge of the plot. It's really annoying. Look at Attack on Titan. It starts as a little kid and gradually levels up, joining the Survey Corps.
After reading eight chapters, I'm marking this down. The author seems like a typical "novice" on Qidian, with a very rough writing style, full of verbose settings and some casual, unpolished language—a common sight, especially in the fantasy section. However, these eight chapters reveal that the author is a somewhat talented and thoughtful "novice."
Is it really a game-themed isekai (otherworld) novel?
Hundreds of thousands of words, and you haven't leveled up? Are you serious?
I've caught up to the latest episode, tested it out, and in short, it's wordy. The author's ability to advance the story is lacking, and the level of padding is off the charts. For example, in Chapter 27, there are six people on the other side.
The main plot is unclear. The most dangerous time for this kind of story is when the first crisis ends and there's no way to start a new one. What is the protagonist doing after leading the team out of danger? He doesn't strive to become stronger, nor does he change jobs; he just plays house with the adventure group and the dancers. All that build-up for the apocalyptic crisis was for nothing.
I hope this doesn't contain any harmful content. The biggest problem with the Amber style is being a simp, recklessly fawning over virtual characters. In today's society, anyone who dares to write something like that would be outraged.
Bro! Remember this! Never be a sycophant to NPCs!
This isn't the era of Amber Sword anymore. If you write about Amber Sword now and you're also a simp for the game characters, you'll definitely drive away a lot of people!
70% Of a chapter directly reveals the setting, while 30% describes the actual development, making it read like an expository text.
