In This Age of Powerhouses, I'm the Only Newbie

Is it still not finished? I started reading it in college, and I've already graduated with my master's degree, and it's still not finished.

I read this book a few years ago, then moved to another place. I remembered it, but perhaps my palate has become too discerning; I just couldn't muster the interest to reread it. From the early to mid-stages, once the world-building began, the author's storytelling was excellent. The setting and plot were complete, and the emotional descriptions and atmosphere were very well done, making it a smooth read. Simply put, the story was very well told. This is why so many people love it, and why I was able to binge-read it. However, the book also has numerous flaws. I won't go into the minor, subjective flaws mentioned in other reviews; I'll mainly focus on the two most core and fundamental ones...

Why do I feel that the author is an older man?

This book has already fallen off the bestseller list, so stop making it so weak. Write properly and find a chance to finish it. Write the rest as side stories.

New readers, please read this directly for free and then comment. Don't read the prologue before reading the book review, as it may mislead you, contain spoilers, and affect your reading experience. Thank you. Volume 17 can basically be considered Mia's main story... 356 Chapters, currently the longest volume. Let me first talk about my favorite parts of the whole book so far (in no particular order) (I'll reread it six times later... I've forgotten quite a bit now) Little Beggar: Dream Mia: Black Stone Castle Daimian: Main story volume... Penguins can fly! (If they really add a cat, I'll kill them) An Ruosu: Substitute An Ruoxi: Half a year's blessing... (When will the resurrection match be arranged?) Luo Luo: The handsome Luo Luo at the beginning...

I was planning to read this during a New Year's sale, but after reading the free portion, I was completely turned off. The entire experience was incredibly depressing. It's not that I can't accept the protagonist's gradual growth, or the foreshadowing; it feels like the protagonist is being targeted by the world's malice. The beginning tells you the protagonist has a tragic childhood, then they're betrayed and framed by their own companion spirit, then a reborn person returns and, for whatever reason, wants to kill the protagonist, who then incredibly tries to save them. The main theme is torment and oppression. There might be many foreshadowing elements, and I was hoping to find some uplifting moments in the free portion, but unfortunately, there weren't any...

It's already at 8 million words! Is it trying to compete with the mythological version of the Three Kingdoms and "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard" in terms of length?

How come I never realized this novel was so good before! No worries, there's still some left over.

Is this the longest river in the pineapple bun series? It feels like so many years ago.

I think I started reading this book during my university years, then for some reason I suddenly stopped following it for a few years. Now, rereading it, I've come to the part about Daimian. Although Daimian's initial appearance was indeed pitiful, I feel the author didn't need to keep using her as a whimpering character to torture the readers. While it's true that both Shiro and Qiye brought it upon themselves, they've already died and suffered so much; the author didn't need to keep using Daimian to torment her. If you created this character just to make the readers watch her suffer and torture them, then I think it's completely unnecessary. Sigh, she finally gets reborn, but they still won't acknowledge her. This protagonist is too twisted.
