This is the most plausible formula I've ever seen in special effects movies. Other special effects films either rely on a system or have the protagonist build a fake special effects team as a cover. Even in other films that also use AI as a guise for special effects, the protagonist tells one lie after another to explain the origin of the effects, resulting in a string of lies.
When AI is used as a system, even rewards are being generated.
The initial design was good, but the problem is that the protagonist is too young. An 18-year-old Hollywood director, lighting technician, and someone who even studied at USC—this is just too jarring. Actually, if the protagonist were 23 or 24, it wouldn't have made much difference to the overall design. The intention was to make the design as realistic as possible, but the age makes it feel very out of place.
It's a real shame about this book. It seemed to be going well, but the author said he got confused and couldn't continue writing. This book is now finished.
Because my two trips to Hong Kong didn't go very well, I can't stand reading novels that start there now.
The author wanted to provide a more detailed explanation, but didn't quite manage it; it became too verbose, with 3/5 of the content being unnecessary.
Didn't they say they'd sort it out and reissue it?
The original Bleach 2 is vastly different from the original manga, primarily in its concepts. While the original manga features a "God," death is essentially a series of accidents. This original introduces too many supernatural elements. It could be a battle of wits, with one side causing accidents to occur continuously, and the other using accidents to negate previous ones.
The author has absolutely no understanding of that era.
The idea is good, but setting a historical context requires at least some understanding of that era, rather than relying on a 2026 fantasy. Also, the protagonist's identity is incredibly awkward. The author seems clueless about what a green card is, or how cutting-edge the technology was at the time—technology Hollywood would have been begging for.
Well, the design is pretty good, but the details are too disjointed. I couldn't watch more than half of it.
