"When our generation grew up through games, forging the most genuine friendships across geographical boundaries and experiencing the purest love beyond the virtual world. When popular culture, represented by games, finally dons the halo and becomes a celebrated story, making us excited, laughing, and crying, it means that the fears and loves of a generation have been recognized," Spielberg said in "Ready Player One." Our generation grew up in a new era, finding friendship and love in the virtual world of the internet—something almost unbelievable to the older generation. The internet and games have changed our lives and shaped our youth. In my opinion, Lost Leaf's online game novels are the epitome of this kind of life, a Tower of Babel where we can converse with the game's god. The first book I read by Ye Zi was probably "Zhan Long" in 2013. As a student at the time, I was captivated by this genre for the first time. The close connection between the real and virtual worlds, the passion, the youth—these were exactly the hottest themes for young people. From then on, Ye Zi's online game novels became my number one favorite. Aside from the vividly portrayed characters, fluent writing style, and rich plot, I think Ye Zi's book has three other major highlights. Firstly, the interweaving of reality and virtuality creates a sense of being in another world. Holographic online games are carried by headsets. Wearing the headset opens up a completely new world, filled with battles and romance. Removing the headset reveals the mundane realities of life, with its diverse professions and romantic relationships. In Ye Zi's works, almost every protagonist's journey to godhood in the game is accompanied by an NPC goddess. These NPC goddesses appear through the holographic game, and some of them also appear in reality in various ways. Whether it's the peerless Xinran or the bright moonlit pool of Tianxing, they ultimately appear in the real world in various forms, not only giving the work a relatively satisfactory ending but also strengthening the connection between virtual and reality. This allows online games to break free from the major constraint of the separation between the virtual and real worlds, which is truly remarkable. The connection between virtual and virtual reality reaches its peak in *Zhanlong*. Incorporating cultivation elements into online game novels is almost unprecedented, offering a refreshing experience. Now, as a sequel to Dragon Slayer, the appearance of Moon Slayer seems to be even more impressive. How much success can be achieved by connecting cultivation abilities with online games? We'll leave that aside for now and look forward to Moon Slayer's even better development in the future. Secondly, the aestheticization of suffering imbues the works with a power akin to the crucifixion and rebirth of Jesus. Before reaching their peak, the protagonists in Ye Zi's works invariably encounter various setbacks. These setbacks may come from external or internal sources, from the virtual or the real. From Lu Chen's strange illness in *Peerless Under Heaven*, to Dongcheng Lei's death in *Dragon Slayer*, and even Fusu's passing in *The Journey of Heaven*, these people and events seem to have vanished, yet upon turning back, they seem to still be watching you move forward. This sense of drifting, like the waning moon, remains beautiful, but carries a faint melancholy, pushing the emotions of the entire work to their climax. Thirdly, there's the accurate data flow. As a web novel, detailed and accurate data is a major selling point. Judging from the detailed data in Ye Zi's work, the author must have put a lot of effort into this aspect. This data greatly enhances the work. The fast pace of modern life places immense pressure on people in reality, and interpersonal relationships are complex, inescapable, and inextricably intertwined. If there were another virtual world, could it rekindle our initial sense of wonder? Rapid technological advancements and progress in VR technology seem to have made holographic games a possibility, and in the near future, human relationships may become even closer through this. Just like now, I'm communicating with you, a stranger, through a short piece of writing.

I remember when I was in sixth grade, my cousin came to my house with his PSP. He was looking at something, and when I went over to take a look, I realized it was an e-book. I clearly remember that the passage was about the scholar killing Dark Roar, reaching level 255, entering the Holy Realm, and fighting against tens of millions of players on the American server. I was deeply shocked at that time. So, after learning about this novel called "Online Game: Conquering the World" from my cousin, I couldn't stop reading it. In "Online Game: Pirated Myth," Lin Fan's talent and responsibility; in "Conquering the World," the scholar and Binglan's self-sacrifice to become saints; in "Peerless Under Heaven," Lu Chen, suffering from severe poison but possessing an indomitable spirit. Next, there was Lin Yang and Yun Xiaoxi in "Battle God," and Lin Feng and Susan in "Urban Evil Sword Immortal." The love stories of Bu Yixuan and Bu Xuanyin in *Legend of the Sword King*, Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, and Qin Yin in *Refining the Gods*, Ding Muchen, Su Xiran, and Tang Yun in *The Journey of the Heavens*, as well as the love between Shan You Fusu and Xi You Hehua, and Ouyang Luli and Lin Xi in the currently updating *Slaying the Moon*. Each and every character is brought to life by Ye Zi's pen. Although many characters are portrayed in a way that loses their original meaning, and some even have rushed endings, this doesn't diminish my love for them. Many people criticize *The Journey of the Heavens*, but when I saw Fusu's tragic death for love, and when I saw Ding Muchen's suicide out of guilt over Fusu's death, my heart still tightened. Thank you for your books that accompanied my youth, Ye Zi, and also our Ding Laoba. Eternal snow and moon, traversing the world; souls intertwined, seeking the Dao with the sword!

Our generation grew up playing games. The first online game novels I read were Ye Da's "Conquering the World" and "Peerless Under Heaven". At the time, I wondered how anyone could write in the first person, but the more I read, the more engrossed I became, and I was amazed by the online game world that Ye Da created. The clear world-building, vivid character personalities, and unparalleled data-driven approach create a satisfyingly impressive experience. Back then, the game I played was Legend of Mir, where I killed people, fought monsters, and looted equipment. When reading novels, I would always immerse myself in the stories of the game world through my own thoughts. Now the Moonlit Trilogy has added Skywalker and Moonbreaker. I remember when Dragon Slayer came out after Across the World and Peerless Under Heaven, I was very happy to see Ye Da's masterpiece again. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑I'm writing a long review today. I hope Ye Da can keep going. There are so few traditional online games these days. Da Yan Gang and San Tian Liang Jue have both given up writing and switched to other genres. Ye Da, as the pioneer of online game novels, please stay healthy and keep going! (ง •̀_•́)ง 😬 Cast 10 votes!

What's going on here? I thought Yi Lu was doing all good things, so why add unnecessary drama and make the concubines hate him? Or are they trying to portray the concubines as vengeful and unforgiving? I really can't continue reading this book; the logic is just too messed up. I've been following Ye Zi's novels for over seven years, and now I can only say goodbye until the next one. I hope Ye Zi does a better job in the next one!

Each plot point is written concisely, vividly, and without dragging. A great book, keep it up!
